Great Advice From The Founder Of eXtremepixels.com - find it here: Bob Pankala Interview

Bob Pankala is one of the most generous interviewees we have ever had - no shortage of great business advice but also great life advice - it is even hard for me to pick out a highlight in Bobs replies - but I am going to go with this: Selling website, blog and forum themes is big business now, what advice would you give someone who wants to be successful in this industry?

BOBS REPLY:

- Don’t do it just for the money. If you do then you will not last. You have to have the passion and the means to offer an extremely high quality product. Like I said before… It is ridiculous how many forum skin sites I have seen come and go. When you design a theme bounce it off friends and get their input. Never get to the point where you think everything you create is
the best design ever. Listen to people and their advice. You don’t have to take every piece of advice you get but in the long run you will benefit from it.

Do not get mad at criticism. That is a useful tool and should be listened to. To steal a quote… “Embrace your critics, they show you your flaws”.

You have to have the patience to allow people to get to know you and trust you. And you MUST offer a truly great product and back that product with unheard of support. Also try to be unique. Don’t look at a site and basically copy what they are doing and offer designs that are popular. If you want to stand out from the rest offer something that nobody has seen
before.
