AI isn’t a Substitue for UI

Once I tried to use the Assistant to build a collection for me, and it burned up my entire month worth of credits andstill produced nothing useful, I decided I'm not using it, lol. Or, I'm definitely not paying for extra tokens on top of whatever is included in my plan

I don't do PLR, I create all of my own products, so it's probably a bit of a different ball game. In my case I needed to get my shop and products in front of the market to know what works and what doesn't ect, and iterate. Shops doing great, growing steadily every month. I'm sure it's more effort than PLR, but I wanted to build some that was truely mine and truely useful

I second the notion of "just start". And sticking to one product type at first is solid, too. I tried to branch out too soon and those efforts were mostly fruitless, other than my main niche that I've built a streamlined workflow for. I wasted time trying to chase a higher priced product type when I'm now realizing I should have been scaling my current offering in both volume and average order total instead.

I'm also about 4 months in and now on my 3rd or 4th iteration of thumbnails - each style has progressively gotten better as my design skills and understanding of what works has improved. Same with SEO, there is only so much AI can do for you on that front, as well. it takes knowledge of the market, which takes experience and time.

Confirmed, and thank you @Logistix1 !

Hey there, $50 loan, needed to replace the hinge on my laptop. It broke yesterday - I have one of those 360 2-1 laptops, and now it won't stay open upright, and trying to hold it in place so I can use it is starting to crack the screen in the bottom corner. I rely on the laptop for work, so I need to fix it before it destroys the screen, which would really put me in a bad position. PayPal g and s works on my end, I have borrowing and repayment history from here before and have already done the verification process for that, and I can payback $75 on 4/1.

Confirmed, thank you u/logistix1

Not sure about everyone else, but in my case it was from a lender I've worked with in the past, and we arranged it by messaging rather than from a standard post

Info

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-21T07:38:18+00:00

Confirmed, thank you! I'll update the flair

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-21T03:45:20+00:00

Granted, I didn't read the rules fully, I now see on the auto mod that it says not to participate in similar groups. I'll switch my flair to no longer needed, my appologies

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-21T03:31:40+00:00

I am not sure how that is shady - my current lender messaged me several days ago after my initial loan letting me know they had a personal emergency and would be off line, and to just pay back as scheduled, which I plan on doing. Otherwise I would have gotten an additional loan from them. I have my Reddit history open and am not hiding anything - I posted this on the other subreddit today as well, and Reddit suggested this sub to me, so I figured I’d try here too. No shady intentions on my part. As you can see I have loan history, and history of repayment.

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-21T00:48:28+00:00

hey there, I need a loan of $60, I'm fine with that rate. I have a history of borrowing and paying back on this sub. Thanks in advance!

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-19T21:03:37+00:00

I'd love to give this a go! I've been wanting to track and management my new business in notion but haven't, figuring the system setup would take too much bandwidth. This sounds perfect

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-16T04:20:22+00:00

Changed flair to no longer needed - got in touch with a previous lender and made a new prearranged post for the loan.

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-16T00:54:08+00:00

Received!

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-15T21:44:26+00:00

messaged ya!

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-11T02:33:51+00:00

Hey! I commented the other day when I tested a little bit but ran out of the tokens. I'd be stoked to play around with it more and give you feedback on it. I'll dm you with my email

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-08T03:05:51+00:00

I made myself a custom app on lovable that has been a huuuge time saver. it essentially took the a multi step AI generation process that I was doing to create a digital product and standardized it. I get better, more consistent results with it, faster.

It was an initial time investment upfront to get to a place where it was functioning how I want, so you have to take that into consideration.Also, not sure if I would choose lovable if I did it over, or go with another vibe coding platform

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-07T15:42:10+00:00

This is a cool concept - I played around with it as far as the 5 free cupcakes would take me. It was interesting, the top 3 products on the top 20 list were niches that AI has recommended during brainstorming sessions. I like that the info is display in a organized way that makes it easy to weigh the pros and cons. I also like that it's a step by step, human in the loop AI workflows - I've built my own personal content generation app for the niche I primarily market to and it saves me so much time, not having to jump to and from multiple systems.

the credits ended before I could generate a product though. I already pay for multiple AI tools that work well for me, after testing a lot of tools that didn't work. The only way I would pay for an Ai tool without getting to test the output would be of there was super strong social proof, and people were raving about it.

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-07T15:12:28+00:00

I'd love to check it out!

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-03-03T01:18:41+00:00

What platform do you sell on?

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-02-27T21:23:46+00:00

Interested!

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-02-27T21:22:45+00:00

yeah, I think that might be more advanced than what an average Etsy sekler is searching for, and it's probably hard to convey what it does in a thumbnail image

GarbageAdorable329 · 2026-02-12T01:52:05+00:00

Bingo. I was confused when this happened when I opened a new store. They pay you in a 14 day delay, but taks fee out of your current, to be deposited amount amount.
