[Most people struggle with how to get started.  It\\u2019s the blank paper syndrome. How do you get started\\u2026.?]

\\n

Ideation:

\\n

Look at niche sites like Etsy, Uncommon goods, Pinterest, etc.

\\n

Story analogy: read Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars,

\\n

then write Game of Thrones

\\n


\\n

Amazon Selection

\\n

[I know that Amazon is your platform of choice to sell your products. How do you investigate whether a product is sellable?]

\\n

First, see if there is keyword demand

\\n

See what competition looks like

\\n

How many reviews?

\\n

Where can you improve products?

\\n

Look at negative reviews to see where you can improve

\\n


\\n

[Once you know the type of product you want to sell. - What\\u2019s your process for designing a product]

\\n

Affordances

\\n

The affordances of an object determine, naturally, how it can be used

\\n

Button affords pushing \\u2013 Handle affords grasping \\u2013 Chair affords sitting \\u2013 Knob affords turning

\\n

Constraint

\\n

Constraints limit the ways in which something can be used

\\n

Ex. Scissors can only open and close

\\n

Examples of Poor Design \\u2022 Trapped between doors!

\\n

Handles afford pulling

\\n

Using a flat plate would constrain the user to push

\\n

Example for Amazon Sellers

\\n

Packaging has a pull tab on it.

\\n


\\n

[[Sometime going full out launching a product can be risky.  I know you like to test the waters first.  How do you go about testing the waters before you go full out]

\\n

PickFu for quick market testing

\\n

Have a designer make a few new designs for you:

\\n

example patterns

\\n

Mock up 2 designs and post to PickFu or facebook groups

\\n

Great for easy A/B choice
