    I am a homeowner, and I was looking for guidance on color ideas. Maybe you could take photos of people's interiors and give them color suggestions for rooms, walls, furniture. I would have paid some money for that.

    It seems that you're interests are all over the place, which means that you're in need of a serious business plan. The retail and reselling market is always open for takers, though, and you only need to find your niche to build your business on. The process gets more involved, because you'll also outsource some aspects of your operations to third-party outfits (e.g. courier services). I'm from Australia and I use ship2anywhere for all my deliveries, and I can tell you the commitments are difficult to bear once the orders come in. Starting a business from home isn't as peachy as it looks like on paper; go for it, but keep your expectations realistic.

    So what makes you different from the 1000s of other wannabe craft businesses on Etsy.com?

    And if you're going to become a reseller, why should people buy from you instead of Amazon, or direct from the manufacturer like you did?

    You're doing this all wrong, but ok, let's say you get a bunch of answers saying that people buy hats. Then what? Do you have the money and connections needed to buy hats at TRUE wholesale prices, so that you can compete on prices? If not, it's rather pointless.
