Ask HN: Please validate my business idea.

1 points by springboard ↗ HN
Concept:

  - You upload a photo along with a little slug line. 
  - We convert it to artwork (example here:  http://bit.ly/1ZsJhXd ), 
  - We print out a large high quality poster and ship it to you in a mail tube. 
  - Price is USD 15 + shipping. Delivery anywhere in the world.
This is more to achieve a steady monthly income to pay the rent than become a big business. My Questions:

  - 1. Should i do a mobile app or a website? 
  - 2. Can this business generate USD 10,000 per month in gross revenue? (That's selling about 600 posters a month)
  - 3. Is the pricing right?
(My earlier post did not gather enough feedback. Much sorry for repeat)

What distinguishes this from existing poster creation companies?

how will you market it? to me a 1 off product like this is hard to make money. I would start with a marketing channel and build out a test ad or whatever and go back wards from there.
