I've come up with a pretty solid idea for household product that just about everyone use's. Not really reinventing the wheel, but making something much easier and more pleasant to use.
Problem is I don't know where to even start with my invention. I can get the design aspect done, but where do I go from there? Are there any good guides or books out there that will help me with my next steps? I've tried googling and there's just so much info out there. It's hard to sort thru what's legit and what's not.
I also came across a site called Edison Nation where people can submit inventions and, if approved, split a 50% royalty with them. Is that worth it?
Gah, I just don't know where to start 😕
