#1: Gary Amstutz, founder of StickerandLabelSA.co.za:

We chatted with with Gary, founder of StickerandLabelSA.co.za ($10K/month). In our interview, Gary says:

Additionally:

The site launched in June 2005 and the first month we did a whole…. 2 orders :). To many people this would have been an absolute disaster but to me it validated the entire business model.

#3: David Rubie-Todd, founder of Sticker it:

We chatted with with David, founder of Sticker it ($200K/month). In our interview, David says:

Additionally:
