The Best Alternative to GETTING A REAL JOB

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Seattle, Washington, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 3, 2012 --

It’s hard to find a good job in this economy. Job searching can be a daunting task as so many Americans are still unemployed, with not enough new jobs being created. But finding that perfect new job may not be the only answer for many Americans. Most people have forgotten one of the true American dreams that is closer to reality than they think: the spirit of entrepreneurship. Yes, starting your own business is risky and difficult, especially having to rely on banks for financing. But times have changed. It’s the digital age, what some people are calling The Great Equalizer. So how can one take advantage of new technology in these hard times? One way is to invent a new product then sell it online rather than starting a traditional storefront business. E-commerce can reap incredible rewards with very, very few dollars invested.

Just about everyone at one time or another had an idea for a great new product or tool. Traditionally, having just an idea verses actually designing it, engineering it, and making a working prototype, was a process that ran tens of thousands of dollars. But thanks to social networking sites, along with crowd-sourcing for creative services, has brought forth a new generation of online resources that can benefit individual inventors with very limited budget.

One popular site where individuals can show off their genius idea and invention is kickstarter.com. Anyone with a great idea for a new “anything” can post it up on Kickstarter, where it can be noticed by venture capitalists, otherwise known as “being discovered.” Few products have already been backed by big companies thru Kickstarter. But before an idea can be shown off at such websites, it’s a good idea to get them drawn up or polished. Crowd-sourcing has been a popular option recently with many who need their creative projects done-up by professionals. Crowd-sourcing works by posting one’s project online, then having a global community of artists, designers, and engineers bid on them.

Traditionally, professional industrial design and engineering services were priced “out of reach” to individual entrepreneurs. But Gizmospring.com has invented a new innovative web interface to bring these costs down dramatically. Now, the cost of professional industrial design and engineering service can be accessed just under $500 dollars.

“Gizmospring brings together designers, engineers, and prototype makers from all over the world into a single virtual design center. They pool their creative talents to give inventors and small businesses access to professional level services which was only previously available to big corporations with deep pockets. Now anybody with a great idea can create products that can take the market by storm and it only takes about 500 bucks!” shares Jesse Adams, co founder of Gizmospring, an avid inventor who got the idea while trying to develop his own products. ”It was really frustrating because I was getting bids anywhere from 10 to over 40 thousand dollars just for one firm to consider taking on my design concept. I felt that there must be others like me out there, with great ideas for new products who were stifled by this traditional process.”

The advantage Gizmospring has over traditional crowd-sourcing is security: if one uses crowd-sourcing, each idea must be posted publicly for everyone to see. This is a major problem for inventors. Working with a real design firm such as Gizmospring brings corporate level security for each project being created. There’s great synergy between services such Gizmospring and Kickstarter. If you really want your idea to come alive, there’s a huge advantage to having it designed and rendered by professionals before showing it off to the world.

With such great services available to everyone, looking for a new job is not the only option in these tough times. Look for more and more people to take advantage of social networking and eCommerce to make their dreams come true.
