I thought it would be good to start off the year with a refresher. For the past eight years, I've made it my mission to catalog every short-form DRTV project attempted (scimark.blogspot.com). This has allowed me to maintain a list of good categories and bad categories based on DRTV history.
Good Categories
1. Cooking/Kitchen
2. Apparel
3. Garden/Yard
4. Hair Removal
5. Pets
Bad Categories
1. Phone/Tablet Accessories
2. Plush Toys'

4. Cleaning2
5. Hair Accessories3
