Finding a vendor

• Try to find somebody with experience. An inexperienced person might be cheaper, but skill is an asset.
• If your project isn't high-tech or complicated, you could risk an inexperienced person, just because an expert will cost more because they are over-qualified.
• Find out where your vendor has worked. US Vendors are used to a competitive market, whereas 3rd world vendors might not have internet marketing skill. Find their previous clients and ask for a reference.
• Ignore the erroneous back story of the company and its founders. It tells you nothing about where the company stands today. You need to find out about the team and their experience. If they get angry or hostile by your questions, this is a bad company.
• Ask about extras such as SEO, Pay-per-click, banner and internet advertising, blog usage, internet press releases, email marketing, and viral marketing campaigns like games, freebies, or contests. Also check their training with client research, software documentation, user-interfaces, and product and e-commerce development.

Being an vendor

Thank each client and make them feel like you appreciate them. Try to be sincere. Ensure quality above and beyond what is required.

• If you borrow someone's code, make sure to let the client know that it's not yours.

• If you have no products or services, you could consider Assorted Affiliate Programs. You can market for people that have products or services, and you earn a commission this way. This job can also be applied with internet businesses.
