Auto news on Youtube Nov 14 2018

so I want to talk about a subject that it's going to come up when it comes to

inventing and that is money where are you going to get the money to fund your

product and notice I didn't say to fund your idea because remember ideas have no

value what we're looking to do is turn our idea into a reality

and that's gonna cost money interestingly enough even after all

these videos I've been making somebody asked me in the comments why they

couldn't just take their 3d model show it to people and get money now maybe he

hasn't been paying attention to the way the real world works here in the real

world nobody's gonna pay you anything for a 3d model or even a prototype and I

think that's where people get a little bit confused remember when you're

talking about your invention you're actually talking about making people

believe in you they're not really investing in your idea or your product

they're investing in your ability to follow through and I think a lot of

people miss this point they get so wrapped up in their idea that they think

people are just gonna hand them money because hey maybe it will change the

world but guess what people still aren't going

to invest because they need to know that if they give you their hard-earned money

that you're gonna follow through and be able to sell the product to return their

investment sometimes inventors don't want to hear it affect that if you're

gonna take money from people you're gonna have to figure out how to pay them

back it doesn't matter if it's a loan or an investment in your company an idea

you still have to have a plan to pay them back or you're never going to get

any investors now this video is going to be talking about a couple of things

there's many different ways to get investors one is to sell finance which

is the way I always recommend it because in the past I have gotten large

investments for some of my business and my product ideas and it doesn't

always go as planned it doesn't even mean that your products

going to fail and things are gonna go wrong that way your product could be a

huge success and you still run the risk of investors getting greedy as they see

you trying to grow your company because you got to think of it this way you're

passionate about taking all the money you're making and growing the company

hiring more employees building an infrastructure whatever it takes to

build up your business but investors might only be interested in the cash

that they gave you and getting a profit for that investment so you're gonna have

to weigh both things are you going to grow the company or are you going to

keep your investors happy and that's why for me I've learned I honestly just sell

finance now it's easy for me to say because I've been doing this long enough

we're investing in products is sort of built in to my business model but when

you're first starting out I know that can be a problem but keep this in mind

and I've talked about this in previous videos I really don't want you to spend

more than you can afford to create your first product it's a

learning experience you should be out there defining markets and finding

simple products that you can build and sell on the Internet

I've done it so can you I've made expensive products and I've made cheap

products it just depends on the market and what I feel like doing at the time

but for you guys starting out I want you to stay below that maybe $5,000

investment maybe 2,500 and I'm not kidding you can do it and you can make a

lot of money with just a few thousand dollar investment now knowing the

demographics of this channel I know that even twenty five hundred may be a lot of

money but the next time you're thinking of buying a Playstation or a new video

game think about putting that money aside and holding off and using it for

your invention idea because really you're going to need 3d prints for your

prototype you're going to need all kinds of other pieces along the way that

you're not going to be able to get for free you're gonna have to pay for them

somehow so back to this issue of why can't I just make it through

Reidy model and show it to people and get money well because you don't have a

business plan and that's why nobody's gonna give you money it's not the 3d

model that's a problem it's the implementation of your idea and the plan

to start selling it that is what's going to attract investors that's when you're

gonna start believing in you they're not gonna believe in you if all you have is

a 3d model so you could talk about it and show how enthusiastic you are you

know with the idea and how great of an idea is and how it's gonna just be in

every household none of that matters because if you don't have a plan to get

it in front of all the people that are potential customers how do you think

you're going to sell it how do you think the investors are going to get their

money back you need a plan so there's a couple of ways like I said self

financing would be the first which is the one I recommend but then there may

be people out there to have a product that's a little more expensive now

unless you have been machining and designing electronics and building molds

and all that stuff which I'm sure there's some people out there they have

those skills already I don't recommend this next level because you have to have

a lot of experience behind you as a product designer there are just so many

different steps so many different materials so many different processes

equipment fulfillment issues it just goes on and on and on that you need to

learn when you get to this next higher level and if you've never even made a

hundred products and shipped them from your house you're not gonna know how all

this stuff works and you're gonna be risking a lot more money but if you're

at that point where maybe your investment is 75 100 150 thousand

dollars to get started because maybe it's an electronic circuit board it

needs injection molds for the cases the boxes it's a retail product so maybe it

has to be packaged like you know Apple products and all the other electronic

stuff today and that can all get very expensive so yes it's very easy to get

up to 150 200 250 thousand in the beginning if this is your first

one I would try to stay less than 75 but it depends on what your tolerance level

is so how are you gonna raise this money if you don't have it yourself you can

sell finance and use a credit card but that can get really expensive you'll

actually have to use a couple credit cards if we're talking over seventy five

thousand dollars you could get a second out on your mortgage the again these are

things that I really don't recommend if you've never done this before because

this is where it gets risky and there's no guarantee that you're going to

succeed I could make about ten videos on all my failures so just keep that in

mind there's another couple of things you can do here one would be called a

family and friends round there's a really good video here on YouTube about

the founder of Alibaba and he needed $50,000 to start and what he did it he

got 13 family and friends to make small investments of a few thousand dollars

each now he was in China which I imagine it means that he got labour cheap

because he then took that $50,000 and ran a business for a year before he was

able to even get his first customer nobody believed in the idea and as we

all know they just had their largest day where they made something like what was

it a billion dollars in eight minutes or something and the day turned out to be

thirty billion dollars just because people don't believe in your idea we all

know that shouldn't stop you because nobody knows better than you what the

path to success is and you can do it but family and friends would be the second

round and that's probably the safest bet if you get small investments from a few

people that way if it's only a few thousand dollars each you you're not

gonna really upset anybody especially if you try and keep them informed along the

