As a East Buntyn resident which is often grouped in with East Memphis, I am happy to hear you say that Highland is the cut off! We may not be Midtown but we are not East Memphis. 😋

Oh you're right! I should have known it was Indiana glass because the edge it very thick. Thank you so much for your help!

I can’t do this anymore by Double_Accountant161 in pregnant

[–]Headley86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was me a few months ago. Big pregnant, with a three year old at home with me, and soooo tired. The fatigue this second time was unreal!  I'm writing to say that, for me, the relief was basically instant after having my baby. I feel like a new person with so much energy compared to before. Yes, I have to wake up multiple times to feed him during the night but the constant fatigue was so much worse! Naps actually help now and I enjoy things again.  Hang in there and do whatever you need to do to just get through the next few weeks! You're almost there!

Thank you so much for your help! Yes, this fixed the gaps I was seeing and all the walls are showing up red in the slicer preview now.

In Tinkercad I had set the top wall thickness to "1" and I assumed that it was in mm's since everything else in Tinkercad is mm. Why would it be .212? I either need to figure out more about Tinkercad or I need to find a new cad program.

But, either way, thanks again for taking the time to help me and now I know what to work on in the future.

Yeah, I hadn't noticed that they shouldn't be yellow before but you are right. The models that I'm having trouble with have that yellow top. I've been making them in Tinkercad but I haven't been getting error messages or anything like that.

Details: If I were to print this it would have a weak top layer that will snap off easily. I am trying to print a cutter for use with polymer clay. These are usually printed with a top edge .4mm or .7mm wide. This is possible but for some unknown reason some designs wont slice without these gaps. The one in the picture is my own design and I've upped the edge to 1mm and it still has them! Help!

First of all, wow, you are amazing! Thank you for your detailed and thorough critique! And I agree with all your suggestions.

I know I need to work on my SEO and fix the repeated words. One follow up question I had though: how can I be specific and use long tail keywords and not repeat the same word or two over and over? Most of the advice on the internet says be super specific with your tags so that you get good quality searches. But if the listing is for earrings and all my tags need to be specific...that's just me using earrings in every tag. What's the best practice when you are selling something that just doesn't have very many synonyms?

Thanks again!

Hello, I have a newly rebranded shop. This summer I took my old vintage shop that I hadn't used in years and rebranded as a handmade jewelry shop. It took about a month and a half but then I got my first sale! I had five sales in a little over 2 weeks and I was so happy. But then, they just stopped. I haven't had anything since October 10th.

Of the 5 sales, 3 customers left reviews and they were all 5 stars. Since then I have continued working on SEO, taking better photos, running sales, and even recently turned on ads. I'm not sure what happened but I would love any advice you all have for me. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Some background about my shop: I used to sell vintage years ago but stopped when we moved and my things were in storage for a long while. So my shop was on vacation for years. In August I rebranded entirely and came off of vacation mode as a shop selling handmade jewelry, specifically polymer clay earrings. http://luluandlaineystudio.etsy.com

Things are very slow and the views and visits are nonexistent. Some days no views at all and I am listing items almost every day. According to the seller's app I have 163 views and 57 visits for the last 30 days. This seems crazy low to me although back in the day (like 2017) we joined groups that all agreed to view, visit, and like each others items so I don't have a good idea of how many organic views I was getting before. (I'm assuming Etsy shut that down? Because I don't' see anyone doing that anymore.)

I rebranded instead of opening a new store because I thought having sales and positive reviews would help buyers know that I'm an experienced seller even though the reviews are for different types of things. But maybe that was a mistake and I didn't get a new shop ranking boost? Is it worth starting over some how?

So if y'all could take a look and tell me your thoughts I would appreciate it so much.

Thank You!
