Some sources of information:\n\n1. Industry association - they often have papers or studies about the industry\n2. Bureau of Census - you can check the retail surveys they have for information on the sales generated by the industry\n3. Books on the topic - check with your library for books on the specific industry you are interested in\n4. Websites such as Bizstats.com and other free industry information\n5. Trade magazines - check freebizmag.com, amazon.com or tradepub.com for listings of magazines in particular industries\n6. Attend trade shows - go to tsnn.com for listings of trade shows in that industry and if possible, attend so you can meet with industry players, manufacturers and suppliers. Often trade shows have seminars that talk of industry trends, among others\n7. Buy market research reports - expensive with many selling upwards of $650 but they are often comprehensive

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.\n\nI recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.\n\nAssociations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links. \n\nResearch, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:\n\n* Start Your Own Crafts Business (Entrepreneur Magazine's Start-Up ; Guide #1304) by Entrepreneur Press\n* How to Start a Home-Based Craft Business, 4th by Kenn Oberrecht\n* The Basic Guide to Selling Crafts on the Internet by James Dillehay\n* The Crafts Business Answer Book & Resource Guide: Answers to Hundreds of Troublesome Questions About Starting, Marketing, and Managing a Homebased Business Efficiently, Legally, and Profitably by Barbara Brabec\n\nThere are plenty of free informational resources out there.
