This is a truly major milestone for me. I didn't think I would be able to grow Logo Package Express to 1000 in less than a year. It's been half that amount of time and I am astounded.
One of my affiliates helped me share the news (and get a few sales). Their posts said, "1000 designers can't be wrong." I thought that was so awesome.
I owe 90% of my success to my wonderful affiliates. Their ranks are growing every week. They genuinely believe in my product and do a great job promoting it to their audiences. I've got bloggers, YouTubers, podcasters, and Instagrammers. They all bring something unique to the table.
Thanks to them and my customers, I have left all of my contract work and am running The Logo Package full time. I'm working about 12–20 hours a week and it feels incredible.
I put a lot of time and effort into my customer service. Fortunately, the inbound requests are not so prolific that I can't handle them alone. I find that responding as quickly and nicely as I can has a really positive and reinforcing effect. Don't be greedy, and don't be a jerk I guess.
I've given away a fair number of copies of Logo Package Express for free as well — just to make that extra impact, or make things that much easier for someone.
