How to make Money from Your IDEAS and Inventions

Step 2Invent a product

This can sometimes be the shortest and simplest part of product design, often though it will take a long time for the idea to come about. Simply look for everyday problems around you, brainstorm simple solutions to these problems. Usually you should discard solutions that are outside of your field of expertise and focus on the most likely solutions. If your really into it you can create a gant chart to analyze the best solutions.
For example, My product, the Hard drive zapper was a solution to the problem of getting scrap computers for my company. Businesses and schools refused to sell me obsolete computers without some type of data security. I put together the Hard Drive Zapper as a simple cheap and relatively secure solution. Although it is not as secure as a several other data destruction methods, it is secure enough for the average homeowner who just wants some peace of mind while disposing of a computer. i have made this fact clear to all of my customers.
