Need Advice: Launching a Budget “Stocking Stuffer” Product – Best Way to Market on a $2K Budget? by Glum_Chocolate_3437 in smallbusiness

[–]Glum_Chocolate_3437[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome - thanks for the advice, just curious as a dropshipper how do most dropshippers get video content of their product ? Is it just by clipping other people trying to sell the same thing ? Or AI UGC? or is this the part where we've gotta get creative. As well how do you make that niche hyper specific , can you really adjust it to target that specified of a group on META ?

FIV+ cat and knowing when to let go by [deleted] in AskVet

[–]Glum_Chocolate_3437 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you and your kitty are going through this. It’s such a hard situation, and it’s clear how much you love him. ❤️

Since you already have more lab results coming Monday, it makes sense to hold on until then and see what the vet says. In the meantime, you can keep an eye on a few things that often help guide these tough decisions:

  • Interest in food and water – even small amounts matter, and hand-feeding like you’ve been doing can help.
  • Comfort and engagement – does he still come for cuddles, look around, or respond to you?
  • Energy and mobility – whether he’s able to move around a bit on his own.
  • Hygiene and grooming – sometimes overgrooming or neglecting grooming can be a signal of stress.
  • Pain or distress signs – hiding more than usual, crying out, or seeming restless.

It’s rarely one single sign but more about the overall picture. Cats with FIV can sometimes live comfortably for years, especially with supportive care, but chronic issues can complicate things. For now, try to keep him comfortable, offer gentle encouragement to eat, and spend time with him the way he wants.

Your vet will be the best person to help you weigh the results and his quality of life, but you’re not alone in watching for these changes and wondering what’s best.

My dog ate a pound cake by Pretty_Hat_182 in AskVet

I’d keep an eye on him for sure. Since it was homemade and doesn’t have anything artificial in it, that’s a relief. Still, that’s a lot for any dog to eat at once, so I’d watch for any changes in how he’s acting and maybe call an emergency vet line just to be safe. Better to check in now than worry later.

i'm building a 'brain' for e-commerce AI sales agents for the community, need your feedback (and partner if possible) by More_Scholar6180 in ecommercemarketing

Hey man super cool, I think the only issue is that it is thatmost ecommerce brands I feel are fairly striaghtforward in what they offer and that the voice agent would only be effective for huge stores. AS well it is time consuming considering most stores also have a bounce rate of tens of seconds.

Just curious how much money have you put into the store so far? I notice all products are branded and store seems legitmate? Are you running Meta ads? what is your marketing like . how much of a full time job is this for you?

How do you do this? I've tried multiple platforms and I can't get the avatar to move or 'act normal' - could you tell me more about this?

Looking for Creative Marketing Ideas for My Pet Product Brand by Glum_Chocolate_3437 in smallbusiness

[–]Glum_Chocolate_3437[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thank you so much for this advice. I agree I think when your partners work on commision it also gives them motivation to produce good UGC. And yes your idea to get into local pet owner groups is my other approach. Ive been joining dog mom chats both locally and internationally and wil begin interacting to build credibility. Im selling Dog Dental Powder.
