I was thinking about going through flea markets and buy antiques from clueless boomers and resell to collectors on eBay but Im too brainlet to have an eye for historical pieces and art.
I know there are sets of dishes that grannies get rid of that are actually rare brands sought after by collectors but I can't tell which

Many many many other people do this who actually DO know what to buy and resell. I'd look for ventures elsewhere if you do not have any of the knowledge to start with.

>go on alibaba
>find some clothes that look decent or some other fucking product that you think many actual, real people demand
>check jewbay or amazon that there aren't a trillion other people selling that product
>order the items from alibaba, should be super cheap as it's wholesale
>slap a markup on the bullshit you've bought and sell it

Just don't buy twatty trending stuff as they aren't sustainable (eg fidget spinners) and make sure your costs aren't higher than your fucking revenue.

You have to provide a good or service that the marketplace currently lacks, but seeing as you have no idea what to do, you have to take an existing idea and provide it in a place where the average consumer has limited access to whatever the good/service you're providing is. In short, sounds like you want to open a franchise. Pretty easy as everything is already laid out for you, you just have to fork over the money to do it.

I have a solid business plan. It will require some woodworking. Once I create some product, what’s the best initial step to start advertising? Make a website?

Advertising seems like a meme these days, just have a decent social media following. A website seems like a good start I suppose.

it doesn't matter how you start because you're probably going to make enough mistakes starting out that if you had the perfect plan/idea, it would just be wasted.
So start anywhere.
Also, you need to know some really basic accounting (or whatever these are:)
variable & fixed costs
breakeven analysis
cash flow
here's a free idea, too. If there are any events in your area coming up where there's a lot of people walking around in the heat, you can go to the warehouse store and buy a bunch of small bottled waters and then go sell them to hot thirsty people for a markup. This type of thing is a good hands-on way of getting XP.
(also, for every idea you come up there will be normies telling you why it won't work or it's not allowed. Laugh at them. Do your idea anyway.)

people always forget to support their lower backs. of course you can protect your knees but your back will hurt after kneeing and sucking for hours. also the jar muscles will get tired so better buy one of those gagging tools that keep your upper cock hole open and also make it available for penetration. think about grindr as your one and only marketing channel.
