Do you really want to sell to everyone in the world, or does it make sense to be a bigger fish in your local pond?

The first thing you need to do is evaluate your idea to see if people want what you have to sell.

Next: Research the competition.

Finally: Use this information as you develop your own online presence.

Barbara will show you how to gather that information, and what to do with it, as she shares 10 simple steps for developing your own online presence, with practical tips you can start using right away.
