Icon Set (by James Traff)by James Traff
James Traff made $280,000 in approximately 5-6 weeks from a custom iOS icon set that took only 2 hours to create and package. The breakthrough came when his Twitter screenshot of a customized iPhone home screen went viral, followed by MKBHD featuring the icons in a YouTube video that reached 6 million views. His success was built on 7 years of design experience, a habit of sharing work on social media, and the ability to quickly capitalize on trending opportunities using no-code tools.
