Why not release your own product?

I've seen the latest topics on how to behave in a hiring interview.

I've had a lot of job interviews.
My problem is that an influential person intervened and in a few months I was fired. Well, I was not a very important person in the new company to have someone quarreling for me.

In some interviews, employers congratulated me,
Because they had difficulty correcting my solutions and had to look for the textbooks.

Why cry near the employer's door?
Why do we think others are better than us(employer)?

Sure is a praise to work beside large corporations in the electronics field,
You earn good salary, women admire you.

But if you have ideas why not try alone?

In a multinational company, I built a device that all my colleagues(from my department) said was impossible to do.

hi M,
I want my comment to be accepted as well intended, but frankly your two linked web pages are depressing and off putting as soon as they open.
Also the URL names need work.

I would say presentation is one of your product problems.

Eric.
What is your location.?

Here are some tips:
1. I wouldn't buy from a nameless, faceless seller on Weebly who I have no way of vetting. I doubt anyone else would either. Try using eBay or other sales site where people's purchases are covered by some kind of guarantee and you can accrue positive reviews and public feedback.
2. Make some videos of your product in action. Consumers don't have time to read a bland web page. They want videos.
3. Use better English or get a native speaker to proof-read for you. It's obvious English isn't your mother tongue and unfortunately people will associate that in a negative way and not take you seriously.
4. Advertise. Do you advertise at all? Is your site SEO? I googled "smart blue living" and your website was not in the first 100 results.

I will try.

I appreciate nationalism if he buy something created by an English speaker.

I tried to apply on the kickstarter and they answered in a beautiful tone that the romanian citizens can not apply there.

How many projects on
kickstarter.com they become well sold ?

How many did they get back the money that they were financed?

Good ideas are a dime a dozen. The hard work is developing a real product to meet a real market need and putting all the resources in place to build, market and service such a product better than your competition. It's rare that a technology idea looking for an application and market will succeed, and very rare it will succeed without those other resources.

That's why we look for employers. We have specialized skills and should not pretend to also be excellent marketers, financiers, salesmen, factory workers, and on and on. Other people will be better than us at most of those. Our labor is more efficient and productive if we work with other specialists. The history of human civilization is about increasing specialization of labor. Big companies, with all their politics and bureaucracy and nuisance, can out-compete small companies for the simple reasons that they have the efficiencies of specialized labor and of course economies of scale. Otherwise all those negative things would bring them down. There would be no large companies.

Don't sell a products to the general public, you need a big name, low cost, lot's of marketing and as someone who spent a time running my own IT business, I can tell you the general public are stupid and expect everything for nothing. Never deal with the general public, it's a big mistake.

Market something toward commercial customers instead, maybe design products that 3rd parties can integrate into their own.

I worked for a company that did this, they sold stuff for incredible prices and the product/support was actually pretty awful. Most of their stuff was a simple PCB, with a PIC microcontroller, screwed into an enclosure and sold at a huge profit, if the PCB cost £30 to make, they sold it for £200.
