Advertise yourself. Make some /shout macros with what you carry and where you're located, and hit one any time you enter a town, preferably near large groups of folks. I did that a lot at first, I also advertised on my servers message board, and then word of mouth has done wonders.

Seek out those who craft, buy from them.

Ok this is how you do it: first get a house and put i vender in it then but up all then items in the vender that you wish to sell. Next type /who to see what people are in the area, then you do mass e-mails to the poeple that are on, you can send the same e-mail to multiable poeple at once by typing their names in the name box followed by a ( after each name exsample; thor;tom;ann;athena;tim; etc....you can get about ten names in this way also include the name of store and what you sell with waypoint to it.


Anther thing is when you get new stock in you got to town and shout that your store has the following new items instock.


I did this when i first open my store then the next day i made 30k in sale, the day after 40k you do the mass e-mailing a few times but not to the same poeple and your bank account will grow. after you I did that all the rest is by word of mouth. just last night i give some of my costomers free guns due to a bug in the game, that sometimes the gun would disappear on them but if they relog most of the time it would come back, but I give them free guns anyways, so that they'll be a repeat costomer.


I even have poeple from another planet sending me tells saying that so and so referedthem to meguns. I have also hired a smuggler to upgrade my guns for 20k and some free guns. I would also give a free gun out to someone if they help me find the minerals i need, and they always come back to buy other guns from me.


Last night along now that i have a good costomer base i made 95k in sales for one day.
