<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Background</b>: So I'm an artist and have worked for several years trying to get some job security in the entertainment industry. I posted in here in 2015 in quite a desperate state. There's been a slight shift but overall I'm in a station where I'm facing a saturated job market and need an escape plan.<br />
<br />
So I started a side hustle that so far as yielded $0. But to be fair, I haven't properly started, just made a web site and put the feelers out. See I did some fan art that went viral just about everywhere I posted it. And people were asking for prints. So I thought I need to start a web site dedicated to that theme and make it a business.<br />
<br />
<b>Goal</b>: My goal is to be able to generate an annual low six figures from this business (I know of a few business savvy artists that have done this but they're at the top of their game) but to have the POTENTIAL to grow to more than that. That's key. I don't want a firm and low ceiling.<br />
<br />
<b>Basic premise of business</b>: I made a site. It sells a few prints based on 80s nostalgia (cartoons, movies, all the favs of that generation). I know that earning an income form online prints alone is a terrible idea, so I can boost this with going to conventions. But I want to expand into as many areas of 80s nostalgia as possible (clothing, collectible toys etc). The idea being that it's a place for those who miss their childhood to get a piece of it back.<br />
<br />
<b>Question/problem</b>: I know one of the core principles of building a sizable income is to solve a problem that everyone has and so I wonder just how popular this idea can be - can I only sell to those who were kids in the 80s? how big is my market? Does it sound too niche? and whether it does or doesn't, (<b>and here's my main reason for posting</b>) is there a way to make it bigger and keep it scaling so it appeals to more people?<br />
<br />
Ideas please!</div>
