To meet the goal of 1 fan a day you would have to get your work and name out to at least 100 people a day; and I think that number might be more like 1000 people a day. I've read other lofty marketing ideas, like the 6 figure photographer, and I get the same feeling; It's about getting your name out. I think to make it as a normal working artist you have to shoot for being the rock star famous artist. Market like your the hottest thing since the iphone, and you might land close to the 1,000 true fan mark. (whether that 1,000 fans is really 500 or 5,000 fans) But realistically his numbers are off. If you have 1,000 dedicated fans who bought $100 dollars worth of your work every year. You would likely have another 1,000 fans who only buy $50 or $25 dollars worth of your work so instead of $100,000 dollars of income you would likely be at $125,000-150,000. There surely is a large gamut where one might land on this mystical Island of success. At the very least I think I will revise my marketing plan to allow for arriving at the 1,000 true fan mark.

Yes, I did a bit of an overhaul this winter. I always love coding my website; it gives me a nice alternative to making art. Thanks Paula. Yes, I did a bit of an overhaul this winter.

You're right, we don't hear so much about working artists who are making a sustainable income. 1000 fans would be a good thing – and I would be more than happy to earn a middle income from my artwork.
