If you are serious find your market's trade association and plan on exhibiting at their annual and local shows.  This is where the buyers come in and find out about new products.  It costs a little but you can't find a better place to get your product in front of the buyers at one place.

Simple...ask people directly.  I usually say "I'm looking for people to work from home selling Avon".  Also, don't forget to ask your customers if they are interested in selling Avon themselves or if they know of anyone who would like to do so.  I find this approach helps.

Do a search on coffee futures and the commodity market.  These are the biggest buyers.

You should first find a competitive productive activity (manufacturing or natural resources) in your location and then try to establish a relationship with the providers, this activity may be, for example, artcrafts.  then you have to visit craftman in your location and show interest in buying their products.\n\nInternational clients are highly demanding, so you must carefully consider build a poll of providers that guarrantee you: quality, quantities and reliability.\n\nOnce you have selected the provider then you have the first half (but the most difficult is to come)  now you have to build trust in potential buyers abroad of the product you selected to export.\n\nIn my experience I founded very useful the help of my country embassy in other countries, as well as this I highly recommend you to build an online (and printed) catalog. You should be extra careful with details in those marketing materials, NO typos, no false statements, try to be as accurate as possible and, of course, try to have those materials in at least two languages. Also be ready with quotation templates and check the payment method best suits you. again trust is important in this regard.\n\nIn this stage you may find in statistics about export of your country (given in any Economy Ministery website) about top foreign countries that most likely buy the kind of products you choose to sell from your location, keep it simple but be persistent as it takes a lot of work to get the first order, however, once you start, yopu will be in one of the most lucratives activities of the world and prosper you, as well as your family.\n\nAs you don´t give further details in your question I assume that you are starting from scratch, so, don´t worry, try to strenght relations with your friends and family, and the friends of your friends and the family of your family, try to find in your personal network those fellows that may help you connect the chain (find the best provider or find the first client) in any case prepare your selling speech for each case and be ready to show leadership and motivation, remember that doing business is a human activity and in involves inter-personal relationship skills.\n\nAlso, remember to keep it simple, export follows the same principle of local selling, you buy as cheap as possible and sell as expensive as possible (your profit will be the difference)\n\nbuy cheap and sell expensive (but be fair in both sides)\n\nDon´t kill the gold eggs chicken by trying to get all the eggs at once, keep you baance and try to not be so greedy.\n\nBeware of international scams!.  In my website www.somosnegocios.com  I have many recommendations for doing business internationally, check in the FAQ section, If you have further questions feel free to ask me.\n\nBest regards\n\nAlejandro

Go around to all the fisbo in your town and ask them if you could bring them a buyer that would net them the same, could you list their house. Call all the landlords that are advertising apartments for rent in the newspaper and ask them if they would be willing to cash in on all the hard work they have done on their property. Personal observation will be your number one source of leads.

I have a GREAT idea.  What you do, is you post a question like "why is no one buying our products?" on a place like "Yahoo Answers" and then when someone opens your question, post the URL of your website so that the schmucks who who see it will go to it and buy your product....  (Oh wait, you've already tried that.....)

A few ideas: \n\n1) Flyers & Business Cards - Who are your customers & where do they shop (e.g. grocery, home improvement stores, etc)? Post flyers where your customers frequent.\n\n2) Advertise Locally -- Newspapers, Craigslist, Yahoo! Local\n\n3) Word of Mouth -- Offer a great service & people will talk.\n\n4) Mailers -- Send out coupons, specials, etc.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Make a trip to these countries and get to know some buyers in person (of course after taking appointment) which will easily impress the buyer. No one otherthan the stakeholder can do a good job. Believe me its my experience.
