I have an idea for a product but don't know how to mass produce and market it

[nexus5rocks]

So we all know about kickstarter, gofundme, etc. but that's to raise funds to finance the project.

All I have is an idea, but I need some light phone app development and some other electronic doodads that need to be put together.

How do I get started?
I feel like the 3 guys from Horrible Bosses 2 trying to sell their shower buddy, except I don't even have a prototype.

First, ignore all the replies in this thread. We admit it, we're all just jelly of the brilliance of your progress so far.

Now, to get started, hound Mommy and Daddy for an advance on your allowance. Be bold, ask for TWO weeks worth. Whine and and threaten to hold your breath until they give in. Remember when that worked for that mountain bike you wanted?

Then pedal on down to Electronic Doodads R Us and stock up on one of everything they have. An idea as broad and entirely nebulous as yours should never be hamstrung because you don't have enough colored plastic zip ties or cans of compressed air.

Finally, weigh your phone. If it's light enough for light phone app development, use it to call somebody with a clue . . .

Because you desperately need one.

You could be a bit more specific, like who the hell do we write the check to?

Damn perks, you forgot to tell him to get off the lawn.

Well, obviously you need a programmer and a prototype first...

Few things from an admin have made me laugh that hard.

Kudos my friend. Kudos....

OP, try googling your idea. You will probably find that you aren't the first one to think of it.

Protip OP: Google scours every search query and WILL steal your idea if you give it to them.
