I’ve been a member here at RedBubble from March 2011, my humble little store began with about 8 designs and for months I had no visitors, then on 8th June 2011 I sold my first T-Shirt design Capoeira Batizado Guy Version, I had between 10-20 visits a day, and I was filled with happyness that someone was wearing my design; it motivated me to design more. Now within 5 months I’ve designed 130+ T-Shirts, had 200 sales and over 35000 page views.
