2. Yea I'm not design oriented at all so icant do to much better than that on my own. Were you able to understand what I was going for in this video or was it too long and boring?
Game Crafter has a cost estimator that rings up $7.63 to manufacture on demand a deck of 54 cards. Then they will provide a store front and print on demand for 50% of the profit. If you sold your cards for $14.99, that would be 7.36 profit. So $3.68 goes to you and $3.68 goes to Game Crafter.
You can also buy your own decks at cost ($7.63) to sell on your own. Maybe you should buy 10 and send them to Amazon to be sold through Amazon Fulfillment. You reach a larger market and keep more of the profit with very little risk to get started. Link to your Amazon item from your blog and maybe get affiliate money, too.
As for your marketing deficiencies, you should outsource your weaknesses. Not saying you need to pay a lot of money. Maybe you already know someone and you could buy them dinner for rewriting your description or working with you on your video.
Honestly it seems like you have a novel poker deck design and you are taking it a little too seriously. There are lots of novelty poker decks out there for every subject matter. Start small, like with Game Crafter and Amazon, and if it takes off then great. If it doesn't you can always keep it going with little overhead.
EDIT: A mobile app can be a good inexpensive companion product if done right. You can easily make an app to flip though images of cards and work offline. Use something like PhoneGap and you'll be done by Monday. Add ads, a link buy the physical cards, and give it away for free at least initially. Add an offline logbook in version 2. Maybe start charging $0.99 for it after that.
I would love to do the mobile app. Unfortunately I'm not a coder so it would take me quite a while to learn it myself. I outsourced the initial development of my website to India and they're still working on it.
Thanks for the tips.
