		<description>Kelly, that&#039;s a great question!  The first step is to decide who your target customers are, in a pretty broad sense.  Then talk to those people.  Find the places they hang out online and learn from them there, start conversations, see what they say.  If you want quantitative info, you can still do surveys on a budget.

Good luck to everyone!</description>

		<description>Question about primary research... got any tips for doing this before you have a company? If you don&#039;t already have a customer base to survey and learn from, where do you start when you&#039;re on a budget?</description>
