Jack, from what I've seen you have a legitimate instrument that isn't an impulse buy, but a save your money to buy item. You've gotten a name for yourself here but sadly we're mostly poverty builders and can only dream...
What you have to do is generate interest in the folks that will gladly pay to be on your waiting list. Become a brand. The first thing you have to do is have a product. The second thing is presenting your creations so people understand how great it is. The third thing is getting that presentation out where people notice it. The 4th is making it easy to purchase.
Easy!
HAAAAAAA
As a first step you could work on a press release that you can email to your local newspaper. Pick your words carefully so that they know you are interesting and you and your (insert instrument name here ((srs?)) is something people wouldn't mind reading (and seeing) about.
I just went to your page here and it looks like FaceBook and not a web presence for your creations. And I didn't see your brand name there. It's easy to reorganize your page, just ask. What is SRS?
Local newspaper Features editors scramble to find some fluff to print every day, you have something interesting and all you have to do is let them know. They love it when an idea lands on their desk.
An online presence puts you in front of a worldwide audience. Get a website or manicure your page here so AT A GLANCE people know what you are about. Think out your photos and make it so they not only want to learn about srs, but will even click another link to learn more.
If you can't play it virtuoso, shoot a video of someone that can. Show them what they can do with it. Tickle them with something that they want to be able to do.
Make it easy for someone to buy one, make it enticing to buy one. Put a Buy It Now button right there after they see and hear your presentation. Don't be red dog obvious, but when someone clicks they should be able to look at, learn about, see & hear it and purchase.
Today's assignment is to make a logo, shoot some pro photos, shoot a great video with a star, quote some testimonials, code a website, create a PayPal storefront, and put all those links into an amazing letter to send to the local newspaper. Then after lunch clean and organize the shop and get ready for a wild roller coaster ride...
Any questions?
