#5) There are products that work well on Internet and there are those that don't work well at all. Consider following as general rules to consider:

a) Your product or service must be generally appealing. Selling plugs for igloos would probably appeal to only a handful of people where selling a hat with built-in sunglasses would be more universally appealing.

b)You must make a product or service that is not easily available in your prospects community. If you try to sell dish soap on Internet, I doubt you would have many takers. It's available in every store in every city in America. There must be a distinct advantage in buying from you. Being unique and hard to come by is best reason.

Your price can be another reason but obviously only if it is less than your competitors. Another reason for them to buy from you would be a bundled offer. An example would be if they buy left-handed screwdriver they would receive left-handed wrench for free.

c) Your product must be easy to ship. Although Pre-Built Houses are shipped across nation you would agree that shipping hat with built-in sunglasses would be far easier for you as well as being inexpensive in comparison.

d) Remember to do your research. Do it carefully and do it completely. Know what your market is and how large it is. Find out who your competitors are and what they offer. If they’re already your competitors they have a head start. Don't try to compete on level ground with them. Find your unique advantage and exploit it. Decide what makes you different, what makes you better and then make sure customer knows it to.

One last thing. You cannot charge for something that is already on Internet for free. That means if you picked up an article, eBook, program for do-dad for free don't expect to make a killing by reselling it. Here again best idea for making money is something you have full control of. The article you wrote or program you design or product you've built is way to make your money on Internet.

11.When giving someone your business card, you may want to consider giving them two – one to keep and one to pass on.

12.Try and find something you can do for people you are talking to. Do you have a contact you can pass on that might help them with a problem they have? Do you know a good supplier who is just what they are looking for? People will remember you as friendly and helpful.

13.If you make a good contact at an event, make sure you follow it up. Send them an email, make a quick phone call – it doesn’t matter how you do it but always, always follow up.

14.Don’t forget about online networking. Join some business forums, put up some posts. You’ll start to recognise some names and you may find that they are going to an event you will be attending which gives you a head start as you know someone already before you walk through door.
