Faa Milestones

Interesting idea for a thread.

I finally hit 2500 images.

good thread!

Thanks JC, I'm glad you like the idea. It could be quite fun to see what people post.

Wow 2500, that is amazing. So many images. I'm sure it took a while to get there.

I love how the internet is constantly evolving and how we as artists are a part of it. We evolve and FAA is constantly evolving by adding more and more features etc. Its really great.

We are collectively part of a very dynamic work of human art. :) This collective social art sharing site is in itself a work of modern social art.

FAA is a milestone in human social artistic interaction.

Thanks Jessica.

I turned 50 years old today and I feel like it. Real milestone for me with all the medical problems I've had over the years.

I just passed 700 images and 25 sales

My FAA balance is the highest it's ever been in over 5 years (as of 3 days ago). :)

620 images, 133,000 "views"

Wow Sharon your collection is unstoppable. A steamroller that will squash us all. Well done. Nice work from the little I just looked at.

I've been on FAA for,..... 2 years, 5 months, 6 days, 17 hours, 11 minutes and 15 seconds

breaks down to....

883 days

21,192 hours

1,271,531 minutes

76,291,215 seconds

This image has been viewed,....12,383 times,......maybe I've been found,.......but who's counting ;-))

I sold my first tote bag the other day!

On July 4th I Celebrated my 6th year at Fine Art America.

Since joining in 2009, although I got a slow start and some paychecks have been quite small I have only missed a total of 8 - FAA paydays.

Very happy to still be here ( and to still be on the planet ). I have truly enjoyed my experiences and what I have learned from the many talented people here.

yeah i just sold a tote bag the other day as well, first one here anyway.

i'm closing in on the 2 million visitor mark, my views are back to where they should be, around 3000 a day.

passed 2700 uploads its not an even number now.

i guess that's it.

I like milestones, too, even if I don't know they are such until I arrive at them :)

In the past 2-3 months, I have had a number of firsts: European sale, repeat customer, review posted (that I know about), phone cover sale, and throw pillow sale. I have also had my first return and my first cancelled order (which was re-ordered a day later but differently) and it's good to have those under my belt :)

Two I'm trying to get to right now are 100,000 visitors (you can ignore your own IP address, Michael - option is at top of Visitors count page) and 1500 images. I'm at at 92,000 and 1374.

On June 17 I am proud to say I made my best work to date, Acts of War. My work had been developing.

From June 24 to July 6, I created 15 new works. I am gearing up for Christmas. With images that are not purely photography
supposedly as you get to 30 to 50 images you are getting towards a full portfolio to sell from. I began on Sept 1 last year with no images.
So I am getting somewhere. I began a new series, The Rustic Series, yesterday.

Paid all monthly bills (including 2 mortgages) with FAA after tax money, and still had enough to put some in the bank. Now the next month it didn't happen, but if I did it once....I can do it again!

I've been here a bit over 2 years,.... and have gotten about 25 or so sales on prints and greeting cards from buyers browsing.

I'm my own best customer,...having purchased 32 prints and 295 greeting cards.

Am not at a break even point yet,...but getting closer by the year ;-)) I hope

I enjoy the creative aspects of creating the best in each of my images and improving my FAA premium website as I grow along ;-)

I try to present new and different pieces that set themselves apart from run of the mill images and over done subjects.

Unfortunately I have chosen a narrow theme of interest,..(Down East Maine),...and therefor have limited subject interest.

FAA is the only site I display my work to sell online.

I am not active on social networks nor do I market myself as I could,...so that hurts my sales and exposure.

I derive a great deal of satisfaction from a portfolio I am proud of,....and have worked very hard to create and pull it all together.

Have especially enjoyed new friendships in various forums and groups here,....the talent and opinions expressed on FAA have helped me grow and improve each day.

FAA is a very enjoyable adventure for this guy in his retirement years.

Reached a number of milestones last month:
200 pictures, 20,000 views, 100 followers, 600th view on 1 picture. Most importantly I made my first sale.
Yesterday I set a new high for views in 24 hours with 317.
9 hours into today I already have 146 - could be on for a new record!

I just made my "30th sale" in 1-1/2 years of being with FAA.

I'll have my 5th year completed, starting my 6th on the 18th of this month. I'm trying to hit 3,000 images by the end of the year. I have 42 to go. That's after deleting over 500 images since I started that were not up to snuff. It's easier to tell now what will print and what won't. If I could just figure out what sells :-). Although, the Michigan landmark and shorelines sell better for me than any of the others, which I guess is a good thing since that's where I live....

