			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>When You Let Everyone Play &#8230; Nobody Wins</h3>
<p>I need to get something off my chest. There are at least three invention sites (may be more) where you can enter a &#8220;contest&#8221; and hope you get picked. I admit, it is tempting to think that somehow the finish line will magically appear and you just need to step through and win the race.</p>
<p>This inventing gig is hard work. It&#8217;s not easy money but it&#8217;s pretty simple if you know the steps and get help. If you want to take more control of your future, you need to <strong>put in the effort</strong>.</p>
<p>You also need to stand out from the crowd or better yet, go where there is no crowd. This video illustrates how I feel about these sites.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.inventionaddict.com/2011/08/27/invention-contest-sites/"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<h3>So if you are ready to leave the crowd and stand out, you will need a few things:</h3>
<p>1) A <a href="../2011/08/22/professional-help/" target="_blank">3D Virtual Prototype</a> a 3D CAD model to illustrate what the finished product will look like. The computer renderings look so real you’ll think it’s a photograph. I can even make an animation video to show moving parts.</p>
<p>2) Patent Wizard to <a href="http://www.neustelsoftware.com/120.html" target="_blank">write your Provisional Patent Application</a> yourself rather than paying an attorney.</p>
<p>3) <a title="sells sheet help" href="http://www.inventionaddict.com/2011/08/22/professional-help/">A stellar sell sheet</a> that will be your invention’s <em><strong>résumé </strong></em>to get your product in front of decision makers at major manufacturers who want your ideas. You, yes you will contact companies, make a connection and get them your résumé, I mean sell sheet so you can start the conversation and start getting something done.</p>

<p>I need to get something off my chest. There are at least three invention sites (may be more) where you can enter a &#8220;contest&#8221; and hope you get picked. I admit, it is tempting to think that somehow the finish line will magically appear and you just need to step through and win the race.</p>
<p>This inventing gig is hard work. It&#8217;s not easy money but it&#8217;s pretty simple if you know the steps and get help. If you want to take more control of your future, you need to <strong>put in the effort</strong>.</p>
<p>You also need to stand out from the crowd or better yet, go where there is no crowd. This video illustrates how I feel about these sites.</p>

<h3>So if you are ready to leave the crowd and stand out, you will need a few things:</h3>
<p>1) A <a href="../2011/08/22/professional-help/" target="_blank">3D Virtual Prototype</a> a 3D CAD model to illustrate what the finished product will look like. The computer renderings look so real you’ll think it’s a photograph. I can even make an animation video to show moving parts.</p>
<p>2) Patent Wizard to <a href="http://www.neustelsoftware.com/120.html" target="_blank">write your Provisional Patent Application</a> yourself rather than paying an attorney.</p>
<p>3) <a title="sells sheet help" href="http://www.inventionaddict.com/2011/08/22/professional-help/">A stellar sell sheet</a> that will be your invention’s <em><strong>résumé </strong></em>to get your product in front of decision makers at major manufacturers who want your ideas. You, yes you will contact companies, make a connection and get them your résumé, I mean sell sheet so you can start the conversation and start getting something done.</p>
