I been seeing these commercials lately and this is probably the greatest idea for the business starters and pretty good for people who have good ideas but don't want to start their own business. It's like ABC's Shark Tank multiplied. You make money through "influence" which is a portion of the revenue times 10% the product price.
Quirky
How It Works (The Gist from the Website):
Post an Idea- If you have anything from a napkin drawing to a detailed blueprint of a consumer product you can post it. You are entitled to 40.5% "influence" if the product goes to market.
Research- This is the start of a 1 week voting stage where viewers can attribute to the idea or just give feedback if it should become a product or not. Research can be anything like "does a similar product already exist?' to "is this technology even in existence to make this idea possible?" 5% influence can be earned.
Design- Basics like the actual look of the product. Not the color scheme but the actual look e.g. wall charger= square, 90 degree angle with 3 prong outlet and cord. 5% influence.
Enhance- The final enhancements on the rough design. Of the products I saw mainly graphic designers won this. 5% influence.
Style- This is where color schemes and materials come in like "glossy white with wood accents" come in. 5% influence.
Name- product name i.e. "the chopper". 5% influence.
Tagline- the catchy tagline i.e. "chop and never, ever stop". 5% influence.
Price- this is a bit of research but mainly voting for what price point the product should be. 5% influence.
Just thought I would share! Its pretty fun to look through ideas when bored and make side change especially if you are good with catchy ideas, designs, etc.
This guy made $39K so far for his idea and his influencers made $52K so far (about $28 each person)
