So I've had an idea and while it is a long time off, I wanted to get a general idea from other ProMers and weather or not it could work.
First off, I would like to make it clear that this business (when or if it ever came to be) would only be a side business to my actual career.
So I want to be able to make money doing the things I absolutely love. Up until a week ago, that major focus was on fursuiting and mascotting. But after my first swim with my monofin I fell completely in love and I want to grow my sights into something of a general entertainment business. I am having a fursuit made of Sven the Reindeer for December and I want to eventually include other iconic characters. (I am working on the copyright issue and all that so please no lectures) but I was hoping that I could include mermaiding into that little business. For those professional mermaids out there, do you think it would work? Could a hybrid business like that work with both original and non-original characters?
And (because I didn't see it in any of the threads int he sub-forum that I looked through) how does one go about pricing their gigs and events? I am also curious how folks went about choosing their mermaid name or their business name. My cosplay name and Etsy/craft business is all under theAfancsLake but I am worried that's not a great entertainment business name and I don't want to do too many things under one name for confusion issues.
