They say the average person get 4 "million dollar" ideas each year.
 

Yet, the average person is far from a millionaire.

I come up with an average of about 2 per month. Mostly mainstream products/services. Some online and others which are tangible inventions or concepts.

If there is anybody here who has he ability to assist with product development, patenting, and either marketing things directly or selling the patents, I'd love to hear from you.

Interesting statistic.

I guess I could maybe be lead to believe that statistic. Most of the ideas are probably laughed off, and most people don't have the power or will to ever make thos e ideas into a million dollar action though.

aaron m is 8x above averages.

I invented the snuggie.
and shamwow.

Yeah and i guess he gets also 4 milion $ ideas how to waste them :D

i can give you a patent attorney referral

Here's my million dollar idea for the day that everyone can participate in:

Everyone has to do it though for it to work.

OK ready? here it is:






























take down all your free pics and videos for 24 hours and I bet the sum total increase in sales will be more than 1 million





just 1 day wont hurt us will it?

Hey Even, I appreciate that and although I may take you up on the offer, what I really need is more of a project coordinator.

I think green would be better than red.

My ideas are top secret. :D

I think your math is off unless you are suggesting he underestimates himself. :upsidedow

Everybody has ideas what they lack is implementation. I think I got this from the guy who had/has men.com.

Sorry I butchered your name, Evan.

I've come up with some good ones myself, but from idea to conception to execution, it is very very hard to do.

First of all (in most cases) you need a lot of capital if you want to do something right. Even if you have a ton of your own traffic you can use for your new project (that will help) but you will need money for a lot of other things. If you dont have traffic you will need money to get exposure on it, create it (either programming, or manufacturing and distribution, packaging, etc... if it is a physical good), a staff, a *good* patent attorny alone will cost you 10K+... thats just a the tip of the iceberg . Sooo much more will go into it, including a TON of your time.

So unless you have a several hundred thousand of disposable income then you will need investors (venture capital). In today's market even if you truely have a unique kick ass million dollar idea 99.9% of people with large amounts of liquid money are not going to toss it on something very risky. Even if they did consider it, they would want to find something that is already making money that needs capital to expand to make more, not an idea, something that is purely speculative. They will want to know "who are you" and why should I give you 100's of thousands of dollars, what have you done, etc....

1000 people might come up with the exact million dollar idea, 800 of them wont even put it down on paper muchless try to persue it, 100 will do some research, look into it some. 50 might actually spend a few bucks and play with the idea. 49 will actual give it a try and fail miserably because they don't have the resources to execute it properly, and 1 person will follow it all the way through and make it successful.

(numbers made up by me for illustration purposes)

I love coming up with great ideas, but I fall into the 999 unfortunetly. In most cases you either need to be in the right place at the right time and know the right person and get that break. The friend who has a million dollars and likes your idea or you manage to bust your ass and start it on your own, make it take off to the point that you can get lucky and snag some venture capital money to really make it take off.

no.. you can get a provisional patent now cheap...

you dont have to spend the money until you know it will work...

Even better idea's than Yessignals? :upsidedow

"ability to assist with product development, patenting, and either marketing things directly or selling the patents, I'd love to hear from you."

That's why everyone isn't a millionaire. What you're asking above is the hardest part to it all - executing the idea properly.

I would like to think so but that's a tough mark to beat.

Obviously.

Option A: Say fuck it and make zero.

Option B: Find somebody to do what I know I will not and hopefully make something.

I know for a FACT I've had (and still have) quite a few million dollar ideas, but I lack the capital and or manpower to pull off any of them.

I've tried over the past few years to just say fuck it and do it all myself, but I always fall short due to one of the two things I listed above (sometimes both lol)

one day....

-Loki-

Trying to be ironic there ?

and then it will cost you 10K dollars or more... You not getting a "real" patent, not "patent pending" unless you shell out the bucks. Most people have no idea how much that will cost alone.

It really comes down to money. If you don't have the money you are looking for partners.

Either 1 big partner (venture capitalist) or a bunch of partners who are all going to bring something to the table (other than money) to do their "part". Good luck with a bunch of partners all trying to work together for free, to launch an idea. That turns out bad about 99.99% of the time. :Oh crap

This is the smartest thing I've ever read on this site.

If women ran the adult industry online, we would'nt give a single thing away for free. I'm still not sure why men feel they have to give out free samples to get sales. I say, no samples and make them pay for it.

All this free sample crap is what is killing this industry.

its bringing those ideas to fruition, is what seperates the men from the boys:winkwink:

Did the person that come up with that stat write a book and make 4 million on it?

I am sure I have come up with more than one big idea this year but I am just not great at figuring out how to make them happen.

all my ideas fail at begining

Most people have ten times as many ideas that would be more likely to actually lose money.

You need to have ideas, recognize the good ones, do market research, then implement them - few people get past step 1.

+1 :thumbsup

You know, I would like that and even more if it was done into my exercise bike so I could bike around city streets.

Rrrrrrrrr to bad i dont cashotu any

Nope, he had some great business sense. His threads always got me thinking. KRL was his name.

what he said spot on

I'd better start write my ideas down..

anyone can come up with million dollars ideas. its figuring out the technology to make them happen that is next to impossible for the average person.

KRL never had/has men.com. He just worked for one of the biggest domain guys on the planet.

The average person has 15 minutes of fame too. Unfortunately, guys like Richard Branson come up with 4 million dollar ideas every hour and the rest of us, none, ever. So, on average, 4 million dollar ideas per year.

Cool. Interesting.
