launch your Invention IDEA for under $100

So many people have a EUREKA moment and think “Holy Sh**! I have the next million dollar idea!” Then they quickly research the process of inventing and become overwhelmed at all the ways they *might* need to spend money to make it to market. Unfortunately, this fear stops many people dead in their tracks.

Don’t you be one of them! If you truly believe you have a great idea, you owe it to yourself to take the first (low cost) steps to find out.  I’m going to walk you through the basics so you have a clear understanding of what to do, and when to do it, and the beauty is, your out of pocket costs will likely be under $100 dollars.

First, lets confront some Common myths:

You can protect your idea by mailing it to yourself (in an actual envelope) - NO.

You’ll need to pony up the dough for an expensive patent attorney to file a patent - NO.

My invention is a million dollar idea! Certainty ideas some are, and some might be only $50,000 dollar ideas, or anywhere else on the spectrum. It’s important to know the size of your potential market and be realistic.

My only option is a licensing deal with a big company- NO.  

When I started manufacturing my first product (in the hardware industry), I had very little savings. I had a degree in fine art, and I had made a living as a professional drummer (for the rock band London), so basically, I had very little knowledge of business. I tried to license my idea, and was rejected again and again. It never occurred to me that starting my own company to manufacture my own idea, was an option.  Thankfully, I found an AMAZING mentor in the manufacturing field who inspired me, and saved me from making a lot of costly mistakes.

This tape measure line has a built-in marking device. It never needssharpening, can’t break, and makes 2000+ marks per load - comes with 10 reloads and a marking keychain that holds the refills.

He proves that action-by-action steps can get even the newest of inventors to sidestep overwhelm and self-doubt, and instead move closer to living the passion enriched life of a profitable inventor.

Black or Red QuickDraw - what's the difference?

The new QUICKDRAW PRO is the ultimate tape.  It has the following improvements and features over the QUICKDRAW (black) DIY model:  

1.  A new break lock that captures the blade (top and bottom) with rubber grips, and the break button is co-molded with soft rubber, guaranteed to lock the blade solid.  

2. A new patented spool system for the smoothest blade action of any tape on the market.

3. A new (patent pending) wedge Tru-View indicator that insures even greater accuracy than our original (patent pending Tru-View indicator).      

4.  An improved marking system for easer reloads and more consistent marking. 5. A new extra heavy-duty chrome belt clip.

6. Upgraded star-drive fasteners that secure the tape housing.

7. An injection molded screen printed logo on the front (no cheap stick on labels for the QUICKDRAW PRO.  

8. A QUICKDRAW key chain for holding extra graphite, and it also has the QUICKDRAW marker built-in (optional).

9. A nylon safety strap (optional, for working in high places).

10. New blade layouts (optional: Imperial 25’ &16”, Metric 8M &5M, EZ-READ 25’ &16’, Imperial/Metric 26’/8M, 16’/5M.

Wallpaper is a simple task, if you have one of these... www.quickdrawtapes.com

So, you're about to hang a picture, or some shelves, or in this case, a wallpaper mural. First step is laying out the measuring and that requires a measuring tape, a pencil, and something to keep the pencil sharp, except not today, because today, we're using a self-marking tape measure with a built-in marking device, because it's so much easier. 

The first step requires measuring the wall space which is 14' wide by 8.8' high vs the size of the mural, which in this case 12' wide by 8" high. Plus, to make it tricky, the wall is in an old building and the ceiling is 1.5" out of level from the left to the right side.  The solution is to burn 1.5" at the starting point on the left side, so we can keep the panels plum  (meaning vertical, and not crooked). So we mark the bottom location of the first panel so that we can trim 1.5" off the top after the panel in up, to match the ceiling moulding line, and we're centering the mural to the wall so there'll be approximately 1 foot of painted wall showing on each side.  

Next, roll the wallpaper glue onto the wall (clean washed wall) and make sure the glue extends beyond your marks, about an inch. The glue is water soluble, so cleanup is easy.  Sponge down the front of the panel with a wet cloth or sponge and use a credit card and a brush to smooth it out. 

If you look closely, you'll see the overlap of the panel on the molding above. You'll need a sharp razor knife to trim it, and if the knife is not sharp enough, it can easily tear the paper, so you might want to invest in new blades for your knife. 

Now, put up the first lower panel from the middle out, as this will give you the ability to make adjustments as you match the remaining panels.  

Piece of cake, because the layout was correct. 

A little about marking tape measures - If you have never used a self-marking tape, and you do a lot of home projects, you defiantly want to get one. They are simply the best tape measure ever invented. It marks on the roughest of materials, and even marks on wet surfaces. The patented built in marking device allows you to lay down a pencil line right where you want it, but there’s no pencil to sharpen, or break. A small steel wheel transfers graphite to the surface you’re marking. So easy, quick, and most importantly, accurate. Makes every job easier, and you’re never wasting time looking for a pencil!Get your's now at:
