Happy Birthday Tutorial9!
Today marks the 1-year anniversary for Tutorial9. That’s 365 days of serving the friendliest community on the planet, striving each and every day to find new ways to help designers.
This is Your Captain Speaking
Hey folks, it’s Leggett here thanking you all for an awesome first year in serving the design community.
Many of you have been here since the start, and many more joined the party sometime after we kicked off, and it’s been a total pleasure serving everyone and getting to know some of you rather well.
In just 12 short months we’ve become one of the top tutorial and resource publishers on the web, currently serving over 16,000 subscribers, and tens of thousands of designers around the web. We don’t attribute this success to our kick-butt awesome tutorials, but to the culture of friendly folk constantly striving to help one another.
It’s our community that separates Tutorial9, and truly makes it a Blissful experience.
What’s In Store For The Future
Our plan for Tutorial9 is to keep doing what we do best. Rather than spread ourselves too thin, we’re going to stay on course and continue providing more and more outstanding resources for the design community.
Do one thing, but do it well. That’s one of my beliefs for making this a sustainable resource for years to come.
We will of course expand and grow as it becomes possible, and we depend on your help to make that happen. When you share Tutorial9 with a friend, help people subscribe to updates, and participate in the discussion, it really does make it easier for us to provide you with more resources.
Finances are always one of the less fun things to talk about in communities, but so far we’ve done well. We believe in strong investments in our contributors since sharing knowledge is what makes Tutorial9 such a great place, but we’re wise about our spending which keeps the experience optimal for our viewers. There are discussions about creating a premium membership program here, but I will always keep the Tutorials themselves completely free. A premium membership would simply allow us to enhance the experience by sharing even more resources with our viewers.
Want To Make Tutorial9 a Better Place?
There are lots of ways you can get integrated in the community:
