BellaOnline Forums Career Business Owners Selling My Wares

I'm not sure this is the right forum to post this in, but I wanted to get some ideas or direction.

I restore or rebuild older (mid-century) lamps and do ceramic tiling/mosaic tables. I have done some pretty big tiling projects. (I am not a tiling novice, but not a professional. I have done two whole bathrooms, a couple of backsplashes, a tub/shower enclosure, a floor, some tables and counters, etc., etc.)

I want to make this into a modest business. I would prefer to make lamps or tables at my house and sell them somewhere else.

Where do I sell these things? How many do I need to make to get started? I can't see that I could make reasonable money selling at consignment stores or ebay, which would be the easiest venues. I would not make enough to pay myself even $10 per hour in the "easy" places.

Any ideas or discussion would be appreciated.

Maybe you could try other online outlets such as e-commerce shopping malls, your own online store, etc...There are similar stores to ebay but they are online malls, there is one I believe called Ruby Lane. Tias collectibles also has web-stores that you can have.
You could also try craft fairs, craft sales, etc...

Hope this helps.....