The other day I hit 20,000 views, at least according to my profile page, "behind the scene's" says something different.

I been here since Sept 2008 and just uploaded number 2,282 but the real milestones is I still have the drive to make art everyday.

I hit my 25th sale today!

I still have the drive to make art everyday.


Alfred,

I look forward hopefully to saying that years from now.

I just passed the 2 million visitors, but nowhere close to Karen with the number of followers and sales Lol.

Rather than share my own numbers, I am proud to say that the First Friday Gallery Group that I manage has passed the 950 member mark, and is currently at 967 fantastic members.

Overnight I passed the 1.5 million visitor mark.

delete - not sure if this is an approved image thread. Link posted below.

I uploaded my 1500th image yesterday.

Congratulations everyone! I uploaded 367 images, some of them are photographs (but the latest ones are super beautiful, promise).
Anyway, this is my latest upload, an original handmade painting of colorful koi fish.

Hooray!!!!!!... I have hit the 100,000 visits milestone. Joined in April of 2019 and have uploaded 1560 images. While I don't market my site, I have gotten quite a few sales (how are they finding me?)

CONGRATULATIONS to all!

A year ago I had 1000 000 visitors.
Just hit 2 000 000.

Over 2 million visitors! Thank you Fine Art America!!! Over 1,698 sales!!!

Wao! Congratulations!

I passed 4 million visitors yesterday, but have nowhere near the number of sales Karen mentions. I have 6 or 7 sales since I joined in May 2021.

Today I finally broke the one million views barrier. I am only 3 images away from 1000 also.

Today I posted image number 1000.

I saw this thread at a good time because I am getting discouraged about my lack of sales (total of two, and I’ve been here since July 2023 I think).

But this thread made me go look and realize that:
I now have over 150 images uploaded (155 to be exact), my most popular image now has over 100 views (104), I’ve had 1,947 total visitors to my images and 253 total comments. I’ve also been lucky enough to be featured a lot, and today I was fortunate enough to have four of my images featured in the same group (For the Love of Flowers) in one day.

While these numbers are very tiny compared to most people who’ve been on the site for a longer time, for me I guess they gave me something to feel at least a little bit proud of. It gives me hope that I must be doing something right. Now about those sales, though… LOL!!!

Wow. Interesting stories. 4 million views and 6 or 7 sales. 2 million views and 1,698 sales.. who doesn't fall in love with "happy manatee" photo. Or pretty yellow rosebud. Several milestones today. 1. Uploaded 20 new images today the most yet. Because I couldn't figure out how to upload jpg photos from my Samsung phone I pay kinko's to convert to pdf and new jpg on memory stick which I take to the library computer to upload. Just getting this site up is a milestone for a play outside in the garden boy who has never owned or wanted a computer or laptop or even wanted one until now. 2. Got up to my 1st 1000 views today. Still excited to see locations of viewers around the united states but especially places like vittsjo Sweden, Perth Australia, zeehan Tasmania Australia, leeds United Kingdom, vending France, Roma Italy as well as Montreal, Toronto, and Port severin Canada. Thanks to everyone whose taken a look. 3. I successfully put up my 1st FAA contest for Christmas and secular holiday cards with candle in it. I didn't think I could figure it out but thanks FAA for making it so easy even I could do it. When the library computer said I had 10 minutes before closing time I didn't think I could finish. I think I got lucky it wasn't a 5 minute warning. Thanks for letting me share a few small but hopeful milestones.

I've reached 2500 total sales today (11/22/2023) with a jigsaw puzzle sale this morning.

Amazing! Many Congratulations!

A few new milestones as of today 11/25/2023:
I have exceeded 2000 total visitors (2154)
There are over 300 comments on my work (305)
I now have 168 images uploaded
I have been featured again

Small accomplishments to be sure when compared with many others on this site, but meaningful to me.

Not quite close to Toby but I had my 300th sale today on FAA.

225 sales....

I now have over 200 photographs uploaded. Just did my 202nd.

I've been here for 13 years now and just past 16,000 images. That's about 1200 images a year but I'm (mostly) a photographer so it's easy to accumulate a lot if you go out frequently.

Still not a big seller, but people do trip over me once in a while because I do have a lot posted.

As of today I have over 3,000 views (3,003) and 414 comments.

By the end of the week i’ll hit 2.5 million visitors (4 years), i’m also just over 9,000 images. My average yearly sales was 2, now 1. Only 641 comments.

I’ll take a guess that the percentage of my visitors that are bots, is probably around 99.9%.
