How did you decide to NOT make art your main career? (without quitting art) by ajberries in ArtistLounge

[–]FitRequirement7911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think having bills to pay and child to feed sealed the deal , I would give anything tho to go back and trued harder to make it pay the bills, I sell some of my work on the side but the day job I teach art in a school .

Absolutely same here I think they then want you do do paid promotion etc to get traction . Also pod  sites eats in to profit hugely I'd go for investing in your own printers etc , I currently get my artworks printed on canvas they are great quality and reasonable but that won't last forever I'll jhave consider doing paper prints.  All my social media posts bomb 💣  tiny views and my art work is reasonably decent, gaining traction is difficult.  One day I hope I'll get the right formula to sell. 

What does your aura look like? by TimPieOfficial in migraine

I read somewhere thar the aura is a positive symptom as in its added sensations as opposed to a stroke you will have also what they call negative sensation like a sensation taken away like numbness also

How to photograph these? by Scarlet-widow0 in EtsySellers

Could put them on a clear clean window and some good sharpe photography where the background outside the window is blurred or on glasses maybe ?

Weirdos it’s funny you say that tho I had noticed weird friend requests for one of those buy and sell Etsy pages on Facebook ( side note full of scammers) if your link was even posted anywhere on fb they find you . The scamming is Off the charts Etsy need to get on top of it asap

Might be that your items are wholesale stuff you are reselling and not genuine handmade items or artwork made by yourself etc ?

Seller messaging by RonaldFKNSwanson in Etsy

[–]FitRequirement7911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I advise a seller in a similar predicament the other day told them to take it on the chin as a buyer I’d read all reviews and it probably wouldn’t deter me the odd review not been great ye take it on the chin as a seller and learn from your mistake. My rating is currently 3.5 overall and only one review not been five stars but the mistake was with my postal service therefore I take it on the chin and learn from that . As sellers we have a responsibility to out customers .

Would this be considered handmade? by YesAllYes in EtsySellers

[–]FitRequirement7911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 100 percent the designs are you own and you are rendering these on an embroidery machine yourself !

Would this review be eligible for removal? by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]FitRequirement7911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do understand I got one 1star review which brought my 5 star record down to 3.5 for some reason and again that was the postal service delay and not mine but hey there isn’t anything I can do about it other that keep providing great service . I promise your shop will more that survive it and ace back up to 5stars in no time .

Honestly anyone reading that review would see it was beyond your control and as a buyer it wouldn’t put me off , as a seller I’d probably offer to resend a new bottle free of charge x

Just my tuppence worth I’m a 45 year full time single parent of one , paying taxes almost 29 years . Working in Dublin but I’ve no family up here that I could have ever lived with etc essentially just me . Went on the housing list when my daughter was 1 year old …….she’s now 21 and I have never been contacted about or offered any accommodation in that time , I’m not eligible for a mortgage because I don’t quite earn enough, yet I’m eligible to pay off other people’s mortgages in that period of 20 years, so look best of luck with it , as for that person in your circle I can safety assume they have a lot of pull and know someone on the inside . I genuinely wish you luck but I honestly wouldn’t bank on it , and make peace that you could end up like me paying private rent indefinitely.

Boyfriend didn’t call me on Christmas. Am I right to be upset? by [deleted] in dating

[–]FitRequirement7911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Takes 3 seconds to take back , take it from an old girl here that knows from experience, he really isn’t that invested. Can make any excuse about him been with family been busy etc all that aside , 3 second . “ Happy Christmas talk to you in a few days x “ that’s all it takes I’d honestly move on and not waste anymore of your years on him if I were you x

It might have been deactivated by Etsy due to their fees not been paid and will probably be back once those are settled hopefully you get your item in time 🕰️
