Is it better to submit one idea to one requesting customer – or is it better to submit your idea to all that apply? Example: Submit same idea to Pepboys and also to Irwin. I did a “search” and didn’t come up with anything.

Thanks, everyone.

O.K. My turn to play newbie asking questions after using said green search button magic.

I submitted to one of the EN Fund searches but not seeing the ‘opt-in’ choice anywhere… Hope I didn’t screw this up already, LOL!

DOH! never mind… found it, these painkillers are not helping my thought process at all! Ruptured disc in my neck and 3 bone spurs hitting nerve endings are really slowing me down! Sorry for the trouble all… ; )

As an Insider, it is my practice to submit to all that apply (submit to one and then opt in to the others). If it fits a Fund search and you don’t mind paying a little extra, then it is best to submit to it first and then opt in to the other searches. The reason for this is because you can’t do it the other way around.
Oh, there you go…lol

And if you go to a fund first, then for free you can opt it into an LPS.

Lisa-
It’s been said many times – “The best way to have to ‘good’ ideas is to have lots of them.” That directly applies to what you are talking about. If you feel your idea is suited to say the Tech Innovation fund, but also maybe a great match for a specific LPS, then why not?
I’ll be doing the same. I have seen it posted on here before that some ideas were not right for both, but did fit better with just one.
Never carry all your eggs in one basket also applies as well. Enough clichés from me, trust your instincts! ; ) Best of luck!
