I'd start a biz that incorporates all my hobbies. It would be a multi-level jazz/blues/live music club that would also be a bbq joint that has great whiskey/scotch/bourbon & cigars. It's probably not the type of biz that contributes a whole lot to society, but it would be fun! [over 15 years ago]

Establishing b2b (small retailers) and b2c online sales will create a benchmark to present to buyers at the large retailers. Most buyers want to see some sort of established sales history. It would help if the line served some niche market and/or had a unique point of interest, the clothing industry is a crowded one! Oh, it would also help to land a great publicist!

The publishing world is very fickle. There are a lot of independent publishing sales groups that you could work with (your initial print-run may determine how seriously these groups take you). Google book search is a free service. Also, create a website/blog and participate in related blogs (with a link back to your site). Significant reviews can be very difficult to get unless you have a great publicist. As mentioned earlier, obtaining an ISBN is essential. Sell the idea to US publishers. [almost 16 years ago]

Create fan "badges" on networking sites that link back to your page. Offer discounts to those in your fan club or on your friends list. Write hand-written thank you letters to clubs in which you played mentioning how much you enjoyed playing their club. Network with other/similar local bands. Just a few ideas to get you started.
