    I have just published my new blog. Would love some FEEDBACK

    PUBLISHING 
    How do you guys make professional looking sites with wordpress? I'm tinkering around with it right now but I just can't get away from the unprofessional look. I would like my site to look something like yours (or boldanddetermined.com or dangerandplay.com). Your site (and the other 2 I...

    How can the little guy compete with the big guy?

    One of the biggest things I learned from TMF is that you must satisfy a need if you want to be successful. Like mj has said time and time again, its not about chasing money but rather chasing needs. So my question is, what would you do to differentiate yourself from the competition and satisfy...

    Best way to validate a need for a product?

    I have been looking at the Chinese wholesaler Alibaba and have stumbled upon a few products that I feel may sell well. However, this is just a hunch as I have no data to suggest people will buy these products. What would you suggest I do to test the need for these products? Should I purchase...

    Novelty Products

    Thanks for the response! So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that for me to license a novelty item, I would need to trademark the name of it? If this is what you are saying, I still don't see why the manufacturer wouldn't just use my idea and change the name a little bit to...

    Novelty Products

    In a thread with Stephen Key, he said this about a few of his products he licensed: "These were with the gift an novelty industry. I have talked about this before. Very short lived products. No protection. They are not inventions. This industry did not require patents." Now, because I have an...

    Lifehacked - Allen Wong's book

    BOOKS 
    Hey Allen, I'm interested in your book and its awesome of you to spend your time here answering people's questions. I have a question too: Did you code your apps yourself or did you outsource it to developers?

    One Simple Idea - Stephen Key

    IDEA 
    I have another question: If the potential licensee is not a United States company, do all the same rules of licensing/open innovation apply? Can I contact these foreign companies and show them my sell sheets? Will they potentially license my idea?

    One Simple Idea - Stephen Key

    IDEA 
    Thanks for the response Steven! I really appreciate you spending time here helping us. But to follow up on what you said about not needing a physical prototype, has there ever been a licensing deal that you/your students made where the licensee required a prototype? I ask this because if most...

    One Simple Idea - Stephen Key

    IDEA 
    Hey Stephen, I don't have any background in engineering or anything of that sort. I have an idea that I know can be made, but I just don't have the technical knowledge to do it. Do you or your students ever encounter this problem? If so, what do you do?

    Calling on Inventors For Help

    So if I did find a razor design, and it was patented by Gillette for example, if I used their design in my prototype, I would only have the option of licensing to Gillette, right?

    Calling on Inventors For Help

    I actually have read it once but I definitely need to read it again. Did he list a resource where I can find out the technical aspects ofproducts? I tend to not retain much on the first read-through of a book so I may have missed it.

    Calling on Inventors For Help

    Hey inventors, hopefully you guys can steer me in the right direction. I have an idea to improve upon shaving razors. I don't believe there is a razor out there that has this feature and it would fill a need. Although I know in a general sense what I want to happen, I need to know the exact...

    Can You Help Me Get Started?

    Thanks guys! You both have definitely given me stuff to think about. I have a few more questions now, if that's okay. s_sherrell: You say I need to "make a test ad for a dummy market to gauge commercial interest." Exactly how do I do this? Sorry if this seems like common knowledge to you...

    Can You Help Me Get Started?

    Hey guys, hopefully you can help me out. Mind you, I am a complete newbie at this stuff so please be patient with my ignorance. After reading The Millionaire Fastlane, I came up with an idea that I believe to be a fastlane business. It's almost exactly the same as MJ's canker sore idea (page...
