First Entry of the New Year! Looking into selling stuff online, halp?

Well. I'll start off with a list of things I want to accomplish and some detail-type things along with that.

 

1. Get mah license. Shan't be hard, as long as I pass my test. So that's to be done in February.

2. Be more active in Falador and TET. I need ideas for both. If you have something you think would make an awesome event or an awesome RP, PM me.

3. Get a job. (See below)

4. Not get seriously injured.

5. I guess that's pretty much it.

 

Regarding a job. This is what I'd like to do: Sell polymer clay charms and such artsy-fartsy type stuff online, through Etsy or summat like that. 2 problems. I'm not 18, and I don't know how to ask my parents about being able to do this, nor to set up an additional PayPal account to pay for the listings.

 

I've developed a good list of things I could sell, based on things I've seen on Etsy and DA. I did manage to talk to my mom about that, and she noted that most of the things on my list are copyrighted (mainly by Nintendo... :P) Obviously, I don't want the feds coming after me for selling some little knockoff Super Mushroom charms. So of my list there's like two things I could pull off as not copyrighted: tetrominoes (which still are pretty much Nintendo's) and jester hats.

 

So in preparing to post this, I've come up with another idea, that can't really be copyrighted by anyone as it's so proliferate. Medieval/Fantasy style weaponry armor, items, in the form of keychains, charms, smallish statue type things, etc. (Essentially things from RuneScape and D&D)

 

Regarding commissions: I'd rather not do that, at least not through DA. If I can arrange it through some other site, or Etsy, that would be okay though. I'm also slowly working on getting some experience with making chainmail so I can sell that too.

 

Has anyone had experience with this kind of thing or any recommendations on where I can get information? Advice on where to buy bulk materials is good too...
