Ok so I shipped my first order to someone who responded to my crappy youtube video. I set up my Paypal to accept money and it went smoothly. Shipped using the local post office.

I now have a second customer via my youtube video. I think to start, I am simply going to create a new email with my business name and then make a little better video with it by starting out stating that I am selling these parts and to contact me via this email address if interested in placing an order. I may also create and provide links to a new Facebook page showing pictures of the product.

This should get me a little business to let me ease into this and figure out best manufacturing techniques. Am guessing this might be a reasonable plan of attack to test the waters without investing too much time, energy or money.

If I end up enjoying this side business, I can then go further with a website and explore other e-commerce ideas.

Thanks to all who have commented here and for the phone call with Brando!
