It has become blatantly obvious to me that if I can't source my product, it doesn't matter how good my idea is. I have got to figure out a way to focus my search and get potential suppliers to give me the time of day. Maybe an affiliate relationship is a better way to get off the ground.

This also helps me understand about finding key words that will showcase the product. This article helped me to better understand some of the logistics of getting a business up and running.

If you already have a passion or brilliant idea, then that's your starting point for products and suppliers. If you haven't got a clue (like me!!) but are passionate about creating a business, then suppliers are a good place to start getting ideas. Nate also mentioned trade shows which I think is a brilliant idea, because not only do you have suppliers who want you to take their product, you also come across different new products. The site Nate gave us to find trade shows is www.biztradeshows.com and it gives details of shows throughout the world. I've already seen a few interesting shows in 2008 in countries which I've always wanted to visit - business and holiday at the same time!!!

That does not mean you should not be thinking about what you would do once you do find it. What is you competition doing with it? What are they not doing with it? Where do you think they may be getting it? If you do not have a supplier, you do not have product. That does not mean you should not be thinking about what you would do once you do find it.

Finding a niche is all about good keyword research. Trying to think of different ways people might be looking for the products you have access to. As I tell clients over and over again, you can do all the keyword and market research you want, but if you don't have a product to sell, all that research will be done in vain. For this reason, I think finding suppliers within and industry is definitely the first of the two priorities.
