The Stages

Product Development
The first and foremost thing is have to your product. It is assumed that market research has been done, competitors have been figured out and the revenue generation module has been thought of and well surveyed.
Then comes, the phase of product planning. The rule is simple, be one step or atleast at par to your competitor. If you fail this step, you have failed in your venture.
Product Development should be as per product planning. Not this is important point. Don’t run from technical issues. Deal with every micro issue with full details.

Creating Up Front
What actually is upfront. It is not necessarily a fake series of steps you need to take or implement which involves brand building stag. Win some innovative venture of the year etc. prizes or do whatever according to your product. But building a product upfront is whole lot important than your marketing and promotion.

Marketing and promotion
You know better than me. You wouldn’t have been reading it otherwise. But my experiences say people dive into this stage very much earlier because they are impatient to see the result of their innovation. But if you have confidence in your product, go with the proper stages.

Reseller opportunities

I was just looking for domain reseller opportunities and came across several nice opportunities in resellers as general. Just wanted to blog on these.

Computer Resellers
www.inetstart.com have come with a good concept of reselling hardwares from your front end. You will obtain a reseller license after which you can contact merchants and as you get an order, you just call the merchant and they ship to your customer with your company's name. The concept has not been implemented in India but doing well in US, UK and Canada.

Domain Resellers
Buy a reseller account from any hosting company like godaddy. You need to pay an initial money and will receive commission from each domain purchase from your front end. I needed a small hosting reseller opportunity too along with the domain reseller. But what godaddy is providing is too much for the general customers, so I haven't still purchased domain reselling till now. The basic plan costs $99 per year. If they would have given small hosting reseller opportunity too, I would have definately chosen it.
Currently I am looking for reseller club. and yeah no need to mention google adwords resellers
