Sometime this morning, while I was riding to work, someone viewed a photo of mine on Flickr, rolling the “total views” odometer over 1 million. That’s a lot of views. There aren’t many other venues where I could put my photos on display and have them seen a million times. Granted, there’s no “unique viewers” stat – so it could be 10 people clicking reload repeatedly. But still…
And I know there are LOTS of people with WAY more people viewing their stuff, but I still think this is pretty mindblowing. That’s a lot of exposure for, what? $30 a year?
Congrats – you are right that there may be many more people with higher numbers, but there are also many more with barely 10%. It’s certainly a nice milestone that shows that your dedication is being noticed.
What I like is that the community within Flickr gives us all the opportunity to notice great work and for people to notice our work — great or not. I love that (as you say) for $30 a year I can connect with so many interesting people and have a chance to see what they’ve seen. Congrats on the milestone.
Amazing to me. I’ve barely broken 10,000.
Long way to go to reach a million. How long have you been on Flickr?
coming up on 5 years now. Flickr says
