Two months sales
Jul 6^th, 2014, 4:10am

Just reached a new goal here and that is 60 days in a row with sales and 765 cards sold in that time. For a while I thought I would never reach it or even a week straight with daily sales but the growth in sales here has been consistent. For those who are newer here at GCU, you can get there if you put in the time. At first the amount of time required seems overwhelming and not to be worth it but remember once the cards are designed they will be there for years to come. The time required to develop a series at first seems long and pay back little but in time as the cards start to sell they seem sell more and more often and the payout for the time spent gets larger and larger.

I know that in comparison to you best sellers I am still one of the newbies here but it won't be long until my sales are up there too. A big thank-you for the reviewers who have help make it possible. Without them I would still be designing cards I thought were good but were not very marketable.

WOW! Michael, that's incredible. Fantastic news. Cheesy

Not so long ago we were talking about how many cards an artist needs to sell to reach the threshold. I can't remember how many you were on at the time . . . I just know that that's a huge leap forward from then.
Really encouraging for us newbies because sometimes, just like you've said, I feel the payback is not worth the amount of time I put in, but I'm not one to give up. I do enjoy seeing sales though, and they have been increasing dramatically each month too.

So a big thanks for sharing that, it really is encouraging.
Congrats, and for sure, you'll be up there with the top sellers soon at the rate you are progressing.

Carol
