That is the easy and hard part. Price and availability is important. If money is not an issue then getting people to see your products and buy your products is not difficult. You can advertise on radio and TV and on some of the well known websites like MSN, GOOGLE and YAHOO to name a few. Since you do not have that much money you have to do this another way.

Business focus
It is not difficult to start an internet business and get on with your marketing campaign. You need to focus on what you are trying to achieve. Starting a business AND THIS IS A BUSINESS!

Therefore you need to look long term. Check out other internet successful business and find out what they are doing right.

You will receive hundreds of emails, informing you of the hundreds of different ways to achieve your goals! It can become so confusing that you tend to lose your focus. You have to discipline yourself. There is another Time management is and important factor in the success of your internet business. Put aside a set time everyday . This is important because some days you just won't want to do any thing. You might feel depressed or let down after spending time, effort and money and nothing seems to be going right!

If you have tried and tried and it does not seem to work, then maybe you need change direction and try something different, Do not throw in the towel and lament the fact that you have given it your best shot but nothing works. New ideas and new ways of doing things takes time and you have to stick around, if you do long enough you will begin to find your way through the fog.
