Clothing is pretty popular. Now, I'm no expert in this field but I think it would take serious capital to create, unless you were some sort of affiliate. Try doing smaller jobs to raise the capital for the project.

Yeah theres about 10 posts here a week of people wanting to start up a clothing brand, Good luck.

Hi Jon, my advise is to test water by do it online first, instead of putting more capital in starting a store.....

It's simple, start with a blog site to trade what you want to sell. This has been made popular many years ago. And people are still doing it right now.

Just get the wordpress blog for free, then place pictures of your products online. Make sure its searchable by google and other search engines.

Usually, for the start, the hits will be very low. I will suggest you start with telling your friends about what you do, tell everyone you know.

You need to be so convincing that what you are doing is good. be it cheaper prices, I don't know. You have to find a selling point in what you do. I suggest you rehearse what you want to say in front of a mirror, prepare possible questions that your friends or relatives may ask you.

Have answers ready. Don't use politically correct answers. People can sense it. Just answer as confidently and honestly as you can.

An honest answer will make your customers come back again and again. A dishonest claim will only make sure they come to you the first time.

These are some tips I can share with you.

Word of mouth is a powerful weapon!
