I need to study the area, the nearby locality as what is their average purchasing power. Are they interested in purchasing books or copies or most of them are illiterate and they won't purchase it.

True, most Small businesses today tend to make this mistake. They make research on their target audience after they have setup the business, instead of making this research before the business setup.

That is true, they are making a big mistake. It would be better for them to specify their target market so that they can have a thorough launching of their new business rather than to do it first which is crucial.

For home based businesses, it is easy for competitors, government agencies to divert or steal orders, so the revenues remain low despite the business owner spending a lot of time and money marketing.

It is a must to do research first before starting your business to know the target market and the needs of the people in the community where your business will be installed.

The most important thing you need to consider is whether the product and service you intend to sell has a market or not, you also need to see if the market is over saturated.

It is better to know the target market if they are potential buyers and it will be known through research where we will know the answer. As soon as get the data and the target market is the right answer, then proceed.
