I made $2,800 in 3 days drawing Notion styled avatars. AMA!

Hey everyone!

I'm Sally Wong, a freelance artist who started my journey recently.

4 days ago, I joined Twitter to share some Notion styled avatars I drew. I was really surprised when I received overwhelming requests to help people on Twitter create their personalised Notion styled avatars.

I quickly setup an order form with Tally and Notion, and the orders soon came in. Since then, I made over $2,800 and have also been contacted by several small company/ organisation to draw avatars for their whole team.

If you have any questions for me, ask right away!

    Not a question but a suggestion! You could automate it like http://cvbox.org/ and charge people for it. Then you can scale your service without putting in more hours (:

    Also, you draw way better than cvbox

      Thank you for your order, I'll be working on it soon but do note there's a queue.

    First, giant congrats. Very cool success story.

    What has been the main traffic driver? Did you already have a large following somewhere you were able to leverage?

      I joined Twitter and hosted a giveaway of custom Notion styled avatar in my first tweet which later went viral.

        Awesome. Can you say more about that? Were there some key people who helped your tweet go viral? If so, how did you get their attention?

        For example, I see @heyeaslo (15k followers) posted about your avatars on Oct 25. I assume that helped get the ball rolling?

          I saw that too. I guess without that it's extremely rare to go viral on twitter and generate business. The author here doesn't seem to acknowledge that.

            Unfortunately this looks like one of those AMAs where the author barely responds to the questions asked 😕

    This is awesome!
    Just curious, why do you think this particular project worked so well?

    I don't have any questions, but congrats, what an awesome story! Keep up the great work!🚀

    It looks like you're using Notion/Super/Tally to run the whole operation. Are there other tools that are critical to your success?

    I love how quickly you got this off the ground! Did you have an audience or portfolio before starting a few days ago?

    Hey Sally,
    How did you stand out as an Artist?
    Means how did you do social media marketing for your skills?
    Asking as I am an Artist too, and there are lots of them
    but you stands out, that's amazing!
