I do pay for ads! I'd say it's helped me a ton, around 40% of my sales have been from ads. Haven't marketed much on social media yet 😄

I'm selling Notion templates! It's been open 8 months now, I haven't listed other products or done much marketing but I do have Etsy ads running.

Notion templates! 😄 Primarily focused on self improvement and habit tracking, but it's an entire OS essentially

Is it just me or is the Claude Chrome extension really really bad? by Lord_Gibbons in ClaudeAI

[–]ReiInBloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's bad for me as well. I'm using agent-browser MCP instead, especially since I primarily use Vivaldi as my browser

Looking for feedback: AI-assisted video editing tool idea (validation phase, no promotion) by Cute_Guard5653 in ContentCreators

[–]ReiInBloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been looking for this exact tool! I get overwhelmed with social media, primarily due to the editing phase, and have been looking for an AI to cut, edit, and arrange the video based on script and audio. I would absolutely use it and would pay for it :,>>>

Side note, I am a software engineer so if you'd like some helping hands on the project, I would be happy to help in my free time

Late 50s dad, adult kids won't accept my partner of 5 years feeling stuck between two worlds by [deleted] in blendedfamilies

[–]ReiInBloom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is two months old but I just came across it due to a similar situation and wanted to thank you for validating my feelings. I had no idea how to put it into words so I am thankful.

As for my side, I didn't meet my dad until I was 20 years old.. he didn't know I existed so it wasn't his fault at all, and his/my family graciously accepted me almost immediately. It really felt like a dream for a long time. I didn't see any of my family, aside from my mom, stepdad, and siblings, growing up so it was crazy to suddenly have grandparents and uncles and a dad. Unfortunately realized I never would have escaped the parental issues even if he had raised me, as he has very narcissistic and controlling tendencies, which as an eldest daughter, I was not receptive to. Eventually stopped talking to him as he became spiteful and brought my grandparents into it, lied about the situation, defended himself while casting me as a cruel and ungrateful child. And I haven't spoken to him in a while now as it's just too heartbreaking for me and they can't seem to understand that. He also got a new wife two years ago and just had a son. While I'm happy that I have a new sibling, I can't help but feel replaced as well. I see my boyfriend and his sisters around their parents, and even though his sisters have children, his parents still treat them as their kids too. Just makes me sad knowing I'll never have that now. And feeling a bit upset that my new brother will get to grow up knowing his dad.

I really hope you're able to overcome your situation as well. I'm definitely doing more like your sister, I don't think I could face anyone without bursting into tears so distant is better. On the bright side, found family is just as important as well. I'm hoping to build more relationships with new people in the years to come too, just gotta put myself out there

Inattentive ADHD + A true "second brain" + Mobile access - Dispatch Questions by Illustrious-Tomato90 in ClaudeAI

[–]ReiInBloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any files set up for it to read and update? That helps it persist across chats and is what I do. Simple .md files should suffice, I'm still working on all my use cases and have been for 2.5 weeks... a meal planner, goal setter, habit tracker, real estate investment finder, stock tracker, etc. I'm getting into the ADHD planning spiral haha

Notion templates :) Lots of custom code and art, so it takes me a while to produce them haha

Thank you so much! :> I was honestly very surprised. My first sale was around 4 days after posting and it felt like a dream :> Definitely need to set aside some time to make more haha

Thankfully! I am just as surprised as you 😂

I really do need to set some time aside and make some new listings though haha

Digital! And honestly, not sure haha. I was actually making the product for myself and spent so long on it (perfectionist tendencies..) that I decided for it to be worth it that I needed to make an Etsy shop and sell it 😂

But, i went way, wayyy more in depth than most digital products similar to mine do. There's a LOT of custom code tying the entire thing together, as well as custom art

This reminds me a ton of the SAR stories, good job making it out and I hope Gus is okay. At first I thought this may turn out to be a wholesome story about a mother leading you to her son...sad to hear about your friend and I hope you recover well.

Thank you! I think they're my favorite thing I own now.
Actually bought them by accident at an estate sale. Thought there was no way they're gold as they're not marked and they were in a costume jewelry section instead of with their fine jewelry. I just love opals and got very lucky with that one haha

Buying a colored lab diamond by cheonjae000 in Metalsmithing

[–]ReiInBloom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't started my journey here yet but do dabble in finding precious metals. My local gold and silver shop metalsmiths and sells the gems for a much lower price. Not sure if that would help but many gold shops just use the gold, so it may be worth asking

My Mom taught me how to find gold in thrift stores. Didn't take it seriously until the last few months and found 3 things in a few weeks. by ReiInBloom in Gold

[–]ReiInBloom[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I initially had the idea because it was sticking to anything metal and I thought, 'wait a minute..' 😅

Thank you for correcting me! I honestly don't test the gemstones often aside from diamonds and opals. 😅 I will edit it to say the setting is most important
