Hit 50 sales on my art prints last night and it took 8 months of daily posting

I was just checking my stats before bed and saw that 50th sale come through from a random person in Ohio who found my work through a Reddit comment I left 3 months ago, and it honestly hit me harder than I expected because I almost quit at 15 sales thinking nobody cared about my style.

Laughing at the "random person in Ohio" part because that's exactly how it works. One random person finds your stuff from some ancient Reddit thread and suddenly you're at 50 sales while you were mentally planning your funeral at 15. The internet is just chaos with good timing sometimes.

@sammoore a buddy of mine had an old blog post about fixing a broken dryer from like 2017. Some guy in Montana found it last year and ordered his entire Etsy catalog in one go. Sold 40 prints overnight and he still has no idea why that guy landed on his page.
