Well, March is coming to an end and it’s been a real record-breaker month here at Psdtuts+. I love statistics and spend hours looking through them, so this month has been very exciting for me. So as a little bit of site news, I thought I’d share some of the numbers from the site!
In HK Now
Before I get to the numbers, some small bits of news. A few days ago, I moved from Sydney to Hong Kong to live, which means I’ve been a little slow approving comments and replying emails—too busy eating wan tan min and drinking those awesome iced milk teas :-) Sorry for any delays, I’ve only just logged into the Psdtuts+ email account for the first time this week and found 50 emails waiting… yikes!
Happily, I’ve found an apartment now and things are settling down. This city is amazing, and I’ve been noting the way the graphic design here is different from back home and has its own unique flavor. Hopefully will write some tutorials inspired by Chinese design.
Also, in a few days I’m going to be announcing the new site editor who will be taking over from me posting and keeping the daily parts of the site running. This will mean I can work a bit more on the new forums and wiki, as well as more projects! But more on that in a few days.
And now on to the numbers…
28 Photoshop Tutorials + Articles Published
Until last month, the most tutorials we’d ever put up in a month was about 8, then in February we got to 17 in a month, and now another huge jump to almost one a day. Actually this whole site only has 100 posts, which means almost a third of the whole site was published in March!
Over 3 Terrabytes of Data Transferred
All I can say is thank goodness for Amazon’s S3 service. Otherwise all those 30-step large images would be much more painful.
3 Million Pageviews and 1 Million Visitors!
This was the very first month we broke the 1 million visitors mark which is really amazing. I think the unique visitor count is about 2/3 that which just blows me away. Imagine 600,000 people standing in front of you armed with awesome photoshop skills :-) Woah!
1000+ Flickr Group Members and 1500+ Images
The Psdtuts+ Flickr group is a great way to share your artwork with other readers and it’s pretty cool to see the images changing here on the site’s sidebar. It really freshens up the blog and is a neat reminder that the reason this site is so cool is because of its members! If you’re not a member, it’s pretty easy to add your Flickr account to the group and start adding images.
450 Plus Members
The most exciting stat is that in our first month, 450 people joined the Psdtuts+ Plus membership program meaning this site now has a very bright future. Thanks to every one of you, we’ll be working hard to add more and more resources in there, and greatly appreciate your support. All the positive comments we received last week, as well,really served to reinforce what a great community this is!
Thank you!
So thank-you to everyone who made March the month of mind-boggling numbers and for all your support of the site. I can’t wait to look back in March 2009 and see how much bigger the site has gotten :-)

Collis my man, I didn’t know you were asian? Well even if your not, I shouldn’t have disrespected you. My bad. I have a friend who is working in Hong Kong as a Graphic Designer. She works for a company called “SANDY CHOI”. Not sure if you heard of it or not.
I usually don’t comment the articles but this will be the exception. So congratulations for your work, keep up with this amazing website!

Hey Collis,
Congratulations for moving to Hong Kong. I bet you will learn a lot of new stuff there and improve your designing skills.
Also be careful, don’t eat too much. :))
Also I was amazed by looking each day at PSDTuts and observing that at least 1 tutorial gets posted each day. I don’t even want to think about how many fresh tutorials you get every day for approval.
I am stunned to see the big numbers the site has managed to accumulate.
I am extremely proud that I am a member of this amazing website and the community. Also I am very curious who will be the new site editor and happy to hear there will be one too, this will give you time to launch the forum that will keep this community more alive. ;)
Keep up the astonishing work Collis.
i luv your tutorials ;)
Oh… one more great think. The community link feed is just an amazing thing that provides us with a lot of inspiring links and useful stuff.
Keep up the good work !! Thx a lot
collis for the food you should come in italy!! anyway congrats for the stats!!
Or you could come here in Romania and eat some of our traditional “sarmalute cu mamaliga” :))
All the hard work has to pay off, and i’m sure those number will be even bigger next month! Good luck abd I hope you enjoy your time in HK.
Oh my god.

Great site, all your tutorials are truely amazing. And you should feel VERY proud of this site, its quite an achivement, its the only tutorial site that i can say has GOOD tutorials. Nearly every single tutorial is awesome, i do say nearly, but all of them are GOOD but not all are awesome(but most are :P)
I hope you enjoy your stay at china :) Enjoy the cusine, and trust me, go to rural china and experince the beautifull scenerey. Im sure you’l find alot of inspiration!
Congrats on the accomplishment, but one thing your badly missing is a “contact us” tab.
Nice work on the site and your big move! How’s Cyan taking the change?
This site has really helped open my mind to a whole different way to use features in Photoshop.
Hong Kong is a great place. I had considered moving there myself a couple of years ago and I had a great visit there. The place just screams “Buy a Digital SLR and take pictures!”
Nice article.
Hong Kong is an amazing city!! I’ve been there 4 times already and I still want to go back! You will definitely enjoy it there. So much to do in such a small space!
Well done. I think this won’t stop here if you continue to put such a quality content in a regular basis…
Thank US ?? no NO THANK YOU for providing the best PS tutorials on the net . . . keep up the nice work ;)
I really would like to know what blog software you use
Wow! Awesome! I love PSDTUTS!
collis,
congrats on everything! especially the move to HK. if you like the food in HK, you definitely need to go into the mainland and try the food! i live in a nearby city, guangzhou, so if you need a person for food/beer you have my email!

Well I certainly hope you reward your investors appropriately. ;)

Congratulations on the move and site mate. Good luck on settling in.
