As a teen me and my fiends would often think up ideas for products, and a few months later they would be in stores. It drove us crazy, that we weren't able to get our ideas out of our heads and onto store shelves.
If you have an idea for a product that you think could work, try it out.It's one of thefew opportunities in the world where you can risk very little yet take your finances to a new level. And the cool thing about inventing is that anybody can do it. Seriously. All it takes is an idea. Walk into any store and what you see are products that began as just ideas. Ideas are both priceless and worthless at the same time. All great things began as great ideas, but a great idea is just a starting point. The real secret is action-what you do with the idea. Learn what you need to do to transform your invention from an idea to a money maker.
Below are some of the crazy inventions that have made peoplelike you and mea lot of money:
The Pet Rock- Can you believe that somebody put eyes on a rock and then gave it a home?
The Snuggie- Okay so it's your blanket all wrapped up so that you look like the insides of a meat wrap at Jack in the Box. They come in all colors and sizes and someone made millions on this blanket. Why?
Shamwow- That is a perfect name for a scam-Sham. Wow, be tricked the public in buying a piece of material that soaks up liquids. Don't all materials soak up liquids? Consumer Reports says that its soaking properties up our money and not much else.
Sea Monkeys- What bad thing can you say about these wonderful little pieces of dirt like objects that you stick in water and come alive. You were creating life from nothing. Mary Shelley would love this idea.
Mood Rings- What a way to screw up an evening. All you had to do was stick on this ring and it was like a bad fortune cookie. Your night was ruined and your date went home. Yeah, great invention! It should have been called Mood Swings.
Gigapets or Tomagachi- That was the worst idea of them all. You went to school where it was banned. Your mom had to babysit, feed it, and walk it while you were at school.
Happy Face- Yes, how could we forget that smile that sold millions. Did we really think that this shirt could put us in a good mood? Forrest Gump did.
Pokemon Cards- There are kids out there somewhere who have thousands of cards still stashed in their drawers. I bet you can still name them.
Beanie Babies- The world is filled with stuffed animals. So why did we idolize these little animals who had to have the perfect Ty tag. Your mom would buy them and not let you touch them-what a perfect gift for our children!
10. Chia Pet- This is my personal favorite. I have always wanted the Scooby Doo version. What a great concept.
