If you’re an inventor or entrepreneur wondering: 👉 Should I post on social media? 👉 Should I launch a Kickstarter? 👉 Should I sell on Amazon? 👉 Should I build an email list? The answer is simple: ALL OF THE ABOVE. In this episode of Invent With Me, I break down the 5 critical pillars that led to my first $100,000 week in eCommerce—and how you can apply these same strategies to your own product or invention. This is not some “get rich quick” blueprint. It’s a real-world, battle-tested framework built through trial, error, and stacking the right decisions over time. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: How consistent social media posting builds momentum before you ever go viral Why Kickstarter is more about validation and SEO than funding When (and when NOT) to launch on Amazon FBA The importance of product optimization before scaling Why your email list is your most valuable asset (and how it ties everything together) How one viral video turned into real revenue—not just views 🔥 The Truth About Viral Success Most people think one viral video changes everything. It doesn’t. What actually matters is everything you’ve built before that moment: Your product quality Your sales channels Your credibility Your audience Because when attention hits… 👉 You either convert it into sales 👉 Or you waste the opportunity completely 🛠 Who This Is For: Inventors launching a new product Entrepreneurs building an eCommerce brand Kickstarter creators Amazon sellers (or those considering it) Anyone trying to turn attention into revenue ⚠️ Important Note This episode focuses on eCommerce and internet-driven success—not retail shelves, big box stores, or licensing deals. Your journey may look different, but these principles still apply. 👇 Join the Inventor Community Want to connect with other inventors actively building products and businesses? 👉 Check out the Patreon + Discord community (link below) Get feedback, support, and real conversations with people in the trenches.

They worry about wasting money, embarrassing themselves, or building a product that nobody wants. But what if the real truth is this: You literally can’t lose by inventing. Grant shares his personal journey from being a construction worker with a high school diploma to building a multi-million dollar product business and eventually being paid $1,500 per day for marketing consulting and media strategy. Along the way, many of his worst fears about inventing actually came true. • Losing money on early advertising • Manufacturing problems and bad product batches • Embarrassing early marketing attempts • Questioning whether the product idea was even good But each of those setbacks forced him to develop valuable skills that changed his career forever. In this episode you'll learn: • Why inventors accidentally become experts in business • How failing at marketing can turn into a powerful skillset • The manufacturing lessons every product inventor must learn • How inventing teaches you sales, networking, and problem solving • Why even a “bad” product can lead to massive opportunity Inventing isn’t just about creating a product. It’s about becoming the type of person who can build, market, and scale ideas. And once you develop those skills, they transfer into consulting, entrepreneurship, marketing, product development, and business opportunities far beyond the original invention. If you’re an inventor, product developer, entrepreneur, or someone with an idea you’ve been afraid to pursue, this episode will completely change how you think about risk. Because the truth is simple: You either win, or you learn. 🎙 About the Invent With Me Podcast The Invent With Me Podcast helps inventors, product creators, and entrepreneurs turn ideas into real businesses. Each episode explores product development, manufacturing, patents, marketing, crowdfunding, and the real journey of bringing inventions to market. Hosted by Grant Martin, founder of TorkStrap, a multi-million dollar cargo strap brand built from a garage invention.

    68. Are you Crazy for Inventing or is Everyone Else Crazy? | Invent With Me

    Send us Fan Mail If you're an inventor and sometimes feel like you're crazy for chasing your idea… you’re not alone. In fact, that feeling might be the biggest signal that you’re on the right path. This episode is brought to you by QuickPatents LLC. Looking for the IWM trusted patent solution? Look no further! https://www.quickpatents.com/ Access the exclusive Discord through the Patreon below for just $6/Month! ⬇️ https://patreon.com/InventWithMe?utm_...    IWM Engineer; Lance at https://www.freelancedesigns.ca/ Try TorkStrap at 15% off with exclusive code: IWM https://torkstrap.com/ The Invent With Me Podcast ⬇️Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/2YAZqvv... ⬇️Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... In this episode of the Invent With Me Podcast, Grant Martin breaks down one of the most common experiences inventors face: doubt from friends, family, and even themselves. From early mornings building prototypes in a garage to questioning whether the journey will ever scale into a real business, this episode explores the psychological and practical realities of bringing a product idea to life. Grant shares the raw story of building TorkStrap from crude homemade tools and producing just 20 units per day, while trying to imagine how that tiny operation could ever grow into a real company. Along the way, he explains why almost every inventor reaches a moment where the journey feels irrational — and why pushing through that phase is often the turning point. You’ll learn: • Why friends and family often doubt invention ideas • How early prototypes and garage manufacturing actually help refine a product • Why your first manufacturing process will never be the final one • The hidden reality of the hours, sacrifice, and “crazy” work ethic behind successful inventors • How to stay focused when others suggest playing it safe Most people build their lives around stability. Inventors build their lives around question marks — and that’s exactly what makes innovation possible. If you're working on a new product, building a prototype, or trying to turn your invention into a real business, this episode will remind you that the struggle you're feeling is not a sign of failure — it's a normal part of the invention process. And sometimes the difference between quitting and succeeding is simply refusing to believe you're the crazy one. About the Podcast The Invent With Me Podcast helps inventors, entrepreneurs, and product creators turn ideas into real products and profitable businesses. Hosted by inventor and entrepreneur Grant Martin, founder of TorkStrap, each episode covers product development, manufacturing, patents, marketing, and the realities of building a physical product brand.

    64. Can You Bring a Successful Invention to Market By Yourself?

    Send us Fan Mail This is one of the most important episodes we’ve ever recorded. Two years ago, Invent With Me started with nothing more than a couple microphones, a lot of uncertainty, and a willingness to talk honestly about invention, failure, and figuring it out as we go. No roadmap. No guarantee anyone would listen. Fast forward to today—and sitting across from us is one of our very first listeners. He followed the show from the beginning. Joined the Discord. Paid for consulting. Executed the steps exactly as taught. And now? He’s doing $6k–$8k per month in revenue with his invention. In this episode, we break down: What actually happens when someone takes invention advice seriously The real steps from idea → product → sales (no fluff, no “guru” talk) Why this moment forced us to rethink the future of the podcast How community, interaction, and execution matter more than motivation What’s next for Invent With Me and how we plan to help inventors at a deeper level This episode isn’t hype. It’s proof. Proof that invention can work. Proof that process beats luck. Proof that you don’t need permission to start. If you’ve ever wondered whether listening, learning, and taking action can actually change your outcome—this episode answers that question. 👇 Watch to the end. This one matters.
