Anthony M asked:


My friend and I have an idea for a product. It’s similar in complexity to a fancy alarm clock. However, we don’t have much experience in electronics and none in business or manufacturing.

We are obtaining some items to start a prototype. We could probably learn basic electronics and my buddy is a computer science major and he thinks he can handle the code, but we aren’t even sure what kind of logic chip and programming board to use.

The custom casing is also one of the biggest challenges as tooling can be expensive. However with the internet and how common and cheap CNC has become we think there should be something out there for us somewhere.

I’ve heard of some people who are selling simple analog electronic devices for guitar effects making contact with contract manufacturer’s and having them do all the work. Those aren’t a huge selling item, more of a cottage industry which is where our product fits, so these contracts can’t require an inordinant amount of cash outlay.
Problem is we don’t know where to go to start this kind of relationship.

We don’t know how much we should attempt to do ourselves or if we really should be looking to pay for someone to develop this product.

We are extremely motivated to get this off the ground, but we feel like we need to make some connections and network with some people who can point us in the right directions.

Can anyone mentor us a bit?

Or point us in the right direction as to who we should be contacting?

San Jose, California – Viddu Inc offers traditional price comparison integrated with Amazon User reviews, deals on the web. Viddu adds a social aspect to this by enabling friends and community to share recommendations.

 

Why Viddu and why another shopping site?

 

Viddu was started to solve a very specific problem, a problem that we kept encountering over and over again in different forms. It started with our baby shopping last year. My wife and I started collecting the different items that we needed to buy and keep them ready by the time the baby was born. It was great that we were planning ahead but then started the trouble, the list consisted of 100 items. We started researching different options for each of the major items like cribs, strollers, car seats, playards, baby monitors…First we had to find what features to look for, then we had to sort out the brands, read reviews from amazon.com, babycenter.com, consumer reports and then we had to run around to see if local stores offered any good deals and also research the online stores to see whats the best deal out there. After months of doing this, we ended up with a spreadsheet of the major items, the options and the decision. Then it hit us, wouldn’t it be nice if we could have just asked our friends to see what they went through and what they ended up with? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could share our experiences with friends? Wouldn’t it be nice if we can do this at the same place where we shop? Wouldn’t it be nice to see deals in the same place where we see store offers? One cannot do this with any of the existing shopping solutions but you can do these at Viddu.com.

Viddu is the place for to share product experiences, ask recommendations, discover great deals and read Amazon online product reviews. We offer you the huge range of online products with best quality. Just visit to our site and get the complete solution of your social shopping.

There is considerable interest in all consumer electronics that are used for entertainment purposes. Many of these electronic devices are small enough to carry in a shirt pocket and can be easily powered by batteries. The MP3 players are favorites in the consumer electronics field because people like having music to entertain themselves with no matter where they are or what they are doing.

Some portable consumer electronics like MP3 players have enough storage capacity to allow a person to listen to music for hours without hearing the same music selection twice. People are always looking for the lowest prices in MP3 players and people generally find low prices on them through retail outlets that have set up business using the internet framework as a business address.

Other entertaining consumer electronics are made for providing entertainment to people in an motor vehicle. There are many car audio consumer electronic selections in all types of stores throughout the world. Some of the car audio systems are part of a new vehicle sales price and are installed by electricians that are trained in digital audio music machines. Most of these audio systems are equipped with compact disk players as a standard music addition to a new car purchase.

Some portable electronics for consumers will utilize satellites for locating an uninterruptible entertainment source. There are several satellite radio companies that offer their own type of satellite radios which can be removed from the dashboard of the car and used in a boom box for entertainment anywhere a person wants. The commercial-free entertainment units stand to replace car audio at some point in time.

There is an outstanding assortment of mobile phones that feature electronic hardware and allow people to use the video capabilities to capture rare moments in life. Mobile phones are the most widely used consumer electronics products offered today and millions of people use these electronic devices to access the internet every day. These electronic devices also allow people to take digital photographs and share them with friends.

