Reality Radio - The Hook Up

Recently, a member of the StartupNation Community reached out for some specific help to turn his dream idea into reality. It was StartupNation “Hook Up” time!

George, an inventor, called into StartupNation Radio in February seeking assistance to locate a manufacturer for his Floodlight Adapter Bulb. We challenged the StartupNation community to help us find a “Hook Up”. After sorting through numerous emails from entrepreneurs who were interested in helping out George, we identified a manufacturer. In just a few short weeks, George came back on the show to be “Hooked Up” with Ron Jacobs from IMI International.

If you are considering getting your invention or product manufactured, listen to the show and learn from George and Ron’s Hook Up.

Points and questions to consider before approaching a manufacturer:

  • Don’t rush the product to market.
  • Do you have a final design with prints and specifications?
  • Do you have a prototype? How many prototypes are in the field?
  • Conduct your market research to develop a product at a cost-point that correlates with a price-point that will sell.
  • What’s your experience and confidence level that this new product is going to work?
  • Do you have the capital to proceed with design, engineering, prototypes, tooling and production?
  • Determine the method for financing the manufacturing process.

A big thank you to the StartupNation community – you made this Hook Up happen!

You need to do both offsite and onpage seo.  The best optimization in the world won`t help if no body is linking to your site.  Even if its a niche site, a few links from a few quality portals or directories will help get it to start ranking.

traffic speaks...this is what makes you a good SEO or a crappy SEO...does your opinion/strategy result in targeted traffic? I agree with offsite SEO...very powerful. But also agree with the above statement...if your optimizing until the cows come home...and no traffic...your FIRED!

I disagree partially.... If you SEO your site till the cows come home and you are getting no traffic, you aren`t very good at SEO. Either that, or you still have something wrong with your site. I feel that if your content, offerings, SEO, and markets all align, the traffic will come. Now if you are trying to SEO your new website to appear on the top for the google search "cars", you can hang it up. Target a term, not a word is my theory. Just my 1.5 cents.
