Andrew: Before we get started, I’ve got to tell you about three great companies. PicClick is the first. It’s a one person start-up from my friend, Ryan, in San Diego. PicClick gives you a visual way to search eBay, Etsy and other sites. Ryan is already doing one million product sales per month on picclick.com, not hits but sales. Go to p-i-c-c-l-i-c-k.com to see how he’s doing it.
99Designs is the largest crowd source marketplace for graphic design. When I used them, I wrote a description of the design I needed and how much I wanted to pay. I got a bunch of designs back. I gave each designer feedback and picked the one I liked best. And that’s the only one that I paid for. Try them for logo design. If you need a blog design, use them. If you need app icons, use them. There’s so many different reasons why you might want to use them. Check out 99Designs and you’ll see why so many past Mixergy guests have used 99designs.com.
