Hello, I'm new to the board, but have just finished reading the extended version of 4HWW. On p.165 Tim says, "visit www.fourhourblog.com ...From how to sell inventions without prototypes to how to secure rights to products as a no-name beginner, it's all there." I currently have an amazing (at least I think so) idea in mind, but no prototype. I'm wondering if a prototype is necessary and if someone can direct me to the resource on this subject that Tim is referring to as I was unable to find anything. Thanks!

Hi there & welcome :) From the home page http://www.fourhourworkweek.com - use the Resources tab to choose "Reader-only Resources" and log in. I am wondering now if the page number is still the right one to reference with the new version, I don't have it in front of me right now. PM me if you have trouble logging in.

Hi Marcie,

Thanks for the reply. I received the updated version of the book and the word on that specific page permitted me access. However, I still could not find what I am looking for concerning selling inventions without prototypes. I also ran a search through this forum and the results were slim to none.

You might not have found anything about that particular topic because most inventions without prototypes are worthless. If you are looking at income generated from intellectual property, I can tell you that the costs involved in this kind of business will be substantial.

warpx,

Thanks for your response. I thought so, too, which is why I was looking to read these materials. On the upside, I have bigger muses to pursue. I appreciate your input.

I can also advise you, that getting a prototype sounds much more complicated than it actually is in reality. If you look for "3D printing" and "rapid prototyping" all major search engines will provide good results.
The finetuning and other engineering work you can probably outsource.
