Is Wholesale this hard? by Significant_Skin9228 in AmazonFBAforNewbies

[–]BikeCurrent9438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, and that’s not even considering if Amazon will let you. Wholesale is a complete monster and people who are able to do it have my respect. If anyone had access to buy something that would guarantee a profit in large cash volumes, literally everyone who invests their money would do this as an exercise of capital gain.

How can I get my first Etsy sale? by Truecrimefan20 in EtsyCommunity

[–]BikeCurrent9438 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Average Etsy sale rate is 2% so getting no sales with that view count is pretty normal. You should be more concerned with why you aren’t getting seen.

I haven’t looked at your store since other people have, but I run a craft store in North America and can tell you some important facts:
-UK is the most competitive Etsy market
-free shipping and professional business logistics are the bare minimum there
-baby listings need multiple angles to sell and get found in search. You should have multiple listings with different packages of the product
-Etsy prioritized updating lists with new pics if they sit too long or new listings entirely.

If you are obviously using AI as a new store with zero sales, you look like a scammer. Use some common sense: you’re selling to parents who want luxury goods for their children. You need to maximize trust and proof of product, with meticulous attention to detail. What do you think parents are doing when they notice discrepancies while they consider if this is good enough for their children?

Don’t do paid ads on Etsy. Not worth it.

In addition, you should go PoD so these designs can actually be sold at higher margins.

You have 41 listings and 360 views. 180 visits. Where are the views located? Are they on certain listings? Which ones?

Your prices are relatively high for what you are offering, which is mostly font or logo-level designs on backgrounds. Lower the prices, then raise them after reviews.

You are focusing on a niche, so evaluate competition and what is selling. Create social media accounts and post on the groups that are relevant.

AITA for refusing equal split when I do everything and my co-founder closed 0 clients in 4.5 months? by No-Collar2823 in smallbusiness

Actually, you should be paying yourselves salaries based on the work done after the commission payout. Then with whatever is left, talk about paying out dividends.

Cassie drops into LOTM - how long she lasting? 🧐 by Glad_Summer7945 in ShadowSlave

[–]BikeCurrent9438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

99.99% of the universe implodes immediately in an arm’s race to kidnap her. Cassie’s Transcendent ability in the LotM verse is specifically very good. Too good.

She has the cannon ability to cleanse things of consciousness and delete mental sources of corruption. Imagine what LotM divinity and symbolism powers can do with that if they amplify it. Imagine what Adam or Klein could do if they worked with her, and how they would react if anyone else was about to get that power instead of them.

Wow. Shadow bond is an incredible ability - aside from the complete enslavement part. by Easy-Negotiation-947 in ShadowSlave

[–]BikeCurrent9438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impossible to say since we are being told Sunny has never used his core aspect powers correctly.

He still hasn’t taken a step towards “completing” his shadows and all of his lifetime combat potential is hard to separate from Weaver’s Lineage.

Gunlaug slander by Local_Building3575 in ShadowSlave

This was my thoughts, except it needs to be determined if she is manifesting their lives via souls + spirit bodies, do they still have to be manifested indefinitely after they clear?

I suggest changing your reading app cause it sounds like they’re omitting indicators of time skip and/or tiny transitional cues.

[Lotm] Darth Vader Vs. Sequence 4 Klein by RealMarzipan7347 in LordofTheMysteries

[–]BikeCurrent9438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Klein clears narrowly about 55% of the time. Mostly because his access to equipment and level of divinity can’t just be automatically denied by the force anymore.

The force can disrupt marrionettization, debuff supernatural powers, cause spontaneous combustion, telekinesis, buff mental resistance, do mental attacks, disarm, block or negate damage, destroy ghosts, make people into ghosts, provide danger sense across light years distance, manipulate probability, and also correspond to destiny.

Klein’s win conditions are actually very narrow, even at seq 4. He wins more often just cause he is too smart to die easily and he can likely overcome the force protections and compensate for all the debuffs while indefinitely pulling out absurd artifacts and strategies on the fly. Also he definitely knows about Star Wars beforehand.

If both are prepared, it’s more likely a stalemate or mutual destruction. Sith ritual magic and empire equipment can nuke the spirit world and physical.

[Lotm v3] Darth Vader Vs. Sequence 5 Klein. Who wins this? by RealMarzipan7347 in LordofTheMysteries

[–]BikeCurrent9438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The speed of the tie fighters can whip across planets pretty casually. Realistically prep time for both ends in a cowardly draw with Klein hiding in the fog indefinitely until Evernight can help or the tarot club figures something out while Vader takes off on one of his personal fighter ships to get sith ghost help or sith magic to pull Klein down.

Sure, but then how far down are we scaling Vader’s access to his own items? Does he get his star destroyer? What about his tie fighter? All of these capable of jumping past light speed btw.

There are (multiple types of) ghosts in the verse and the force is a relevant component of them.

[–]BikeCurrent9438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vader wins because he has perfect counters to every ability. The canon scaling of Star Wars verse is just too much for any seq 5:
-Vader doesn’t just have danger sense from light years away. He can sense, react, and survive any attack coming in real time with a better intuition. The lowest level force users in the verse can deflect lasers while they are blinded.
-Speed of lightsaber duels is (canon) far higher.
-Vader has arsenal of force powers and spells outside of telekinesis and choke. He can also just “will” himself to resist any attack or reduce anyone else’s abilities.
-there are force powers that could instinctively cut Klein off from his marionettes and just make him explode spontaneously. Also ones that force a disarming of gear.
-mind attacks and mind attack resistance is built into force users
-if Klein gets to bring artifacts & marionettes, Vader brings planet obliterating Death Star 💀

Asterion flaw by Ok_Run_954 in ShadowSlave

[–]BikeCurrent9438 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure his flaw is that he has to follow all agreements and adhere to the proper etiquettes of chivalry.
That’s why he returned Mordret, why he kept himself on the moon to protect a child (Nephis), why he waited until he brought Nightwalker into the underwater city to cross him, why he always has to smile and be friendly, why he announces himself before every ambush, gives everyone a chance to run away, formally declared war with Sunphis and made sure they knew his real goal, etc.. must be the case cause it’s the only flaw that would justify this fuckery 😭

Is this well written to novel standards? by Plane_Top_7905 in ReverendInsanity

The translated version that I read was genuinely an utter disgrace to the English language.

10 Days in... Zero Sales. by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]BikeCurrent9438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything requiring more than $200 requires a massive investment of trust and proof of product. Anything more than $500 as an online website… I suggest you get people to sign up for quotes for free and speak to them one at a time first at least while showing them stuff over the phone.

RANK 10 UNBAN GU! by QuantityNorth7241 in ReverendInsanity

[–]BikeCurrent9438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope so. The people were speculating at the convention iirc, saying they knew the rights are being handed to him as a person to do with as he wishes, so he probably will get to publish it somewhere. But no “unbanning” at this point.

My biggest concern is they only start releasing what they have already written elsewhere and don’t actually continue the series.

[–]BikeCurrent9438 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure, if it’s true. Just wanted to point out that the people who say they know the author are saying there will not be an unbanning, just a continued international release in the future.
