So how to make a product?
Step One: Find a need. Do not underestimate this step.
Step Two: Design. Function. Form. Materials. Try making a list of possible solutions, with consideration to the cost and feasibility of each. Make sure to keep in mind your target market.
Step Three: Prototype! Figure out what works. Make sure you think about how to reproduce it. If it takes twenty hours of hard labor to make one, how are you ever gonna sell them for a profit?
Step Four: Sell them and then make them. Or make them and then sell them. This depends on start up capital, and is usually a compromise of both.
Step Five: Be your own factory! Look for ways to keep time short, and barter resources to keep it cheap.
