What I'll be selling is small home decor items (a combination of commercially available items from a supplier and home-made woodcrafts). I tried once about a year ago to start a webstore through Homestead but totally flopped due to my lack of knowledge of internet marketing. I'm now getting more knowledgeable of affiliate programs, etc. One of my biggest questions I have on my mind right now is how long it may take to get orders coming in so that my sales will at least cover my costs.

Thanks for your help!
