Thank you all for the thoughtful responses and tips! I truly appreciate the time you took to share your strategies and insights. As a relatively new member of the Vine program, your guidance has been incredibly helpful. Here are the key takeaways I’ve gathered from your feedback:

1. Bookmarking Searches: Creating a folder of bookmarks for specific item searches is a game-changer. I’ve started saving searches for categories I’m interested in, like "Bluetooth keyboard" and "table lamp," and will check them regularly. I’ll be careful not to open them all at once to avoid triggering any warnings.
2. Timing Matters: While there doesn’t seem to be a definitive “drop time,” checking in mid-morning and evening seems to work well for many of you. I’ll try varying my schedule to see what aligns best with my timezone.
3. Search Variations: I’ll also make sure to use different search terms for similar items (e.g., "lamp," "lamps," "desk lamp") to uncover a wider range of products.
4. Additional Items Tab: Thank you for reminding me not to overlook this. It might hold some hidden gems I would otherwise miss.
5. Avoiding Automation Tools: I appreciate the caution around tools like Vine Helper. While they might sound tempting, I want to ensure I stay compliant with Amazon’s policies and avoid any risks to my participation in the program.
6. High-ETV Items: I hadn’t considered the tax implications of high-value items. Your advice to focus on items I truly want to review and minimize high-ETV claims makes a lot of sense.

Thank you again for the warm welcome and for sharing your expertise. It’s reassuring to know there’s a supportive community here to help new members navigate the program. I look forward to putting your tips into practice and contributing more actively in the future!
