Your uniqueness is your magic this was a dialogue in a movie which I have seen long back and I made it my ideology.
Recently I met an author on Twitter who said to stop comparing yourself with others, you are unique.
Which again reminded me of my ideology to be unique.
It is very hard to remain out of the crowd in the age of the universal market, it is not necessary also to be in quarantine to show your uniqueness-- hahaha
This Holi I saw a unique product to fill the balloons in a few seconds made me think that invention is not just what Thomas Edison or Alexender Fleming has done but this product for Holi is also an invention.
You don't need to become Thomas Edison but your unique ideas can make you an inventor.
Of course, to make money online & get success is all about doing business.
But all too often you’re selling the same stuff like the store down the street or what’s found on dozens of websites across the internet.
One way to stand apart from the competition is to sell unique products.
These can be hard to find since so many retail businesses source from the same places.
To really stand out, why not create your own exclusive products?
Yes, you can become an inventor. Here’s how:
1. Identify a niche
The best place to start is figuring out what the market needs.
Don’t waste time and money creating a product you think consumers will love, only to find out later they really don’t.
Start by reviewing your best-selling products. Then check your results against industry trends.
Is there something you can create—an offshoot—that no one else is selling?
For example, let’s say you sell fashion accessories and one of your best-selling products is cross-body handbags.
After talking to your customers you learn women like them because they can be hands-free.
Think of other products you could create that have the same effect, like fanny packs.
2. Don’t reinvent the wheel
You don’t have to create an entirely new product.
The truth is, only a small number of “inventions” are something completely new that’s never existed before; most new product launches are improvements or add-ons to something that already exists.
You can expand your customer base by creating a lower-priced (or more expensive) version of any product.
3. Do market research
Expand your initial research and ascertain whether there really is a market demand for your new product.
Make sure it doesn’t already exist in the market. Learn more by surveying your customer base.
Also, check into secondary research sources, like Census Bureau data, information from the Commerce Department, and industry trade magazines and websites.
Go online and search for products that resemble what you’ve come up with.
Go to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) website and do a patent search (it’s free) to see if anyone else has already invented and patented your idea.
4. Protect your business idea
Depending on what you’ve invented, you may need a design patent, a utility patent, or a copyright.
A copyright protects artistic expression such as a graphic pattern or design on a clothing or home décor item.
A design patent protects a new, nonobvious ornamental design of products, and is mostly used for designs that are a slight variation or improvement on an existing product.
A utility patent protects the functionality of an invention. You can find out if your concept is patentable by going to the USPTO site.
It’s smart business to hire an attorney who knows patents to make sure you’re protecting your idea and not inadvertently stealing someone else’s work.
5. Take notes
Take notes to document the process from step one.
I also recommend reading other pages on this site to understand how to promote on social media, how to create your website, and how to do the marketing of the products.
Just in case you end up patenting your idea, you should document your idea generation and product development process.
You’ll need a bound notebook with numbered pages that can’t be removed (meaning they’re not perforated).
Computer entries will not work in this case.
Write down your idea and everything you do to bring it to life.
Date each page and keep it in a safe place.
SUM UP
Unique ideas are not been given by someone it comes from your own brain. Utilise it, make an invention, promote it(on social media), sell it(on Amazon or your own website) and make money online.I also recommend reading other pages on this site to understand how to promote on social media, how to create your website, and how to do the marketing of the products.
