6 sale in first 72 hours - TailwindCSS Library


I just opened my site recently for beta user on July 15 after much thinking. I didn't wanted to start selling before making a solid product. But over the years I heard this advice again and again about the importance of selling. The sooner you start selling the better because people tell their honest opinion when they spend money on your product and I didn't wanted to build something that nobody wants. So to get feedback from users early on and guide my business accordingly I decided to start sale very early with a huge discount.

So I opened up the beta on July 15th and I got two sales on the first day. I don't how many time I have visited the dashboard to see those number. Its a feeling I can't describe in word. The next day I got 3 more sales and another on the third day. By no means this are any extra ordinary number, but it is very special to me. Now that I've paying customer means I've got skin in the game and I'm more committed than ever.

Here to the next 6 or 6 thousands.

    "By no means this are any extra ordinary number, but it is very special to me. Now that I've paying customer means I've got skin in the game and I'm more committed than ever."

    That's what it is all about! 🙌

    And
    "I don't how many time I have visited the dashboard to see those number"

    I still remember this from the early days when I just launched our app, I was glued to the dashboard 😅

    Looks so cooool!

    I see you've put a lot of work into it.

    I bought it. $35 is lifetime access right?

      No, its a yearly subscription based service. You'll get all the components that are released within the subscription period and have access to them for lifetime and will get any updates that are made on those components. But any components that are released after the subscription period you will not get those new components. Hopefully this answer your question. If you have any question please let me know.

    Congratulations on reaping the first few fruits of your labor!

    I believe there's so much opportunity for premium templates like this. It's definitely a great market to dip ones toes into. I'm planning on doing the same kind of thing, but for social media video. :)

    Congratulations! I have been working on a premium UI library since november 2019, however, I stopped working on it at the beginning of 2020 and started some other side projects, had to work and had to take exams, etc. Your post is really inspiring me as I started to continue working on my ui library few weeks ago!