Many of the electronic devices provide entertainment through the music that they create. Electronic keyboards are in great demand and people have found that they can use these devices to create ringtones for their mobile telephone devices. As often is the case, most consumer electronics can be used in conjunction with other electronic devices which give the consumer their money’s worth tenfold.

The consumer electronic selections get bigger everyday. People pay particular attention to these electronic devices for entertaining because they improve the quality of life for everyone in the world. They also make life easier by accomplishing tasks that used to take weeks to accomplish. When new electronics are offered people will generally read product reviews to get the real story on what is available in the consumer electronics field of entertainment.

An easy way to start making money at home almost effortlessly with your online business is to set up a Clickbank website. This site would offer electronic products available through the Clickbank marketplace that you can sell as an affiliate and earn commissions from. Clickbank is probably the best way online to sell affiliate products.

I wouldn’t say that Clickbank is a business for making money at home in itself. Rather, it is something that allows you earn extra cash, big or small, from product sales to boost your regular online business income. In my opinion, it should be used as a supplement to your internet business, not as your only means of generating income.

I say that because an online business is more than just selling products and services to make money at home. A business means you offer something of quality to customers over the long haul in hopes that they will become repeat customers because you have offered information or services that are unbeatable from a source they can trust.

If you want to start making money at home quickly to supplement your business, Clickbank works like a charm, but you have to know how to use it effectively if you want to make the sales.

That’s where Clickbank Elite comes in. Clickbank Elite is both a manual and software that will help you choose the top-selling items at Clickbank that you want to promote on your site or blog, or other advertising means. It is updated regularly so you know what’s hot and what’s not.

The software gives you a search screen where you can select products by keyword, categories, subcategories, commissions earned, popularity, gravity, and so on. You can further sort the data you receive with dropdown menu choices and even export it to a spreadsheet if you want.

Product rankings will let you know which products will help you start making money at home. You can even track where your sales came from, find products that will soon become hot sellers, and create ads that look like Adsense ads to promote your products.

Will this software really generate more sales for you and get you earning more money at home? Well I have been using Clickbank Elite for several months now, and while it is great at helping you find the best products to promote online, it has really not helped me anymore than one person’s advice on a forum.

If you have no idea what products to promote, or what gravity and $/sale means, then it’s a good idea to get a copy of Clickbank Elite because it will help you start making money at home.

But if you have a good or even basic knowledge already of what gravity means, how much you want to earn, and $/sale, then you really don’t gain a lot more by ordering Clickbank Elite than you would by simply going to the Clickbank marketplace and choosing products based on gravity and $/sale.

The thing to remember when making money at home with Clickbank is that if you choose products that are extremely popular sellers, then as a newbie internet marketer, you may not generate any sales because all the top dogs are using their savvy advertising skills and profits to beat you out.

Therefore, making money at home for you would mean knowing how to choose what’s popular, but not too popular. For someone just starting out, you might want to choose a product where gravity is about 60-100, and $/sale is more than $20.00. These numbers are listed right on the Clickbank website.

Now I admit to not always being on top of the game with Clickbank and Clickbank Elite, as there are people making fortunes who are using Clickbank Elite on a regular basis, downloading the updates and new products daily. If you do this, you will have an advantage by using Clickbank Elite.

However, with a solid background in internet marketing, and a knowledge of what products to choose based on the criteria mentioned above, then you will still be making money at home with Clickbank without using Clickbank Elite. Much of my income comes from here, so it’s a good thing to consider!

Phil Scheen asked:


A decade ago most of us sat in awe when viewing a huge full color full motion video screen at a professional sports stadium, or at a concert by one of many famous international musical groups. That cutting edge technology is available today at a fraction of the cost of products manufactured ten years ago, and the visual experience is far superior! If your company has an annual advertising budget of $50,000 or more, the question is no longer “can we afford an electronic message center”, it has become “can we afford NOT to invest in an EMC?”.

Consider the following facts from the Small Business Administration:

1) According to the Small Business Administration, sales increase between 15 and 150% when and electronic message center is installed.

