In this episode of the Predictable Designs Podcast I speak with electrical engineer Craig Rettew about how to build an audience for your product when you have no prior online marketing experience.
Craig is an amazing electronics engineer (and expert in the Hardware Academy) but he is relatively new to online marketing, but realizes the importance of building an audience for your product as early as possible. -
In this episode I continue my conversation with Miguel Hernandez who is the creator of the Palocam which is a remote-control camera that can be driven up metal poles for filming sporting events from above.
We discuss how he has been able to drastically simplify his product design based on the feedback he's gotten in the Hardware Academy. His design simplifications include reducing the number of custom injection molded plastic parts from 18 down to only a couple, and removing a complex, nice-to-have feature that wasn't truly necessary.
These simplifications not only will save Miguel tens of thousands of dollars on injection molds, but it also allowed him to reduce his product assembly time by over 500%!
And, all of these simplifications significantly lowered his manufacturing cost without any negative impact on the product quality or functionality.
We also talk about marketing and crowdfunding in depth including the importance of estimating your costs so you can know how much money you need to raise. -
In this episode of the Predictable Designs Podcast I speak with Hardware Academy member Miguel Hernandez. Miguel is the founder of Palocam which is a remote-controlled camera designed to be driven up metal poles for filming sporting events from above.
Miguel has made a lot of great progress and we discuss many topics related to product development, manufacturing, and marketing. The overall theme of this interview is how to get help, collect feedback, and execute quickly.
Miguel quickly implemented much of the advice he has gotten in the Academy and has already redesigned his prototype based on this feedback. This redesign drastically reduced his product complexity, manufacturing cost and assembly time.
Because Miguel has proven that he can take advice and execute quickly he has also already gotten a very significant investment offer from another Academy member.
This is an interview you do not want to miss! -
In this episode I answer the questions asked by Miguel Hernandez in a very detailed post from inside the Hardware Academy. The questions focus on three areas including reducing manufacturing costs, increasing sales, and funding.
