For those of you who curious, you may be wondering why I'm starting a thread about starting a sock company when I previously made threads and informed people about me publishing my own book.
To make a long story short, for about 2-3 years now, I've been cultivating and dreaming about starting my own sock company. I have a great sized niche that I know i can succeed in, and I have a theme, and product design idea that i know will sell!
I've never been more sure that this is what I want my first venture to be. I rather start something that I believe in, and I have a passion for...Rather than doing something that brings me no joy nor excitement just for quick bucks (self publishing).
I have tons of great ideas that i have been cooking up over the years for my socks, and I plan to scale them out of this universe, have them be sold everywhere. With that being said, it brings me to step 1.
I'm currently applying for jobs so that I can start to reach out to wholesalers to buy socks, find graphic designers that can help with my design ideas, find manufacturers that can take the design idea and have them made on my socks, to see if they come out to my liking.
I have $0 but that doesn't trouble me, During my other threads I was given fantastic advise from you guys, so im just gonna focus on the HOWS and not the cants. With my job that I pray to be getting soon, I will save up my money to hire some graphic designers to create some designs for me.
From there I will find some whole sellers. I'm not sure if I go to manufacturers to get the socks designed or whole-sellers, but I will figure it out.
From there I will try to work out a deal with the manufacturers/whole-sellers to get around 10-20 socks made. I will use these socks to sell online, not really for money, but to get feed back from my target market peers (peers meaning my target market is a community i am also apart of).
I'm not sure where to go from there, or what steps I'm missing, but I don't care, i will figure it out.
Whatever advise or resources you guys think I will find helpful will be extremely appreciated.
This is honestly the first time in a long time since reading TMF , that I've developed such a fire in my belly to work and make my dream come true!
Any and all feedback would be appreciated guys!
