Is your focus strictly in the online market? It really depends on how long it will take for sales to pick up on what group you are marketing to and how hard core you persue marketing your product. Do you have your own site or are you using an avenue such as ebay or cafepress? One of the effective ways I have found to market my product is I create promotional t shirts complete with my contact information as well as events I am capable of servicing. I am also sure to place on their custom work is available. Then I make them a major part of my and my families casual wardrobe
