New Product Ideas & Invention Development Needs
|  |
I'm an entrepreneur at heart and in January 2009 I became proactive with two ideas I had. The first idea (which is working for me) was to generate revenue online writing content articles, blogs and free websites. The second idea was to get a product idea to the market but was clueless in the field of being a product inventor. My goal was to get my product idea on the market and then write about the product online to direct traffic to stores who sold my product. I'm a natural Internet Marketer and considered by many to be a expert in the field of Search Engine Optimization.
Before you go hire any company who claims they will do everything for you ask the company this question, is my product idea patentable? If you don't get a straight answer I suggest you not to move forward hiring them. Instead contact people who can answer your questions or connect you with people who have your best interest at heart. There are successful inventors who are more than willing to share their expertise with you to prevent you from getting burned.
OK, I'm not hear to tell you that the company did not do what they promised. I paid the company to guide me along, help me get a patent pending of my invention, create a prototype and did present the prototype to a couple of companies, so they claim. I was told the companies declined after they did their surveys and research. Again, this is what I was being told but I could not know for sure if the company ever presented my product to companies. Unless I contacted the companies myself how would I ever really know? Throughout the process of dealing with the company I hired, I did request two edits of my product. The first request was to edit a typo on the photo of actual prototype sample. I had to ask to fix the typo several times for the typo to be corrected. The second request was to tweak the product sample and was willing to pay for it. The company has told me several times that there is no need to tweak or change the prototype and will not change it. The licensing coordinator continues to tell me it's the concept they present and there is no need to change it. I had to take some kind of action to find out what I needed to do next.

Because of my negative experience hiring a company and paying top dollar (in my eyes) and still paying for it, I will continue to be proactive writing articles, blogs and websites warning and helping other wanna be inventors not to make the same mistakes I've made. I'm here to help you realize you can do many of the steps yourself and where to go for guidance/direction and who to contact to get the ball rolling with your new product idea. I'm also here to tell you that you can get guidance and help for free or on the cheap. You don't need to pay a huge price while moving forward with your goals and dreams. Take my advice to heart because there are many people who have been burned just like me and are very bitter and angry. I was bitter at first but I decided to take a bad experience and turn it around to be a positive experience. I will continue to be proactive writing about my experience online to guide and help others not make the same mistakes I did.
