I just had to share--I sold my first print on SmugMug that didn't go to my mom. :D I was checking my email last night and found a proof delay notice. I thought, "What did Mom buy now?" and discovered it was from someone I didn't know! Yea!! Thanks, SmugMug!!

    Yeah it was a nice kind of shock, but my ticker was sure thumpin' for awhile. Then fear ran though my mind....wondering if it would print out ok.

    Congrats! It's great to see sales come through the email. iloveyou.gif

    What's an interesting analysis is to see how many photos were viewed that month up to that time. Then you can figure out a view to sale ratio. thumb.gif

    That's where I am. I have my personal stuff done at WHCC. If/ when I sell a print, I hope Bay Photo comes out as well.

    Colorado--I've been very happy with my Bay Photo prints so far. I have not printed anything larger than 11x14, though. I do like the metallic paper a lot! This person ordered a giclee canvas, so I'm very curious how it looks. I'm going to order one for myself to make sure.

    Now we'll see how the customer likes the prints - just had my first sale, from a "picture day" photo shoot I did at my daughters daycare (she's 4, there were kids from 18mos to 5yo there). The pictures that sold went to the couple that had the cutest boy in the class (I think he is 2 1/2 now).

    Congrats, Colorado! Let's both hope the customers are satisfied enough to buy more and make some referrals.

    Congrats on your 1st sale!

    FYI - on your digital download page there is no "Buy" link showing up for me. I'm on Firefox.
