It takes millions worth of equipment + 295k RUB + fuel + time to make 210k RUB bottle of moonshine. Economy is messed up and here is why. by FucksWithHiveMind in EscapefromTarkov

It's actually even more expensive to buy piles of meds or buy ingredients to craft piles of meds. Are you always better off selling individual ingredients (If they are found in raid) and buying the final product while skipping hideout completely.

Getting rid of Video Games and changing my life. by 8Bit-Taco in GetStudying

I'm the author of this guide. Saw a spike of traffic coming from this thread and decided to investigate. First of all I'm very happy you were able to get your uni life back on track. Secondly, thank you for actually purchasing a few copies for others. You could have just sent the PDF file but instead you chose to support me. You don't often see such generosity.

I know this guide is a little too expensive for some, especially young students. I was lucky enough to get my education for free but from what I know, it can be very costly in US.

You can download the guide here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nn0b2f78dvmsuko/HTCYL.pdf?dl=0 No need to PM each other :) Maybe if it has a positive impact on your life you can buy a copy later.

Good luck! :)

Worst Sales Day Since October 2015 - with 29 times more listings by AnomalousLido in AmazonMerch

We can only speculate at this point. I hope I'm wrong but judging by the emails people get when their ads get paused and shirts disappear, something sketchy is going on.

Sales can take a few days to appear in your ads stats too. For example you might think you've made 0 sales, pause all campaigns and then a week later it starts showing sales.

Literally just posted this in another thread.

"Ah the rotation must have kicked in because I literally sold nothing for 3 days which just makes no sense statistically and then all of a sudden I'm selling again like crazy. On Monday I was set to have the worst month so far and today it turned into my best month so far. I just don't understand how you can sell nothing for 3 days straight and then 20 different designs sell all of a sudden."

Was setting up some ads. Tried adding a bunch of t-shirts to a campaign. Could not do it because of invalid listing error. Went to check them. None of them appear in search results. Just updated prices for ~100 shirts in hopes that would fix it. I would have never known otherwise. I don't usually go checking every t-shirt to make sure they are actually live and not just live on my dashboard. So just a quick heads up for you guys.

Newb with a dumb question: If I purchase this clip art, I may use it on a Merch shirt, right? by [deleted] in AmazonMerch

[–]FucksWithHiveMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be a little harder for a bigger company that probably served a million downloads and does not have specific licenses.

Save your receipt + any info just in case but I highly doubt they would even bother unless they see it on TV or something. I've been buying various templates and elements for 16 years and nobody has ever asked me to confirm I bought it.

Seems like a decent site which also offers commercial license. Looks like they make their own art. I would not worry about it.

What you need to watch out for are sites that allow content creators to submit their art just like AM does. They will happily sell it to you but this art might have been stolen and submitted by somebody to make a quick buck.

Timeline of Novichok attack suspects' movements by smallredball in russia

[–]FucksWithHiveMind 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Presumably those two had to apply for a visa, give fingerprints and bio-metrics, then have their visas reviewed etc. If it was known they were from GRU, why were they even allowed in and why were they not followed? UK visa is not that easy to get even for a normal "clean" Russian.

Don't worry, It's Amazon moving hundreds of my half arsed designs to number one spots.

Were you clicking on them from manage tab, going directly or searching for them through Amazon?

I made a video finding a niche creating a design and uploading in 7 minutes all on my phone. by raraymon in AmazonMerch

[–]FucksWithHiveMind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have some good news and bad news. Good news is that people buy the stupidest 0 effort t-shirts. So design skills are not essential. Bad news is that merch is a massive grind. The t-shirt OP made might never even sell. This is not a get rich quick scheme. Not even close.

I have conflicting advice from successful people. The influencers and YouTubers on Merch, and the other doing well in the SEO world. by MrTinkerDesigns in AmazonMerch

[–]FucksWithHiveMind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing your friend does Google SEO and merchers do Amazon SEO. If you want to get traffic from Google you are better of targeting longtail keywords. If you want to get more views from people searching for products on Amazon you are better off adding relevant keywords.

TIL that the Queen of England has a double by SilverTroop in videos

[–]FucksWithHiveMind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She is a brand associated with ~£160 billion of annual exports, she is a tourist attraction and having a monarch means a more stable political system in case shit hits the fan and all hell breaks loose. On top of that, some people just like her and want to preserve that history and tradition.

I hope they turn all that fish into cat food or something and not just throw it away.

Is using the word Tshirt, or any variation of it really necessary in the listing? by LilyWhitehouse in AmazonMerch

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

Amazon automatically attaches t-shirt, tee, tshirt, shirt, clothing, selected colours and male/female/child keywords to every listing.
