Great second hand experience here. Rep transferred!Good to know someone's learning stuff from my random updates!
Here's a quick list of all the stuff I've learned so far:
1. Add real value. Not stuff you THINK is value.
2. Watch someone unwrap, assemble, and use your product. It'll tell you a LOT about how your customers interact with your products.
3. For your first validation run, ordering a small sample at a high unit price > ordering large order at a small unit price. Yeah, you won't make much profit (might even take a loss) from that first sample run, but it's a damn fine way to minimize loss if the market doesnt like your product. For example, I wasted $700 on this last project instead of losing $80. Really.
4. If you haven't found competitors, you're doing it wrong.
5. Add real value.
