I had been working on a project of mine for about a year. I sketched a design while drawing with my cousin and it looked cool so I hung it in my room. Every day I would see it and thought "Man, it'd be cool to see this in real life." I always talked about my friends about how awesome it would be to start a brand and how they wanted to create a product or start a brand. No one ever does it though, so I spent months researching and executing.
After all the hard work I was able to announce my brand on facebook and people LOVED it! I see my friends launching their brands all the time, usually just some crappy design on a shirt and I see them being overlooked. I knew this was going to be different. A few hours later I received so many responses, shares and support I couldn't believe it! People I didn't even know were already contacting me to buy them!
I had to drive around to sell them to friends and family because I don't have a store or anything yet. I'm also worried about legal and copyright issues. I want to start an online store so I can start shipping them, but I couldn't afford a large supply so I'm very limited. I know I need to start grinding with the advertisement and drawing more attention and traffic towards them.
Well in any case, I made 2 weeks worth of paychecks in 2 days with very little effort. I thought HOLY CRAP SO THIS IS THE FASTLANE! THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE! I bring them out to shows, events, meetings, parties, just pretty much any social gathering and people seem to be in awe. I'm always getting a positive reaction from my product, these babies seem to be a big hit.
The only downside as of now is that I have to drive around to sell these and I'm not making any real profit since I have to use the money to buy a bigger supply. I'm also looking for a different job (already received a couple interviews) because I have a lot of bills to pay and this job isn't cutting it. I'm not going to lie, I am at a low point in my life right now, but I've been through so much worse so it's no biggie, I'll get through it. It's about the journey, not the destination right? Well I just wanted to share to everyone what I've been doing to get on the Fast Lane and maybe receive some advice from the veterans.
