I plan to start my own tutu head band bows, handmade clothing store/site but I dont know where to start it. Should I go with myspace and just add as many people as I can to get it going or should I post on craigslist or ebay? Which would get me a better outcome? I could start with both myspace and craigslist. Is that a good idea? I plan to have my own website down the road but it takes a lot to set-up and I dont want to do that unless I know I can make some money at it. I may also try a few stores in the area to see if they will sell my stuff. Id eventually like my own store that is my products plus second hand stuff.
      Answer1:if you have a plan of less investment I think start from myspace and ebay is a good idea. Also if you have products stock you can try to sell to your local stores. Put your idea into real with more ways and then the choice will be more clear.....good luck to u..
      Answer2:Hi,There is so many elements in starting a business it will be hard to add them all to this answer, but Ill give it ago.First out myspace when looking at it from a business point of view is for networking. The first link is to an article on social networking.Craigslist is great for bring in web traffic, but you need a website and/or blog to send that web traffic to. The next link is to a free service with an e-store, blog, etc..Will your product sell?I just check your market for tutu headband bows and found that there are a large amount of people out there willing to buy them, which is good. However, the amount of businesses that are already supplying that market area is massive. This means competition will be very hard.The next link below will be an article on niche marketing. Once you read that, the following link will be Googles keyword search. The idea here is to type in a keyword like "tutu headband bows" and see how many people search that term a month. If the number is high then you know that people want your product. Now, with google keywords you will note that there is a green bar next to the keyword, the lower the green bar, the lower the competition, thats what you want!After I just look through the keywords myself I saw that information on how to make tutu is huge, and there is very, very little competition in that market area. If you Know about how to make them, write an ebook and sell it at $47 per book or higher. Its an open market there. Web trafficYour business product and/or service is nothing without people coming to your e-store and buying, so you need to look at SEO, article marketing, PPC, Youtube, Blogging, email marketing. The next links in line will help you.And just the finish off, the last link is on marketing <- you need to read all of this one.I hope this helps :)
