My deal is live!!!

My deal went live today for VIPs with it opening to everyone tomorrow. I'm so excited!... and somewhat overwhelmed already! I'm just trying to stay organized and work on the orders as they come in. Any advice from those of you that have already done a feature is greatly appreciated!

Cross your fingers for me!

Here's the link to my deal in case you want to take a look: http://heartsy.me/shops/2852-akula-hope-designs

Congrats. You can only do what you can physically do in a day. Don't stress out, it will get done. If you are too overwhelmed, you will not enjoy the experience! Good Luck.

How long ago did you agree on this date? just wondering how long it takes once you agreed on the price to pick a day to be featured. I am in the waiting phase.

Re: My deal is live!!!

Thanks! I think I originally got the 'yes' a little under 2 weeks after I submit my deal. It took about a day to negotiate the deal after that. Definitely opt to have a chat with them on the phone to negotiate your deal because it was much easier to ask questions and for them to explain things that way. I felt much more comfortable and like it was a partnership after we spoke... rather than them pushing the deal they wanted on me, which wasn't the case at all.

My situation was a little weird after that. They wanted me to do the feature within that following week, but I wasn't prepared enough to run it then, and after that I went on vacation. They were very flexible on choosing a date. I basically gave them several dates I wanted to run it on and they went with the earliest. They wanted me to run it on the 4th of July, but I was busy on the 3rd and wouldn't be at home to deal with everything.

In all, the process took a little over a month for me, but if I had done it right away it would have been about 3 weeks.

Thanks Akula! I started a thread for mine called "It Has Begun!" Kind of a little Mortal Kombat reference. Im a bit of a geek.
