How do you get investors to put money into your ideas?

I've got a great idea, something I think would be a great money maker and it something that I would enjoy doing with my life and work hard at. The only problem is that I would need a huge amount of start up money. How does one go about getting someone or a company to invest money in their ideas? Does anyone know of some online resources I could peruse? Or better yet have a few million they want to invest?

Getting capital investors to sink money into an idea isn't hard, the rule is 1 out of every 10 investments will return profit. Your problem or challenge is getting them to hand over this cash...generally you need to do some R%26amp;D reachearch the market segment that your product will be attractive to and predict the demand for the product... at this point tit is only speculation as the whole point fo you looking for investors is that the product would not be viable without an influx of cash... now that you have that... how are you going to meet the predicted demand for your product... manufacturing will be a factor...shipping etc etc... then here is the big point... no investor will ever unless they are crazy invest into something that the investor has not invested in themselves... most people are willing to rish everythin to make a product work mortguage house and sink everything into the product...once they see you are passionate about the product the possibality that the product will be successful has increased....Good luck and i wish you well...
Reply:You are going to have a very hard time getting money, if all you have is an idea. It takes a lot more than an idea to start a successful business. You need to be motivated. An investor won't risk their money without seeing something real. They invest to help people get to the next level, not to get started. The best thing to do is figure how to pursue a smaller version of your idea first.

Reply:This question could take days to answer! You can raise capital many ways from getting a small business loan to inviting venture capitalists in. If I were you, I'd look into hoking up with the local chapter of SCORE. They are a bunch of retired executives that help out newbies with great ideas.
