Ask HN: how to do market research in the markets that you are new to?

3 pointsby whiteabout 12 years ago
I'm in customer discovery phase, building a product for eBay sellers, both professional and not.<p>However, I'm struggling to reach out to them - very few of my friends do it.<p>How do you reach out to markets that you are not in and/or very new to?<p>P.S. And if you are an eBay seller, please, please! let me talk to you for 15 minutes - I just need your Skype or phone # http://bit.ly/X2vIMA

Open eBay account. Contact sellers. Tell them about how product will make them more money. Offer free trial. Rinse and repeat.

Can you start off in a market that you are deeply familiar with? It takes way too damn long to break into a new market and understanding it to a point where you have an unfair advantage. At least if you start off with something you're already an expert in you'll have a leg up.
