When developing a new product, most people neglect the market until they have something solid to sell. But that's the wrong way to go about it.

The market should be your primary concern if you want to have a prosperous business. You need to locate a community of people who are actively seeking answers to these issues but are thus far coming up empty.

Online market research can be carried out and issues can be identified with the help of the internet. Here's an example:

One way to learn what people are searching for and discussing is to peruse online discussion groups and social media sites.
