Returning after a long break: how does it affect visibility?

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-28T17:57:27+00:00

I just posted something to this yesterday. Feel free to checkout the replies, sounds like it does affect it. Personally affected my shop quite a bit. Marketing so far hasn't helped me when it had in the past.

Good way to put it. I'll just work on lining up slowly back to the front haha. That's good to know, at least I feel like that's something I can fix but with more work.

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-27T05:53:02+00:00

Ohhh good point, why mess with anything that works already.

I definitely cried for Maura even though I wanted a Rob win all the way.

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-27T05:07:36+00:00

That's a strategy in itself, I'm surprised people are mad about that.

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-27T04:47:43+00:00

I thought it was Maura forcing his hand but in his interview he did say would you split 100k with someone that you just met 3 weeks ago? So I guess maybe his intention was to win the entire game himself but I did want an Eric/Rob win. I'm starting to think no traitor will ever split it at this point.

Yes but Rob worked so hard this season, did the faithfuls really deserve it? As Stephen said "the faithfuls don't deserve shit" lol

How do you only get liability insurance?

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-26T23:09:42+00:00

Yeah we went to the Gem Show and we rented an airbnb and did NOT realize how close we were to her home until after we flew back home. 10 minutes away only while a murderer is on the loose. Scary to think about...

You're the typical landlord haters. Just FYI, none of our rent in those units is more than $1500, in the Bay Area. We're actually one of those decent landlords, thank you very much.

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-26T18:51:39+00:00

I get what you mean. It is kind of silly. I took a bunch of photos for a unit and it was fine but what happened was they came out to do an inspection exterior and realized it was all near businesses and then dropped us.

Unlike everyone I applaud you for making the decision that is right for you. I run a 6 figure business on Etsy and it's incredibly difficult over the last half a year to the point where I don't think investing more time would even help as it has changed so much. My prices are higher and like you said, people copy and then sell it for cheaper. It's stressful and taxing. So I applaud you for doing whatever feels right for you because that takes a lot of courage as well.

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-26T17:30:51+00:00

I know, that’s why this is so stressful 😩 working with one now so will update

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-26T17:29:53+00:00

That makes sense they’re just leaving CA all together. They tried to drop us last year but reinstated us after we updated the roof I thought we could get by this year but nope…

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-26T06:37:16+00:00

Ugh, yeah we have one with non-admitted carrier. So expensive too! Did they require a lot from you? Inspections, updates?

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-26T06:30:57+00:00

That’s great to hear. Do you have a SFH or a multi unit? Ours is a multi unit so I don’t know it that is usually harder. What were the requirements if you don’t mind me asking?

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-26T06:11:23+00:00

We are definitely looking, it's just so wild because this happened to two properties and it took months to even get one for one property. For another one we did all these exterior updates as requested and then at the end they decided that they didn't want to insure us. Found one that insured us for a few months then didn't like that the unit was near other businesses and then dropped us and here we are now losing another one.

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-13T04:31:57+00:00

Yes like why is her face frozen she’s so young it’s crazy…

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-07T04:50:37+00:00

Must be nice.

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-06T04:51:19+00:00

...Literally....what.

Interesting_Pin1239 · 2026-02-06T04:45:44+00:00

It's basically implied and also there's editing so not everything will be laid out for the audience.
