Idea to Market in 5 Months: Making the Glif - The Russians Used a Pencil
worth reading for lots of facts, links, ideas, and well-laid-out flow
from idea to income.
Summary from the post:
"On July 11th, 2010, Tom Gerhardt and I had an idea for an iPhone
accessory: a tripod mount that doubled as a stand. Five months later,
customers began to receive our product, the Glif, in the mail. This
turnaround, from idea to market in five months by two guys with no
retail or manufacturing experience, signifies a shift in the way
products are made and sold — a shift only made possible in the last
couple years.
"The best compliment anyone could give us about the Glif project is
that it inspired them to take their creative idea to fruition. The
purpose of this piece is two-fold: to give an inside look at our
creative process, and to offer guidance and inspiration for those who
have their own ideas they’d like to see brought to reality..."
Buckle up...
