										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 14px;"><strong>The Value of Becoming a Product Scout</strong></span></h4>
<p>Become a better TV Product Inventor by earning $27,500, as product scout.    We’re looking for items in limited distribution already in the public domain.  Many inventors get patents, prototypes and manufacture a garage full of items they never end up selling.    They find out the hard way how expensive building consumer awareness for a product is.    People can’t buy, what they don’t know exists.</p>
<p>Often, they do gain early stage success in limited distribution channels such as online drop shipper retail outlets, catalogs, small specialty retailers and others.    As sales rise, the need for cash to fund growth becomes more and more important.   In addition, the market begins to squeeze profits with wholesale buyers negotiating greater discounts and retail consumers looking for lower prices.    With small success, the demand for quality control, accounting, customer service, order fulfillment and of course, marketing also rises and many of these start up entrepreneurs end up feeling overwhelmed with what seemed like a success.</p>
<p>They just didn’t connect to or maybe wouldn’t let go enough to get the help they needed for their product to really add value to mass market consumers and result in a financial success.</p>
<p>These entrap ensures end up limping along with a warehouse or garage full of inventory that they can’t sell fast enough.    That’s where you can really help, as a product scout because you connect them to the resources and infrastructure needed to move millions of units of product, in a very short time.</p>
<p>If you’re an inventor, you’ll find that the quality of your own TV items will improve significantly because you’ll learn to overcome rejection fast, keeping your mind free to expand creative energy to the concepts that have the greatest potential to succeed.</p>

<h4><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 14px;">Where to Look for Products?</span></strong></h4>
<p>The internet is vast with many great new products buried on page 148 of Google.      YouTube is filled with new product reviews and video demonstrations by inventors.      The emerging social network craze make connecting to people, products and groups easier than ever.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a great time to be an inventor and to help others learn to invent tv products.    I&#8217;ve been in the inventor community for more then 12 years, launching my own products and building the Inventor Center of KC.</p>
<p>The opportunity available to inventors now, through TV distribution, is the fastest, least expensive way to earn money on a product innovation.</p>
<p>You should mention this opportunity to your friends and family.  It’s amazing how many good ideas are out there, but often, people just don’t know where to start.  You do.  Very powerful.</p>
<p>Someone you know may have the winning invention.   You can help them and earn money yourself, in several ways:</p>
<p><strong>1)      As joint inventor</strong>.  If their concept needs work that you add value to, agree to be joint inventors and split royalties 50/50%.</p>
<p><strong>2)      As a licensing agent.</strong>   You earn 25% of their royalties for connecting them to me and my partners.    It&#8217;s fair, they wouldn&#8217;t find me with out you.</p>
<p><strong>3)      As a product scout.</strong>   You earn ¼ % royalty when you find market ready products, already selling in limited distribution.    What a blessing you can be to an inventor that&#8217;s taken their product into early stage sales.</p>

<p>As with any invention, it&#8217;s all about strategy, timing and connections.   <span style="color: #ff0000;">If you have a product that meets the narrow criteria of As Seen On TV, DO NOT post it on one of the following crowdfunding sites.</span>   Show it to me first.</p>
<p>When it comes to putting your dreams or your startup plans into motion, it’s important to know which things to do in the correct sequence.   I see so many inventors run directly to a prototype or patent attorney before testing the market viability of their ideas.</p>
<p>The rise of crowdfunding, like most things, has pro’s and cons that must be evaluated.</p>
<p>If crowdfunding is the way to go for your project, choosing the right crowdfunding site is definitely a crucial step.</p>
<p>Watch out for fees and consider the rewards, perks and benefits for each site. Be realistic in your funding goals and be prepared to really market the opportunity yourself.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, you are putting yourself out there, convincing people to part with their money to help fund your thoughts, concepts and ideas.   Many projects don’t get funded.</p>
<p>Becoming an ASOTV product scout and searching crowdfunding sites to find great new ASOTV products is a lot of fun and interesting work.   The internet is a vast source of great new products that one person could never review in a lifetime.    I encourage you to search these sites, looking for products that meet the 7 Criteria of successful products and submitting links directly to me.   Happy searching.</p>
