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.

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.

CONGRATS!!! Keep up the good work!

Today I uploaded my 1000th image at FAA.

It is a picture of a sunset over Bear Gulch Reservoir in Pinnacles National Park. The reservoir is over 2 miles one way from the campground. The return trip after dark was interesting especially negotiating the narrow Talus cave with nearly 30lbs of camera gear and tripod.

Well worth it to get that sunset.

I hit 2,000,000 "visitors" today!

I never thought I would stick with this so long. It's now been over a decade and still going strong (because it is still fun).

Celebrating a wonderful milestone : 2000th ( two thousands) print sale on FAA. Just want to say a big thank you to Fine Art America.

I truly enjoy being part of FAA. I started my journey December 2024 I have sold 11 items from both my paintings and photography. I have about 200 pics and over 3,000 views

Overnight passed 10,000 favourites.

This morning I had my 1,000,000st visitor. (May be the 50,000st without bots :) )

A new account. I will try hard to make this one stick!

At least, the account name is appropriate, from more than one perspective!

https://i-fidget.pixels.com

From yesterday I have a total of over 5,000,0000 views.
I will post again when I will double this number, because at the first million I forgot.

Nicko,

Congrats!!! That's amazing! Not even 5 full years! And under 1600 images!!! Great work, marketing your stuff!

Rich

Just passed 8 million views, but of course most of those are bots.
