How to Invent a Product?

Are you convinced that you can create an incredibly popular product that can change people's lives? Do not wait! Follow these simple steps to realize your invention and promote it on the market.

Throw down some ideas.

The first step in creating a truly unique and useful product is to put all your ideas on the table. Consider your area of expertise - what are you most interested in and what do you know best? To invent something from scratch to a finished product, you will not be able to operate outside your area of expertise. If not, you may have a good idea but not be able to turn it into reality.

For each activity or object that interests you, create a sub-list of possible improvements that you could implement in the form of an invention. You can include variations of the product or activity or useful additions.

Create an abundant list. It's better to have too many ideas than too few, so keep stretching the list until you can think of nothing else.

Always keep a diary with you, to constantly add new items to your list of possible inventions. Keeping all the invention ideas organized in a single notebook will also help you get clearer ideas and review your insights later. Do not be in a hurry at this stage of the process. Inspiration may not come right away, and it may take weeks or months before you get the winning idea.

Choose an idea.

When you have spent some time considering all the possible options, choose the best invention that you have devised. Now you will have to go to the evaluation of the details of the project. Draw some proofs of the prototype of your invention, and then consider some important issues.

What could you add to improve your product? What is it that makes your invention so special that people are conquered? Why is your invention so exceptional?

Think about the changes you could make. Which parts of your invention are superfluous or not needed? Is there a way to make it more efficient or cheaper?

Consider all aspects of your invention, including required parts, and the most important details of how it works or what it does. Keep these answers and these ideas in your diary so you can review them later.

Research your invention.

When you feel confident about your idea and have made all the necessary changes, research it to make sure it is truly unique. If you have already patented a product like yours, you will not be able to produce it in series and you will not be able to patent it in turn. Search online for new brands that describe your invention. If you've already thought about the name of your creation, look for it too, to make sure it's not already in use.

Visit the stores that offer products similar to your invention. Look for products similar to yours on the shelves, and ask the shop assistants if they have such products for sale. Visit a local Patent Office. Here, you can search through patents to search for inventions like yours. Request a professional patent search to verify that there is not really an invention similar to yours on the market.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
