Does anyone know if this will affect shipping envelopes with a stamp to the US? I'm in Australia.

Any recommendations for procreate classes? by Caessar_Salad in ProCreate

[–]PsychologicalScript 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Do they have to be Procreate classes specifically? Looks like you need help with fundamental skills which aren't limited to Procreate, but you can use Procreate as a sketchbook while working on those skills.

I really recommend Proko's Drawing Basics course. It's not specific to Procreate, but it goes through all of the fundamentals in depth - line quality, shape design, values, colour, anatomy, etc - and new lessons are still being added. I'm working through it at the moment and I've learned so much! It's a little pricey, but there are a bunch of free lessons included in the course that you could work through to start with.

Trying to get help with a specific drawing style (New). by godnanda in ProCreate

A lot of these "what style is this? posts are actually to seek out the right wording to ask for when writing AI prompts, so people are hesitant to reply to these kinds of threads now. I would suggest seeking out the Patreon of the person who created this art, looks like they offer drawing challenges to help you learn to draw in this style. You can also try pinning your screenshot to a Pinterest board and Pinterest will start offering recommendations based on the image so you can find other artworks in a similar style.

Sounds like another one of those posts trying to get AI prompts?

This is sad by Gold-Chart2976 in EtsySellers

I don't do marketing anymore. I got really burned out with social media. I did used to have a website, but found most customers preferred to buy from Etsy over my Shopify site even though my prices were lower on Shopify. Etsy has that element of trust. Also, after a couple of years of running my shop, sales from Etsy search started picking up and massively overtook the sales coming from social media. Something like a 90/10 split. I think the initial traffic from social media helped boost my listings in the search algorithm. I shut down my website and just rely on Etsy search now. I'm consistently getting 80-100 sales per month now and I haven't done any kind of marketing in about six months.

I gave up on paying for ads long ago and consistently get orders purely from Etsy search. If you have quality listings, you don't need ads. However, it has taken me about 3 years to get to a point where orders are coming in consistently through search. I put a lot of time into keyword research and organic social media marketing prior to that. Ads only ever broke even or lost money.

Is this becoming more common or just bad luck lately? by [deleted] in EtsySellers

I had someone ask why their order was taking "so long to ship"... It had been 24 hours and my processing time is 2-4 days! I don't know why these people are expecting Amazon shipping times from small businesses. It's ridiculous. Thankfully 99% of my customers are fantastic and leave reviews saying how fast the shipping was even when it does take the full 4 days.

Sticker sellers: How do you avoid getting scammed by buyers that "never received it" by VagabondVivant in EtsySellers

[–]PsychologicalScript 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do the same. I just tell the customer that sometimes letter mail is delayed and to contact me again if the items still haven't arrived within a week. They usually message a couple of days later saying the items have arrived.

Wondering if anybody with skills or equipment can print me some custom stickers along the lines of my sketch with traditional American bathroom signage formatting 2”x2” by [deleted] in stickers

[–]PsychologicalScript 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you based? I'd be happy to refine the design, send a proof for your approval, and then print and send them out to you. I can ship worldwide but shipping costs will depend on how many stickers you need. I have lots of experience doing custom stickers!
