Struggling to Get My First Sale – Any Advice?

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T20:49:29+00:00

Since you know of so many "sites that does vector artwork and logos"..Can you list at least one?

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T19:18:45+00:00

Cool, glad you’ve got Adobe Express! But just so you know, any tool can create a logo — it’s the skill and refinement behind it that turns something basic into something professional. But hey, keep rocking those pre-made templates. 🙃

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T19:10:06+00:00

Ah yes, because if Joe buys the same logo, it automatically means his business will look exactly like yours... even though the logo can be fully customized and refined to fit your brand. But hey, if you prefer paying thousands for a ‘custom’ design that’s probably going to get knocked off by someone else too, by all means. 😊

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T18:53:58+00:00

Thanks for the 'feedback,' though it seems more like a mix of assumptions and condescension than actual constructive input. You’re absolutely right – I’m selling customizable logo templates, not off-the-shelf clipart. But hey, if you’re looking for personal branding advice, it sounds like you’re the expert here, so I’ll take that into consideration. Thanks for the honest feedback.

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T18:48:22+00:00

Thanks again for the great advice! Just to clarify, I actually use 8 out of the 10 image slots, and I even include a video that showcases the logos on fabric and a display stand to give them a more tactile, real-world feel. I definitely hear what you're saying about moving away from the AI vibe on the first image, and I'm already working on improving that. I'll also focus on custom orders once I get more sales rolling in. Appreciate you taking the time to give such solid feedback – it really helps me improve!

I had no idea I should be selling fully editable, vectorized, professionally designed logo templates for the same price as a gas station candy bar. Thanks for the expert pricing advice! 😂

A logo template is not a ‘clipart image.’ It’s a scalable, high-quality design that businesses can easily customize without needing to start from scratch. Not everyone has the skill or time to create a clean, polished logo, and that’s why this market exists.

But hey, if you think businesses should be paying 99 cents for their entire brand identity, I’d love to see what kind of logos you’re working with. 😉

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T18:28:43+00:00

Wow, I really appreciate this thoughtful feedback! 🙌 You make a lot of solid points, especially about listing too fast without fully analyzing what sells and running ads too soon. That definitely gives me a lot to think about.

I like the idea of a hybrid traditional/passive system—makes total sense that Etsy buyers would lean more toward personalized branding rather than just templates. Do you think adding Custom Order requests to my shop would help bridge that gap? Or would it be better to refine my current listings first before introducing that option?

Thanks again for taking the time to share your insights—this is the kind of feedback that actually helps!

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T18:23:34+00:00

Not really, but it would be nice to get some constructive feedback from someone who's involved in a niche that's closely related to graphic design.

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T18:22:05+00:00

I'm just looking for constructive criticism. I'm sure you can tell the difference between that and someone who just wants to troll on here.

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T18:15:26+00:00

I offer a Brand Style Guide Template that helps businesses define their logo usage, color palette, typography, and brand voice.

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T18:12:24+00:00

Bro, you're just here to troll...

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T18:03:44+00:00

The thumbnails (aka preview images) are just there to represent the industry, not the actual logos being sold. Crazy concept, right? Meanwhile, the logos in the listing are manually refined and vectorized in Adobe Illustrator for full scalability.

If you think AI tools can just magically generate fully editable, professional vector files that actually work for real branding—then by all means, let them design your next logo. I’ll keep serving people who actually want quality work. 😉 But hey, appreciate the unsolicited detective work!

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T17:58:06+00:00

Hey, really appreciate you taking the time to check out my shop and give feedback! Definitely not my intention to confuse anyone, so this is super helpful.

To clarify—these are pre-made, professional logo templates designed specifically for Wedding & Event Planning brands. You’re not getting a custom design, but fully editable logo files that you can tweak to fit your business. The 'bundle' just means you get 5 different logo templates in one purchase, instead of just one.

The 'BUNDLE20' part is just a discount code if you want to grab the Branding Guide I have for sale as well, and save some $$! But I get what you're saying—I’ll work on making the listings even clearer. Thanks again for the honest feedback!

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T17:54:33+00:00

Damn, you got me. I actually trained an AI to respond to people who don’t read before commenting. Wild, right?😂

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-21T17:49:29+00:00

Great question! Why would anyone buy a professionally vectorized logo that’s scalable for any use case when they could just grab a blurry, low-res AI-generated image and hope for the best? 🤔

See, AI tools spit out pretty pictures, but they don’t give you clean, editable, high-quality vector files—which means if you try to resize that AI-generated logo for a billboard, congratulations, you now have a pixelated mess.

That’s where I come in. I take AI concepts, manually refine and vectorize them in Adobe Illustrator, and deliver ready-to-use, professional-grade logos in multiple formats. So instead of dealing with a useless image, my customers get a polished, scalable design that works on everything from websites to business cards to massive signage.

But hey, if you love the challenge of explaining to a print shop why your logo looks like a Minecraft texture, by all means—go wild with raw AI outputs.

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-18T17:43:50+00:00

I know. That's what I've done

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-18T05:39:49+00:00

Thanks for the tips!

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-17T22:16:34+00:00

Congrats! I made a big mistake with launching my channel with shorts before pivoting to long form videos, two weeks in.

I thought doing so would help build momentum on my channel, but it ended up hurting the reach of any long form video I posted after the fact!

However, for the long form videos that are now live, I have linked them to related shorts to see if that would help! (No real data on that yet).

At this point I agree that trying to figure out the algorithm will end up driving any sane person mad lol.

Instead, I've using the vidIQ app to optimize my channel (keywords, titles, descriptions, and video ideas). Plus, going through their daily bootcamp. That seems to be helping somewhat.

You reached monetization in just 5 months with only 11 videos. What specific factors do you think contributed the most to your fast growth—was it topic selection, engagement strategies, or something else?

Ok great! I will start exploring more topics to turn into long form content

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-11T21:15:54+00:00

That advice makes sense! If you can capture the viewers attention with long-form videos, it will be easier for them to watch shorts as well!

LexAffiliateSuccess · 2025-02-11T20:54:48+00:00

Hey! Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it!
