Opis

This book is a transcription of an interview I did with an expert on prototyping and mass manufacturing.

And he reveals what he has learned in his past ten years of taking ideas from paper...to prototype...to mass manufacturing...to selling millions of units per month.

It doesn't matter if you've never built a thing in your life...the secrets shared here will work for all different kinds of inventions.

The purpose of this interview is to help show you how to create your idea - either one prototype or one million manufactured end products - as quick and as cheap as humanly possible.

You'll discover:

The pros and cons of manufacturing in the U.S. versus China.

The difference between designing a prototype and designing an end product

5 ways to use a prototype (and why it's better if the first one is NOT perfect)

How much you can expect to spend on mass manufacturing and the #1 rule to reducing costs

How long most big manufacturers spend on prototyping

What Mark Smith learned about manufacturing in Asia after multiple trips there (when you should consider manufacturing in China)

The step-by-step process from going to idea to end product (and why the first step IS NOT making the thing or protecting it with a patent)

How to determine if someone is qualified to build your idea (and what you must ask for FIRST before you hire them to build it)

How to keep your idea secret while hiring someone to build it for you

An easy rule of thumb for marking up your product to ensure you make a profit
