Sheesh, you and your homie are EATING man.
I'm at $1,100 in profit for December with 940 live. Was going hard with uploads until early November than trailed off, but the Christmas merch is moving.
Questions for you
maldonado
1) Are you using AMS ads to drive sales?
2) Where are you researching your designs?
3) What would you say is the most important thing(s) you did to scale up this year?
1. I was using AMS for one set of Christmas designs, that was it. I did decent, ended up spending about $100 and gross sales was about $1,100.
That was the only AMS I really ran.
Everything else, and the bulk of my sales, are all organic.
2. I am doing my research on Amazon, merchresearch.com, etsy, any of the big retailers (Gap, etc), pretty much anywhere and everywhere I can get ideas.
I am mostly just looking for niches, my most successful stuff lately, is stuff I am coming up with. So I will find a hot niche then come up with my own phrases or whatever. I did really well for Christmas, with both Christmas-focused designs and evergreens that are most likely presents for people into those specific niches.
3. Most important thing was honestly just working the account consistently and learning what didnt work and what did. I think just keeping at it, being resilient despite the growth being dumb slow at times, and just continuing to enter new niches, and continuing to keep trying to find successful designs. That experience, really is nothing better than that. I was determined to make it work and wasnt going to let anything stop me. Sounds cliche but I just wanted it bad man. Im still hungry, Im serious when I say that Im trying to build it to $10k minimum, on the pre-Q4 months. Then Q4 I can expect 2-3 times that, at least.
Its just my first stream, going to concentrate heavy on etsy in 2019 to make it my second revenue stream.
6 figures is the goal.
Off t-shirts. lol **** still trips me out sometimes.
I was curious how much Lique designs makes. Excellent illustrations. Is it just one person or a team?
So its literally one dude that owns the account and all of the designs are outsourced.
He has like 3 designers working full-time for him.
Dude is a legend already lol
2 years in the game, half a milly profit.
And his **** is only growing, he will legit be doing an M annually here soon.
I talk to him daily, he is in my private Slack group.
thats what keeps my hungry.
The beautiful thing is any of us can do this.
