2. Where is the market and who are the customers?
To earn money on your invention, you must first check the market. You need to assess whether there is a need for the product and whether it has a good chance in competition with others.
Think about:
- Is the technology forward-looking, so that it is viable in a few years time?
- What is the market willing to pay for the product?
- Which markets are you going to invest in, where are you going to produce your product and how do you intend to distribute it?
- How are you going to make the product known in the market and who are your competitors?
- What are the benefits of your product compared to your competitors'?
- Should you go alone or do you need partners?
There are many questions to consider, and you need to develop a strategy to work structured and targeted.
