Like jcommins recent post, I too am looking at the possibility of creating a website.
I am not much of a modern tech guy.... At 53, I use the internet plenty but am somewhat lacking in my knowledge of social media. I recently started posting video to Youtube primarily to document and show my repair of a wrecked diesel pusher coach to a relatively small group of like minded motorhome enthusiasts.
On a whim, I posted a crappy video of some custom fabbed RC truck parts I was making and now I have a few folks requesting to buy these parts. I am guessing I could probably make a nice little stash of "play" money by going forward with this small hobby business, but I am unsure on the best way to ease my way into it.
My "products" are small fabricated bumper and rock slider assemblies that the Scale RC Crawler guys seem enjoy spending their hard earned money on. Basically about $50 for a dollar or two of steel plus my labor.
I still have a LLC setup from my aircraft inspection/repair business.
I have a Paypal account.
I have a Youtube Channel.
I have a Facebook page.
I have all the equipment to build these parts.... My only "cost" is my labor and my wife's anger that I am taking on more "projects".
Trying to decide on whether to do some of the following as a start to test the waters without committing much time or money early on.
-Website?
-Etsy?
-Ebay store?
-Join and post in RC forums?
-Send free parts to popular RC Youtubers for review?
-Other ideas?
Probably a lot of ways to go at this... I guess I am still undecided at how deep I want to get with this as I won't be quitting my day job.
