Your first step in creating your on line business is a mental one. You have to realise that if the product you are about to sell is not of any use to anybody, nobody will buy it! Yes I know it sounds simple but it’s a complete waste of time so go through all of the process of finding a product, setting up a web site, creating links and blogs and learning valuable sales techniques only to finally realise that ‘Yes The Arab States Might Not Need Any More Sand!’
What you need to remember is your goal. That must be to supply your product to your customer on time, and in good condition so that you can be paid your selling price. This has to happen time after time, otherwise you are wasting your time.
So how do you know if someone wants your product? At this point it is probably a good time to refer to the KISS principle – Keep It Simple Stupid! Remember KISS, the easiest way of finding out if some one wants your product is to ask them. Don’t forget that you have the most powerful information tool in the history of mankind at your fingertips – the Internet! Look at your niche (market) and go onto forums or chat rooms to ask if people are interested in your product. Just think how many people are connected to the World Wide Web; latest estimates are that 1 Billion people are online. With that kind of market penetration you are bound to get answers to you questions.
