Help me to start with a sewing machine / monograms ... What do I need?

I spent a lot of money recently monograms custom to be sewn into the fabric for gifts, etc. Usually, I buy on eBay. What would I need to buy all this myself? Obviously, a machine sewing (which model / brand?) is also a program or how to get the monogram of the web? also small images? I guess it's simple to do and simply buy a kind of model? I thought if I bought a sewing machine that I could learn to do monograms and eventually have my own online auction store eBay and selling custom. Please let me know everything I need to buy and how much. Thank you!
