    Non-Amazon fulfillment centers?

    Yeah the guys I use are terrific. No monthly fees. Based in AZ but they don't have a website yet or anything. I can give you the private contact email and mobile # to one of the guys via pm if you're interested .

    How to turn a manufacturing error into millions (the Garfield story)

    Saw this the other day and thought it was interesting to say the least. The creator of Garfield (the cartoon cat - a huge success in the 80's), had ordered a bunch of plush Garfield toys with velcro for its feet - that he thought people would want to attach to their curtains in their homes for...

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    Nice to see an update from you man. I'm curious to see where you take the clothing line and especially the goggles. I would think you could do something with athletic / cycling goggles as well since they would require rigidity and strength?

    I won 30k. What to do?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Most / all of us here who run businesses have had many many businesses that failed before it. Don't be afraid to reconsider and try again - but of course - spend VERY wisely in the beginning. Even if you set aside just 10% of your winnings earmarked for your first product, that investment could...

    My progress: creating a product

    EXECUTION 
    I remember you telling me about this. :) Have you tried the Facebook ads route? You should be able to reach the right people with some carefully chosen targeting, then build a list or at least an audience with a Facebook pixel.

    Yep. Like you, all I have heard about InventHelp has been 'stay away'. They thrive on people who have no clue where to start and 'ooh and aah' them with what seems like great value at first.

    I wouldn't sit on my hands and just wait for whatever they send you. Sure, they might send you some interesting manufacturing connections and quotes that may or may not be worth looking into. But I would still do my own research on that if I were you. It's always good to comparison shop when it...

    Yeah feel free to pm me questions directly too, but to answer this particular question ; By the time I started my crowdfunding, I had already closely perfected the first prototype and built around 20 units by hand that I sent out to influencers and press. I did get some minor product feedback...

    No problemo, glad you found it useful :) No I didn't do much validation testing with the supplement, but I used Kickstarter for that for my StayblCam ;) I had considered trying the same for the supplement before that, but their rules a restrictive when it comes to certain things - including...

    Yes that is basically what it means, or more specifically - finding out: - if there is a market for it - what the market thinks of the idea There are a few ways to test that, ranging from running some traffic (paid ads, social traffic, email, whatever) to a landing / teaser page where you...

    Oh wait... I re-read what you wrote again. Are you saying InventHelp wants that amount of money just to help you go forward with "marketing and production", as a service? If that is what you meant, then yeah I would certainly avoid that! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Hey @danipepino - I have been through this very same journey as @jon.a mentioned. I wouldn't say that spend estimate is a "scam". To get launched and going, it could cost you less, or it could cost more. Prototype/concept testing and market validation should be the first priority. If you are...

    Nice to see you decided to make that progress thread, buddy. I know you had a rough year from what you told me, but you're also one of those guys who won't let anything get in your way. You will do well in 2018 I am sure!!

    Lol. Wow.... What's MJ's favorite color? What music does he listen to? What toilet paper does he use? Gee... these questions need to be answered so that we can all better emulate him and thus, success is sure to follow. :D
