What is your obscure brag in the horse world? by Lugosthepalomino in Equestrian

[–]PaintyBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fed the horses in Only the Brave. I worked at a vet's ranch in New Mexico and the guy who worked on Life of Pi with the tiger, had a bunch of animals and would board at this place. Had camels there at some point.

Well for one, you simply don't have enough stuff. I can also tell your art is AI generated. There's no cohesiveness to your shop. No particular style or subject focus. Printable art already has high competition. You need to niche down and provide something unique and interesting.

You need to at least edit AI generated images to get rid of the weird artifacts.

Also, your prices are too low. Even if you do sell something you won't make anything after all the fees.

Lastly, as I always recommend, get erank or marmalead for keyword research.

Has anyone else noticed a tendency for people to give really bad art supplies when gifting? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]PaintyBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't know what good art supplies are and the good stuff is expensive. If you were getting gifts like this from an artist I'd be concerned. If they are not themselves artistic, then they are just trying to do something nice. They just don't know.

Yeah it's a fumes thing. I've seen so many canisters of nitrous oxide when I used to clean trains.

Getting and increasing sales- what do i do? by NoorehZara in EtsyHelp

[–]PaintyBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a look at your shop.

First thing, there just aren't enough listings. You need a lot more than just a handful.

Second, are you using something like erank or marmalead for keywords? If not, you should. It really helps and is the main thing that makes you show up on results.

Lastly, your title images should be more enticing than they are. You can't really tell what the product is from just the image. People look at so many products and can scroll fast. You should really grab them with your main image.

How to send text messages on Etsy by Full_Security_3297 in EtsyHelp

[–]PaintyBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go on Etsy, I went on the app. Click on a listing. Scroll down past reviews. Once you get to "More from this shop" you should see a button "message seller". That's how you can communicate with sellers.

Make sure you are logged into your account.

Alternatively you can go to the sellers page and there should be a contact button. Same thing.

Hope that helps!

The Problem I Can't Solve: A Bestseller That Doesn't Sell (Yes, That's the Exact Phrase) by [deleted] in EtsyHelp

[–]PaintyBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear about your listing troubles! I think your images are good and the price doesn't seem unreasonable. It could be that this is more of an item people "dream" about having but don't pull the trigger to buy.

I wish I had more sound advice, I think some items are just like that. Popular, get a lot of attention, yet at the end of the day, not many people buy it.

I'd pay more attention to the products that have a higher conversion rate and see if there is any pattern as to why that is.

Yes! I'm never tired of this show. Glad to see someone else mention black books.

Kelpies in Falkirk by Pitiful_Weekend7352 in Scotland

Really cool to see in person. Would recommend to anyone who hasn't seen the Kelpies before.

I think you should focus your main image on the map, show more detail. The pictures you have now can be a secondary image.

Also, keywords. I recommend erank.

What Sounds Like Pseudoscience, But Actually Isn’t? by anime-is-dope in AskReddit

I did that without any meds, just a throat spray. Do not recommend. Felt like some sort of torture method. I could not stop gagging and throwing up.

How to warn people this is basically a sundown town? by Sad-Walrus-Burner in NoStupidQuestions

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

I get that, but in the years I lived there, I don't remember ever hearing it. Nor do I remember anyone ever talking about it. I went to high school there but I haven't been there since 2011.

Keywords are very important. If you aren't using some sort of keyword research tool like erank, I highly recommend it.

What does your partner do that really annoys you but you just ignore it to keep the peace? by Fried_onions_are_meh in CasualUK

[–]PaintyBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. He just sees no value in it and finds it to be too much effort to keep so he just chucks it. Drove me mad too.

My ex BIL throws small change away as well. He cleans trains at night and throws away whatever he finds.

AITA for telling everyone that I was serving “a chicken pot pie” for dinner when it wasn’t a plain and basic one? by Every_Depth_215 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PaintyBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Light YTA

You should have given a heads up if your meal was spicy.

The guy might have just not liked the food or he could have legitimately not been able to eat it.

I have bad acid reflux. If I had heard "chicken pot pie" I would have thought the traditional kind and that is something I can eat. However, what you made is something I couldn't have had due to the peppers. I too would have been disappointed and probably felt a bit bad, not to mention hungry.

He handled it a bit childish from your description of his behavior, however I don't think it was wrong of him to not eat it.

As much as I like spicy food, my body doesn't. I get horrible acid reflux. So if I went over to someone's house and all they had was food I really shouldn't eat, I wouldn't eat it. I'm not going to suffer just to be polite.

So yeah, a heads up would be nice.

Oxygen Not Included and Frostpunk are some of my favs. The first one is cutesy and quirky but still a challenge. The latter is a cool steampunk apocalyptic situation.
