GoLimitless
Positivity, life lessons & wisdom via minimal design
- The Gumroad store now has 10 unique and minimal artworks
- Shared my 50th consecutive minimal visualisation on Twitter
- Started sharing my work on Instagram and Facebook as well
- 3500+ Twitter followers and 100+ on Instagram
- $0 on marketing so far. Lot of organic shared and responding to each person who interacts on Twitter, Insta or FB
- 400 Gumroad Customers
- 2500 Twitter followers
- Made mini visuals for 30 consecutive days
- Introduced artwork combos on Gumroad (if you buy 2 artworks you get 1 artwork for free)
$0 paid in marketing or paid outreach. All of this is organic through shares and retweets on Twitter and Gumroad discovery channels.
The best part was seeing people share the artwork hanging on their walls and desktops and mobile wallpapers. The goal is to spread positivity, life lessons & wisdom via minimal design and that seems to be working well.

That's really amazing. Could you share some of the general ways you got here through organic channels?

Couple of things that worked in the favour of golimitless
- sharing one visual everyday since I started on May 22
- In the quote that is visualised - I tag the person who said it and they share it
- It reaches a wider audience, they see the consistent work and mostly follow
- Next day they share the new artwork I post. Creates a nice loop.
Also the Twitter feed just has visuals one after the other and occasional links to Gumroad, so they can keep scrolling down till they reach end of feed. This style was inspired by David Perell where he talks about your twitter account being focussed on a particular style (which in my case is positive, life lessons and wisdom from some of the smartest people on earth)

The Gumroad account is for paid artwork (which includes posters and customised desktop and mobile wallpapers). The Twitter account is for sharing positivity, life lessons & wisdom from some of the smartest people on earth. Started sharing one visual each day on Twitter. Meanwhile within a week Gumroad crossed 250 customers.
Shared the Poster on Twitter with Naval's quote and tagged him on Twitter. He retweeted it and responded saying something on the lines of "The poster would be better if you make this minor change". Since then the Twitter Account was on fire and the Gumroad account as well. Never liked notification sounds before this, but the joy of your first set of sales is something different.
Saw a tweet by Naval which spoke about what does it takes to be healthy, wealthy & wise. I thought why not visualise this as a beautiful poster. I have been designing for thee last 12 years. The constraints I gave myself was that I can only use 3 colors - red, white or green to convey any idea. Made the poster - just black and white. Shared it with a few friends and everyone seemed to like the idea. Open a Gumroad and then GoLimitless was born.
