Today on StartupSmart, we have a tale that will be frustratingly familiar to many new product-based businesses.

OzHut founder Wai Hong Fong found it hard to convince suppliers to provide him with the products he needed to get his niche retail websites off the ground.

Fortunately, he managed to get the ball rolling with some smaller suppliers, which enabled him to pull in some of the bigger brands. Today, he explains how he did it.

Elsewhere, web strategist Adam Franklin outlines how email and social media can work in tandem for your business and we have news of a new multi-million dollar fund aimed at start-ups.