2) Electronic message centers allow an unlimited number of message changes and variable controls, all easily completed with a computer. The result is lower labor cost and elimination of the physical liabilities often associated with copy changes on traditional reader boards.

3) Electronic Message centers communicate variable messages as people pass by, allowing greater flexibility in communicating to the public.

4) With their automated dimming and focusing systems, electronic message centers can respond to the visibility needs of the public, increasing safety and conspicuity day and night. 

5) The flexibility offered by electronic message centers means your business can advertise specials while also displaying public service information or other items of public interest. 

6) Electronic message centers can quickly "brand" your business site in the local community. 

7) Electronic message centers are an investment in your business and provide the best and most cost-effective forms of paid advertising. The only form of advertising that may be more powerful is word of mouth (although it can be neither purchased nor controlled). 

The effectiveness of an electronic message center is not limited by space or surface area constraints as with a reader-board. 

9) Electronic message centers act as your "salesman on the street," attracting new customers to your business location. 

10) Electronic message centers allow you to market your products and services to your immediate trade area and prevent wasteful advertising expenses. 

11) The business owner can change the message as needed to provide information to specific retail customers, and can be used for political, social or community events. 

12) Software is available that enables a business owner to display sophisticated logos or images on the EMC precisely as planned. 

An Answer to the Challenge of Changing Demographics 

The public - your existing and potential customers - is on the move, both literally and figuratively, and sometimes catching their attention is like hitting a moving target. Consider that approximately 18.6% of Americans move every year. Whether they move a short or long distance, they usually change their basic trade area. Add to that the fact that 15-35% of the traffic on a given street is "just passing through" (vacation travelers and such), and you can see the great potential for single stops by those unfamiliar with the area. An electronic or variable message center offers a unique way to capture the attention of these passers-by. An EMC allows you to communicate more effectively with the typical person passing by at a particular time day by changing the message and graphic of your sign to match the profile on the street. The local airport in Monmouth, NJ offers a clever example of this flexibility. The airport used its display to advertise price specials at peak hours to those traveling by on the freeway on the way to and from work. During shopping hours or after-school traffic, the airport changed its display to offer community service messages. This kind of flexibility increases the readership of a message unit, as it can correspond to the traffic profile by the day of the week, the time of day, or the season. With the right software, virtually any message can be created and displayed. The demand by businesses for these electronic or variable message centers is increasing because these signs improve the economic viability of difficult commercial sites with limited space. Municipalities that wish to prevent urban sprawl or deterioration of urban land are passing enabling acts that require optimization of urban space, and thus are more willing to look at EMCs as a signage option for businesses. 

Frequently Asked Questions about EMCs 

We have a sign; why does my business need a message center?

Consider for a moment the speed at which traffic passes by the average business. A motorist has only a few seconds to see and comprehend any given sign. For example, on a street with traffic passing at 45 miles per hour, a car that is 500 feet in front of a given sign will have only 7.6 seconds to read the sign before it passes, under normal driving conditions. A business’ sign must be conspicuous if it is to catch the attention of passing motorists within the limited amount of time available. Motorists often spot electronic message centers quickly because the copy changes, the letters are illuminated, and the signs have traditionally been used as public service devices. Additionally, electronic message centers may have greater visibility from further distances, especially in poor lighting conditions , giving the motorist additional time to read the message displayed while safely maneuvering his or her vehicle. Message Centers act as a consolidating type of advertising. In other words, they offer businesses a way of posting a variety of information in one place rather than relying on numerous signs and banners displayed in windows, for example. This can be a real advantage for a business located in a district with strict rules about temporary signs. Most importantly, the electronic message center almost always increases a business’ share of revenue . This is a result of the "branding" of the site through the use of specific logos, reinforcement of other advertising messages, allowing for public service notices, generating exact impulse stops, and helping to change customers’ buying habits once they have stopped. 

Is an electronic message center a cost-effective advertising medium?

