Google The TOP 30 Sites

Go through each one of the sites that comes up. See what they are selling. Ask yourself if they have a clear message. Ask yourself what you would do differently. Then buy their product. Watch and understand their sales process. What did they do right and wrong. How would you do it differently?
Take notes on each of the sites. This will pay BIG dividends when you contact them directly to see if they would interested in doing a joint venture.
In order to succeed in this business you cannot operate in a vacuum. You must know what your competition is doing. You should also know and understand their sales process. When you get going in putting your site together, this will be a HUGE help in doing in right.