way now at this level too you can talk about crowdfunding Kickstarter and

IndieGoGo but a word of warning with this which I don't mention in the other

videos those websites have become sort of saturated and they really don't

attract the interest from news and other places to generate enough

traffic for you so if you're going to do one of those projects on Kickstarter or

other crowdfunding sites you're gonna need your own marketing campaign and

trust me there are so many scammers out there trying to take money from you you

could wind up giving away or throwing away all your money before you even

start your project and then when the project is a success you may not have

anything left because of all your advertising money that was spent so be

careful even with Kickstarter and other crowdfunding sites it can be risky

nowadays gone are the days where you put something up there and it just goes

viral you need a huge following that's one of the reasons I don't do it anymore

honestly I can do my own promotions and it's not worth the hassle

the Kickstarter crowd is not the crowd it used to be either they're not as

willing to work with you and be nice to you if you take longer because they

think it's like Amazon where the product should be there within a week but it is

a good Avenue if you're willing to put into time and work hard at it but it's

not your only option the last and final way to raise money would be called

venture capital now I could tell you that I tried this in the beginning and I

even had working prototypes and was ready to go I met with a few venture

capital companies and few investment banks things like that

they offered me two million dollars for my original track stick for 80% of the

company now keep in mind I had already built and designed the product had the

working software the molds were almost completed and we were ready to go for

sales and they wanted me to give up 80% of my company

now for some of you that may be an option if you have a product that

requires a really large infrastructure and a growth potential of millions and

millions of dollars it may be worth your while but I will

tell you that you're going to need people that are experienced at raising

venture capital and you're going to have to have what

an exit strategy which means you're gonna have to be prepared to have your

company sold and lose control of everything

and that also means that if you don't perform there's a very good chance that

you won't even be running your company in a very short time so when you give up

80% of your company to other people you give up pretty much all control and you

spend your days fighting with boards and other employees such as CFOs and you may

not even be the CEO at that point so you'll be fighting with him or her or

whoever else is in charge of you and your boss another thing I might add

about my opinion of venture capital yes there have been a few product companies

that have been bought out by large corporations publicly trade at Facebook

Apple and all that but that is a game that those companies play they are not

really product companies and while you are able to make millions of dollars if

everything works out ok I'm not sure it's worth the stress if you're just

looking to invent a product you may want to set your sights up much lower in the

beginning because for a small investment you could find yourself making millions

of dollars without all the added headache so this is something to think

about when you're looking for investors you're looking for venture capital

family and friends self-financing these are all the options that are available

to you some of them will get you started right away and some of them could take

you years to pursue so that's another issue if your product is a technology

product that has a short run lifespan venture capital and that long tail

strategy may not be good for you because the product could be obsolete before you

ever make any money I hope you take these options seriously and decide what

the best path is for you if you're not sure what the best path is you may want

to talk to your accountant and see what he suggests the funny thing is here my

accountant regret it for a long time that she wasn't the one

invested in my first big product when I was talking to her about venture capital

so you'd be surprised who was really interested in what you do

How to Get Rid of Drain Flies - Drain Fly Kit with Drain Gel | DoMyOwn.com - Duration: 2:55.

Small flies lingering around your kitchen sink and bathroom drains are likely drain

flies.

Drain flies breed in the organic matter that builds up in drains, then fly into rooms as

adults, often in kitchens and bathrooms.

DoMyOwn has created a drain fly kit to help you combat the presence of these tiny flies

and control the organic debris they breed in.

By combining a drain gel, an aerosol insecticide space spray, and glue boards into one easy

to use kit, you will get rid of drain flies and be able get the problem under control.

The aerosol insecticide space spray will knockdown adult drain flies around a room.

Before you use the space spray, close all doors and windows in the room, store food,

utensils, and pet bowls in air tight containers, preferably out of the room, and remove all

pets and children from the room.

Then, remove the cap off the can, spray the aerosol in the middle of the room for 2-3

seconds per 1,000 cubic feet, and leave the room.

Allow the spray to settle at least 15 minutes before re-entering the room.

You should see dead drain flies upon re-entry.

Open doors and windows in the room and sweep dead drain flies into the trash.

Read the label on your aerosol to determine how long the product should be sprayed and

how long you should wait before you re-enter the room.

If you have drain flies in your kitchen, they are most likely coming from the kitchen sink

drain.

Sinks with two drains may have drain flies in one drain or both.

To determine which drain the flies are emerging from, place a glue board over both drains

overnight.

In the morning, check both glue boards to determine which drain has flies.

Treat only the drains with evidence of flies.

When using the glue boards, bend the boards slightly to create a small tent over the drain.

This will prevent the boards from sticking to sink.

You can reuse glue boards night after night, just be sure to circle any flies caught on

previous nights with a marker.

This will help you see if there is a reduction in flies over time.

To treat a drain for drain flies, wait until everyone in the household is done using the

kitchen for the night, then clean and dry your sink to remove any water or food crumbs.

Pour drain fly gel down the sink, using the amount recommended on the label of your gel.

Make sure you coat the sides of the drain well and run the garbage disposal for a few

seconds while pouring the gel if you have one.

Do not run water or rinse the sink after pouring in the gel until the next morning.

Leave the gel overnight, then use your sink as normal the next day.

Use glue boards over the drain to catch drain flies escaping the drain at night.

Repeat the gel treatments nightly for as long as it takes to get rid of the flies, usually

at least a week.

If drain flies have been spotted in the bathroom, perform the same nightly treatment in the

drain of the bathroom sink or tub, using a glue board to monitor the progression of the

treatment.

Once your drain fly problem has been resolved, use the gel once a month as a maintenance

treatment.

This is also smart idea for restaurants and commercial buildings where organic matter

builds inside drains fast.

And it's that easy with the expert help from DoMyOwn dot com.
