New to site. Love it. I have been making my own dry rub for a couple of years now. More and more people tell me I should sell it. Where do I start? I am in Illinois. Help please

I used sentry seasonings to get mine made. they did a great job. I just get it in bulk so i don't have to mess with making it myself. They did a 40lb minimum for me.
Just to toss some math into this..
If you order 50 lbs of rub. That works out to 800 ounces.
If you bottle it in 5oz bottles, that is 160 bottles. (~15 cases)
At these quantities; Bottle + cap + label is gonna cost ya $1.75- $2.50 each and that is before you put your rub in it or pay a co-packer to bottle it ($1.25-$1.50 per bottle to package, not counting cost of ingredients)
You could easily have $3.00-$4.00+ per bottle wrapped up before you buy the ingredients, add mark-ups and put some profit in your pocket.
Unless you are selling a premium product, at these cost levels, it will be difficult to sell at a high enough price to cover the effort spent.
Some co-packers will be more, some will be less, but at the 50lb mark, this seems to be a good average.
YMMV
Lots of people lose their shirts every year on 4 products that have way too much market activity already; bbq rubs, bbq sauces, hot sauces and salsa.
