Where IS everyone?

[Snoopy]

Easy. 1st, find a product or service you can provide that people will buy.  Keep your expenses low and prices competitive with other providers in your field. Being(or finding a way) able to provide said product or service better than your competitors(innovation and creativity come into play here).  Keep in touch with your customers regularly to get feedback on your product or service(would be AMAZED how many companies flunk on this one) - also gives you an early heads up to be able to correct any possible problems customers might be having with your products and services.  Word of mouth advertising from satisfied customers is probably the best, cheapest and most effective advertising you can do.  Expand your company as demand for your goods and services increases and is warranted.  When time is right, either offer stock in your company or accept a buyout offer from another company.  Take profits and start living the 'good' life.  ;D  Simple eh?    :-4
