I would worry less, at this stage, of whether or not you have the money to develop it or market it. Instead focus your energy on getting to understand the sector it's in. The more you understand about the market, the more you will be able to understand you inventions role in it.

Hi, can anyone offer some advice...
My client is just starting a small fashion label.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how much a photographer would cost to produce the following:
1. A series (10 - 12) of photographs featuring a model, in studio setting

Hey Panky.
What do you enjoy? I would start by creating a list of all the things I enjoy doing and start brainstorming from there.
Are you looking to start a business, or invest in an existing one?
Do you want to be hands-on or a silent investor?

HI Divyang
I would suggest you start small and local. Marketing to the 'whole' world from the outset is going to prove expensive, and, as you say, it is already a crowded. Of course we all want to be 'one of the big brands', but try to build a following of enthusiastic customers first.

Good luck

Hi there.
From the advice you've already been given:
1. Absolutely get your website up

Just a couple of suggestions:
1. Focus campaigns...
If Google uses links to move around the web to index, surely they will always be of great importance?
Is it contextual links that will gain importance, as an indicator of relevance? Rather than other links losing relevance?
A lovely website. Beautiful pictures. I would hire you to walk my dog, if I didn't enjoy the task so much myself. The blog and the recipe section are brilliant. Hope your clients are sending those images out on their own social media accounts.
Really nice job.
Hi Nick, 80% of your new contacts are referrals, or word-of-mouth contacts. That's actually a brilliant place to start.
We all keep thinking about online marketing activities in the same vein as traditional marketing, but it many ways, it is vastly different. In that, rather than being easy to...
