Message: im about to start tie-dyeing for selling and i need some strond advice on how to start how to get pple to buy them and get interested thanks

You can start by selling a few items on eBay, but it is very important to learn more about how to run a small business. This is not my area of expertise. (I have a day job as a scientist.)

A key point is finding a way to price your goods high enough to pay for not only your costs but also your labor, taxes, health insurance, etc., yet low enough to sell.

I think that baby clothes and socks are easier to sell than t-shirts, but you may find this not to be true for you.

Do not use "all purpose" dye, whatever you do, as the results are poor and impermanent.

Try a web search on "running a small business".

Good luck.
