Start Your e-Business Right! Copyright 2002 lessworkmoremoney.com By Armand Melanson Ever wonder why 90% - that's 9 of 10 - small business ventures fail miserably? And what was single successful entrepreneur's secret to success? The answer is so simple that it boggles mind! How can so many people miss it: SELL WHAT PEOPLE WANT! Crazy isn't it. But most people getting into business decide what they will sell without really considering how much demand there is. Always identify an existing market, then pick products & services to meet that demand!!! And today it's easier than ever to find out how much demand there is for a given product without spending a dime. You start by picking a target market like health, biz ops, security products, or whatever you are interested in selling. Once you have market picked, you identify 6-12 products which fit that market. Then you sit down & you write out most important keywords & phrases that people will likely use to find these products on web. Once you have your list, you're ready to test demand.
