My custom sticker shop just hit 500 orders in a month, which is double what I expected.

I run everything from my garage in Austin and only started six months ago. The jump happened after I switched to a new vinyl supplier that cut my print time in half. What's a realistic next goal to aim for without burning out?

Congrats! What's your best selling sticker design?

Yeah, it's funny how that works... sometimes the design you put the least effort into just clicks with people. For me it's this really simple doodle of a tired looking coffee cup, @grayt46. It's not my favorite thing I've made, but it sells like crazy... guess everyone needs that "just one more cup" feeling. I keep meaning to make more in that series, but never find the time.

Oh man that's super relatable! I've got this one design that's literally just a sad little cactus in a pot with a frowny face. It took me like 5 minutes in MS Paint years ago and it still outsells everything else I've ever made by a mile. People really connect with that tired, need one more cup vibe you're talking about. Sometimes the simplest stuff just hits the right nerve with people and you can't really explain why. I think customers like seeing something that feels like it could have been drawn by anyone, not some super polished professional thing.
