Who Knows How To Start A Business? :(

[Helen Louie]

I need help. I've been meaning to make a business creating and selling furry attire online (shirts, fursuits, pins, buttons, hoodies, ect.) but I don't know where to start! I can purchase and make all of the product well and sweetly, but I honestly don't know how to sell, where to sell, or when!

If you can help, it would be amazing!

Sounds like a tier one business. I can help you as much as possible, message me? Unless you've already got it sorted out in which case good luck!

It sounds like you're dealing with a niche market. If I was trying to break into something like that, I'd start by going shopping. I'd figure out the easiest ways to find the niche product as a consumer, and then I'd tailor my strategy to those avenues. Wish I could be more helpful, but I guarantee a market that niche-y has its own standard avenues and norms.

very niche but if you sell neko eats, tail and bell you'll get some sales for cosplay.

Have some fun with it and well I am always ready to sign contracts

A lot of these things just start by opening an ebay/etsy shop and having a booth at cons. I used to help do something like this with Lego/brick jewelry a friend of mine made. Just make sure you're balancing your books. Remember: it takes money to make money. And if you're making enough of a profit, prepare for the taxes (assuming you're in the US). I'm not sure how that really works for tiny niche businesses like this but just make sure you have enough of a cushion (if possible) and have fun with it. [Member=Helen Louie]
