I just noticed last year in 2021, I have crossed the $1000 milestone with my digital products. It was way more difficult than I expected. It took me at least 8 months to reach this milestone by building the product from scratch and start the marketing.
I was definitively way too optimistic about the time reaching this ;) It was a huge learning along this journey and made a tons of mistakes. And here is the 4 strategies I have applied to cross my first milestone:
I don't know if you are interested, but I can detail all these 4 strategies and share it with the community: all my mistakes and learning.
Follow me on Twitter for the detailed strategy.
Your product - Premium Tailwind CSS Themes and Templates - is pretty solid. I can see how it saves with development time and I can quickly build something with it. You say you were "Doing Open Source", what does this mean? Your product is an open-source project or you utilize some open-source GitHub repo to build your product? I'd like to hear more about this, @ixartz.
Yes, the main goal is to save development and design time. I'm myself a developer who spent too much time in design and doing UI/UX research. So, the idea is to help other developers who don't want to do design and they can focus on their product.
I've have open sourced a small part of the project. Of course, it's difficult to draw a fine line between open-source and a paid/premium.
To make everything clear is here two open sourced projects:
The projects have is well received by the developer community. It has reached more than 1300+ stars on GitHub for Next.js Boilerplate and 500+ stars for the landing page.
It's only one channel of acquisition. I'll share more details about the other channel.
Congrats for this milestone. Would love to read how you achieved this!
Thank you! Stay tuned I'll share more in details!
Sure.
