Please put some numbers in terms of working hours, cost per hour, revenues per hour and profit after deducting the costs of labor, marketing etc. well this can form the next step i guess.

Do let us know how that's going. My beloved iPod is getting dinged up in my purse as I type. I'm too cheap (er, frugal) to buy an actual case for it, but I might be convinced to support a blogger if her extra fabric suits my fancy. Don't forget to surf around eBay (or wherever else) to see what other people are already selling for iPod covers and how much they're selling them for. Best of luck! Excellent idea!

My husband lists his original art there. Then, go on a mass-marketing campaign and send pics/specs etc. to everyone who blogs about Ipods/cool tech gadgets. And everyone who does "cool crafty finds" kind of blogs - like FunkyFinds.Blogspot.com and MightyGoods.com. There are tons out there, looking for content every day, so they're usually receptive to submissions. Google blog search on "ipod" and "hand made gift" and "craft blog" and you find tons of great sites to market to. -Michelle Yes, absolutely list your skins on Etsy.
