How do I start a business pertaining to a clothing line (T-shirts, etc.) with my own artwork?

Websites?

1. I would recommend CafePress You will need to be able to convert your images to a .png in rgb color mode. Photoshop? They handle all the inventory, production, returns, etc... You set your markup where you want it to be. http://www.cafepress.com/proartshirts
2. I just know one, where I make my own little shop. Well, spreadshirt prints the shirts and sends to ur clients, that's the cool thing! But well, u won't get all the money! U can choose how much u want of the price of the shirt, cups, underwear, ... Here is my: http://lilyc.spreadshirt.net Nothing special yet, because I started it not long ago! It's in €, cuz I'm from Europe. I'm not sure if it also works for the rest of the world... xoxo
3. cafepress. I was in the same boat as you only a month ago. I had a lot of design ideas that I thought would sell but no way to present them to the public. Cafepress is free, or very cheap for a premium site. You just upload your designs, pick the product that it will be imprinted on and assign a markup. They handle the sales, finance, shipping, customer service and returns and cut you a check for the markup. They also provide some marketing and affiliate tools. I have made more sales than I expected and they are picking up as I am learning more about SEO and networking (which cafepress also has a lot of tutorials and stuff on). Check out my sight at: http://cafepress.com/skeetzteez and then start one of your own for free. If it works for you, get a premium shop and I will link you in on my t-shirt lens on squidoo: http://www.squidoo.com/cafepress/skeetzteez
