Get to know SL a little first before diving into some 'buisness'.
You'd probably fail if you leap without looking.

The same as you would in RL:
1. Have a skill that is needed/wanted
2. Learn your market and do research
3. Make a business plan
4. Work hard
5. Work some more
6. A little more research just to be on the safe side
7. Work
8. Voila! Overnight success.
Best,
~Ari

The only real difference between making a living in SL and doing it in real life is that the initial cost of developing a product is lower, and the cost of duplicating and storing and transporting merchandise is effectively zero, after it is developed.
It still takes skill, talent and hard work to design a product that other people want to pay for.
It still takes effort to advertize, and you still have overhead for the cost of maintaing a store location.
In short, learn enough about SL to learn what people will pay for. Learn the skills to produce things they will pay for, and then create a business around that work.

Now, since this is the Building forum, if your intended question was "how do I build a retail location?", that depends a lot on what you're selling. A clothing store is greatly different from an aircraft sales store.
