From Prototype to National Television:
How to Take Your Product Idea to Market and Get Recognition
Most inventors have a great idea but struggle with how to actually manufacture it, scale it, or get it in front of the right eyes. I’ve done all three by taking my invention, the Fortune Spinner, from a Cincinnati basement all the way to prime-time national TV on ABC's The Toy Box. 🎥
Get There Faster By Avoiding Amateur Mistakes
- You don't know who to trust to help you 🤥
- You believe you have to do everything yourself
- You think perfection at every step is required
- You waste precious time by waiting to take action ⏳
Collaboration is Crucial
My son told me about the new thing that kids were going crazy for. Fidget spinners were hard to find and we started making them! We sold them as fast as I could 3D print them in the basement. We got so busy that I hired someone at a local makerspace to help produce them.
Then, some grumpy person quipped: What else can this thing do? Can it be a game? Instead of being insulted, it energized me to think of a way to make it more fun. That's how we ended up making it a twist on the "Magic 8-Ball" 🎱 toy. We put answer words (yes, no, maybe) so that you ask your question, spin it and stop it on the answer.
Listening to that grumpy person got me on TV. That little innovation attracted a casting agency who saw my project on Kickstarter. I took a leap of faith and clicked on their spammy-looking email, and after 6 grueling interviews, I was on a plane to California to film the show.
