It's so great seeing all the dia...Good morning,<br />It's so great seeing all the dialog about this exciting show! <br /><br />Christa, <br />I thought it was only going to be $100 for a provisional patent so I headed to an attorney ($75 consultation fee)only to find out that yes, it's $100 to FILE the patent. It would cost $2,500 to get a provisional patent for my invention. I'm happy to hear you are a kitchen gadget girl - me too! Product X will save you SO much time and effort and give you many options when cooking!<br /><br />Krista,<br />From what I understand, you pick one of the casting days out of the two. It starts at 9am and goes until 4pm. Keep going with your invention even if it's not for HSN. It sounds like it could help many! Good luck!<br /><br />Kara,<br />I'm sure the LA casting call will be a blast! Yes, please let us know what the turn out was! From what I've gathered, Kelly Ripa will choose one Women a week to sell her product on HSN. If it's a standard reality show, it should last approx. 10 weeks so maybe 10 women inventors on HSN? If I get more info on this, I'll let you know. Good question about the non-disclosure....I would love that but I did find out that you do not have to have your invention patented so I am sure the judges and anyone affiliated with the show will have to sign SOMETHING saying they will not "steal" the ideas they are seeing.<br /><br />Have a great morning everyone!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881554072218138888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585401977071096521.post-86856319786261860122009-06-10T01:18:06.341-04:002009-06-10T01:18:06.341-04:00Hi Ladies,

All part of the show. <br />Also, do multiple women get to go on HSN or just one winner.<br />Please let us know about how many people showed up to the audtion. Did they sign a non-disclosure agreement?<br />Thanks for your time,<br />KaraKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173637592208817021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585401977071096521.post-89801625040492352592009-06-09T23:46:42.277-04:002009-06-09T23:46:42.277-04:00Hi Tracy, I guess I think my product isn't HSN...Hi Tracy, I guess I think my product isn't HSN material....worried about how much it will have to sell for...my product is something that is for a certain type of people(children with disabilities) so I'm worried it's too specialized. I want it to be trendy and affordable! I'm still so new at this! Do you if the audition is for both days? I am just looking for more info on the sudition process...like times, and when to be there and such! Thanks for the comment back!Kristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658406313484484950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585401977071096521.post-52290674672936361882009-06-09T17:59:39.950-04:002009-06-09T17:59:39.950-04:00No blogspot...not enough time in the day with my 3...No blogspot...not enough time in the day with my 3 full time jobs: SAHM with 2 toddlers, my event planning business, and my house cleaning/grocery shopping/cooking :)! But I do enjoy reading your blog! <br /><br />If I don't make it, I'm rooting for you to be on the show - dying to know what Product X is! :) I am the master home chef (at least I think so!) so I wonder if there is another kitchen gadget (Product X) that I must have - afterall, I'm very selective about which kitchen tools I buy so as to not clutter up my kitchen! <br /><br />Can't talk about my invention yet...my last prototype was just created so I'm psyched to put all the other components on it and see it in action! Still thinking I should get the $100 provisional patent...excited to see what your patent attorney had to say!Christahttp://www.christahastie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585401977071096521.post-23922058448115161922009-06-09T06:45:28.599-04:002009-06-09T06:45:28.599-04:00Hi Christa,

What is your invention? Can you tell? ...Hi Kristan,<br />What is your invention? Can you tell? Why wouldn't you want to sell it on HSN?! It is because HSN will take a cut?<br />I have to say, 30 seconds goes by faster than you'd think! I'm sticking to just the facts and no fluff for my pitch. Do you live in Chicago or are you flying out? I just found out the dress I ordered for the audition is back ordered so I have to hit the shops again! <br />Good luck!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881554072218138888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585401977071096521.post-52268461972254839412009-06-08T10:44:43.960-04:002009-06-08T10:44:43.960-04:00ok, I am auditioning for the show too,(not for som...ok, I am auditioning for the show too,(not for something for the kitchen) I honestly don't want to sell my product on HSN, just want to be noticed...do you mind giving me some advice? how do you fit all you want to say in 30 sec?
