Advertise Your Invention Online for Sale, License, or Investment For FREE!

I have talked to many inventors looking to inexpensively advertise their inventions for sale, license, or investment online. Setting up and maintaining a website is quite an ordeal… believe me… I know first-hand!

Well, I have set up a brand new way for inventors such as yourself to do so. You get your own web page for your invention along with a hits counter to track how many people have viewed your invention. Prospective buyers, licensees, and investors can contact you directly by email to discuss your invention. Upload any YouTube video of your invention if you like.

Your invention will appear on the major search engines and on an RSS feed that potential buyers, licensees, and investors can subscribe to. You can purchase additional monthly visitor traffic to your personal invention web page after signing up.

To view the currently listed inventions visit: http://ping.fm/gSBdu

List your invention today. Here is what to do:

Step 5: Purchase the Basic or Pro Advertising Package (through PayPal) if you want to send additional monthly visitor traffic to your own personal invention web page.

Step 6: Your invention will be reviewed for content then posted on your invention web page. You will be emailed with the URL of your invention web page when posted or if we have questions regarding your proposed posting.

Members:

Step 1: Login to your account at: http://ping.fm/qKjOg

Step 2: Follow Steps 3-6 above.

Note: This is a brand new service to inventors and as such we will not be able to judge its effectiveness for several months. The service will be adjusted as needed to increase its effectiveness in getting sales, licenses, and investors for inventors.

Best regards,

Brian R. Rayve

P.S. This service is only for patented or “patent pending” inventions as this service will “Publicly Disclose” your invention.

THAT MEANS THAT USING THIS SERVICE CAN RUIN YOUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN PATENT PROTECTION IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND IN OTHER COUNTRIES IF USED PREMATURELY.

Be sure to discuss your particular invention, goals, and the like with your patent attorney or patent agent before signing up for this service.

P.P.S. Here are two good blog posts to read prior to talking to your patent attorney:

Don't count your clicks before they hatch!

Don’t count your clicks before they hatch!

Do you have a website promoting your new product idea? It can be a great way to promote products. However, there are many pitfalls to doing so naively.

For example, I have been spending thousands of dollars on pay-per-click search engines over the last few years to promote my website. I have received many click-throughs but the costs have far outweighed any profits made from the clicks.

Recently I read that RELATIONSHIPS count, not CLICKS! I thought to myself duh! Why did I not properly follow-up with all of the people who clicked through and signed-up to download my free Independent Inventor’s Kit? It seems so simple now.

Well, that is why I am now blogging regularly and emailing those click-throughs to establish relationships with them! Most will probably never buy any products or services from me, but those that do will be worth it (financially speaking).

Regardless, I did not get into business solely to make money (though it helps to pay the bills), but to help people. I hope that those people who never become customers are helped by the free information they get from my website.

Well, I hope that you follow-up on the leads, including paid clicks, that you get… they are worth pursuing to build those relationships and some end up as friendships.

Remember to offer some incentive (that helps people) to capture contact information… typically at least first name and email… so you can follow up. Also keep in mind that people are flooded with emails these days. Most people throw out 9 out of 10 emails they receive… so make sure your emails offer VALUE to recipients (i.e. supply some knowledge or product worth spending their increasingly scarce time to open and looking at).

In future articles I will write more tips on alternatives to email follow-up. Stay tuned!

Talk to you again soon… remember to follow-up and build those relationships!
