Hey Jeff,
I have the same question. Who were your first customers and how were they acquired?
Yep, friends and word-of-mouth. I had won a few tshirt design competitions and made a little bit of a name for myself within the tshirt design industry. I also emailed blogs that I had been following with a personal message telling them about Ugmonk.
I started with 200 shirts. 4 designs, 50 of each. (One of the designs was so poorly printed that I never actually put it up on the site, but that's a whole other story)

Have feedback?
How did you get exposure when you first started out (friends, word of mouth, etc.)? Also how many products did you start off with?