Yes. Businesses often select their advertising medium, and messages, based upon the cost per thousand exposures of their message to the public. ON this basis, no other form of advertising comes close to matching the efficiency and cost-effectiveness, dollar for dollar, of an electronic message display. Compare the figures below: 

· Newspaper advertising - the cost on average is about $7.39 for 1000 exposures within a 10- mile radius of the business location.

· Television advertising - The cost on average is approximately $6.26 per 1000 exposures.

· Radio advertising - The cost is about $5.47 per 1000 exposures.

· New LED electronic message center display - The cost is less than $0.15 per 1000 exposures. How? Assume, for example, that you spend $30,000.00 on this type of system, and that its useful life is about ten years. The amortized daily cost of the message center would equal about $2.74. Add to this the daily cost of electricity for this new LED unit (approximately $0.20), thus giving your business a daily message center expense total of $8.82. With a daily traffic count of 20,000 vehicles passing your business, you would have a cost of less than $0.45 per thousand exposures (counting drivers only)!

Best of all, with an electronic message center, a business does not have to worry about missing its target audience, becoming "yesterday’s news," or facing expensive production costs for changing its message , as happens frequently with the other forms of advertising mentioned. 

With an electronic variable message display:

· The business owns the form of advertising

· The advertising works for the business 24 hours a day, 365 days a year

· The sign acts as the "salesman on the street" attracting customers into the business

· The advertising speaks directly to the potential customers as they drive past the business location, and the EMC makes the business a landmark in its community. Finally, many message center manufacturers provide leasing programs, which include service and maintenance, thereby providing another option for covering the cost of usage. 

Please contact the Small Business Administration for more information. 

Before you decide that these incredible devices are beyond your scope of understanding or ability to operate, consider the fact that, with a rudimentary understanding of personal computers, within a couple of hours of "hands on" experience you will have a firm grasp of what it takes to run your new electronic message center. If you have the ability to use Microsoft software, electronic message centers will provide little challenge. 

A common misunderstanding is that there must be constant communication between your computer and the electronic message center. In reality, this communication is only necessary when the user changes the message schedule, and it takes about 5 seconds for the transmission.  

Electronic message centers range from small simple "time and temperature" displays to full color boards with the ability to show movie clips. You may choose between Mono(single color/text only), Gray Scale(single color with varying number of shades that allows basic graphic display), and Full Color, which offers beautiful realistic renderings of just about anything you can visualize! 

One of the most exciting parts of owning an electronic message center is the ability to target your advertisements specifically to the potential customer passing in front of your location, by time, date, Holiday, or any other variable you choose… and if you use your imagination, and devise very tempting ads, that customer will come in your door immediately while your ad is still on his mind. Instant gratification! 

One of the most frustrating advertising issues is coordinating ad dates with delivery of product. As a business owner, how many times have you spent thousands of dollars to run advertising on a new and exciting product, only to have the supplier "drop the ball", and not deliver the goods on time? It’s happened to all of us… With your new electronic message center, until you push the "send" button your message doesn’t change. 

How about the other side of the coin… A vendor calls and has acquired one of your best selling items at a tremendous savings and wants to get them out of his inventory very quickly. It’s a cash deal, so you want to turn your investment within a short period of time. Your ability to rapidly set up and get ads running on "standard" media is very limited, and could add weeks to the amount of time needed to sell the product. With your new electronic message center, you can target tens of thousands of passersby per day immediately! This provides a real advantage for you, when your competitors don’t own an electronic message center. 

Time and temperature and public service messages will draw viewers to your electronic message center. Adding "non-sales" oriented public service messages to your schedule will cause those who use your street as a regular route to become accustomed to turning to look at your sign to get the latest updates, which is exactly what you are trying to accomplish. 

Bottom line? You can own an electronic message center for less than the yearly cost of a full page Yellow Pages ad. The cost of a yearlong full coverage television or radio advertising campaign could dwarf the investment made in an electronic message center that will last for years, requires very little maintenance, and runs on standard 110 volt AC current. 

The question is no longer "can we afford an electronic message center"… It’s "can we afford NOT to invest in an EMC!"
