You need to go out and find a hungry market AND you need to do this BEFORE you&#8217;ve even got a product.</p>
<p>Whatever you do don&#8217;t spend hours and loads of cash on developing a product if you don&#8217;t know who you&#8217;re going to sell it to.</p>
<p>This is the biggest mistake that many &#8216;future&#8217; internet businesses make. And I don&#8217;t want you to be one of those.</p>
<p>You need to find a group of people who have a problem or what some call an itch.</p>
<p>And this itch is so great that this group of people will pay good money to have that itch scratched.</p>
<p>You need to find a group that are hungry for information and have a strong desire for a solution to their problem&#8230; and when you do you&#8217;ll find it a whole lot easier to make money than if you&#8217;d already got a product that you were trying to fit to a market.</p>
<p>Internet Marketing doesn&#8217;t work like that.</p>
<p><strong>So how do you go about finding a hungry crowd?</strong></p>
<p>My advice would be to start off with something you&#8217;re already interested in. If you have some knowledge of a subject at the start then you&#8217;ll find it a lot easier to give advice and solutions. Plus you might be talking or blogging about this subject for a long time so you don&#8217;t want to pick something that&#8217;s going to bore you stupid in a month or two.</p>
<p>Been there done that <img src='http://www.richardpargeter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt="icon smile The Very First Thing You Should Do..." class='wp-smiley' title="The Very First Thing You Should Do..." /> </p>
<p>So always, always always&#8230; (do you get how important this is?) find a hungry group of people BEFORE you spend any time or money on creating or buying a product.</p>
