Develop a Target Market!

What tips can you give a startup e-businessman in terms of creating a target market?

What advise can you give e-businessmen on how to tap global clients?

My answer on how to develop a target market and tap global clients:

There are just a handful of tips you can use for a successful startup business and these can summarize as:

  • Work, work, work
  • Test all the time and tweaking your approaches, systems, tools
  • There are no shortcuts
  • Business is no poker is chess. You have to cover all your moves (even when you playing poker)
  • You should expect to have a long period without a significant move before the things are starting to go better (well)
  • Expect to assume all the roles in the company
  • Safeguard always your personal/business balance (keep an alarm to remind you that the working day has gone and now you should start your personal time. After all, you have to recharge your batteries)

Other than that I would suggest reading my 2 blogs: http://takisathanassiou.com/ and this one (the http://leadershipinitiative.biz/!)

You can also check the resources I have on my site (books and blogs in particular) at http://takisathanassiou.com/library/ and http://takisathanassiou.com/interesting-blogs/

I believe that especially useful would be the following posts:
