I am an strictly a DIY girl with no ambitions to go into upholstery for a living and for my really "special" pieces I go to a professional for reupholstery. But I love looking at what other people are doing. So, where's the Opportunity?
I follow a blog called Design*Sponge, have for several years. It's fun and wildly creative, they're mostly into interior design trends, some clothing and food. Today, they announced that they are looking for someone to join their blog with a once a month column on upholstery.
To quote: "
...we're looking for an upholstery expert to join the team and write monthly tutorials on the various techniques for upholstering many different kinds of furniture. If you're interested in applying, please send us an email with some images of your upholstery work (including any tutorials you've written online) and a bit of information about yourself."

Having been following this forum for several years, too, I know there are a number of professionals here who would be great for this. Plus you'd get to promote yourself.
