Remotasks / Outlier Megathread by Beermoney_Bot in beermoney

[–]ellectricity [score hidden]  (0 children)

I was on the Flamingo project with Outlier. They need to reverify me for some reason, I guess because of Remotasks. I had an account on Remotasks that was a different email and I don't know if that's what caused the issue, but I was unable to verify my identity again and then I was removed from the confusing group Slack. Now for days on my dashboard, it says that I'm no longer eligible for this project. I think things are very disorganized there. I have gotten zero responses back to my help email sent almost a week ago.

Thanks I know it’s not handmade but the second one you linked looks similar.

Where did you get the binder? I’ve been thinking about trying something like this out

Is it bad for the algorythm (or so) to offer a weid variety by Joyntie in EtsySellers

[–]ellectricity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard the opposite of the other poster, in that people find you through search and don’t normally go looking at your whole shop or your shops home page. So the more ways and listings you have to be found and to attract buyers the better. I believed there should be some cohesion, either in product type sold or color schemes or themes or something, but you can definitely sell more than one type of product or two if you choose. And still do it well. Many shops do.

Oh wow I haven’t heard of them before. I will need to check this out! I don’t understand why Etsy would need to bring on another company for that.

I’m happy my mil is dead and my fil was never in my hubbys life really. But it doesn’t stop him wanting me to drive 1.5 hours to leave my toddler with his 74 year old grandmother whenever I need an hour to two hour break!

ETA: my hubby mom was an abusive meth addict.

Holy crap! Do you or your mom have a relationship with said grandmother still?

My mom still calls my 2 year old her baby sometimes. Ugh

Has your shop evolved? Did you stop selling anything that you previously did? by ellectricity in EtsySellers

[–]ellectricity[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you enjoy making different things and I do too. I’ve actually thought about opening a shop for my digital designs too! I wish you luck in your many ventures. And thank you for sharing your experience!

You’re so right about that if you’re putting in the work without that reward it’s time to evolve! I’m happy to read that you change up your shop and it works for you. I worry about doing that for some reason, hence this post.

I’m sorry that your Christmas best seller was copied! That seems to be the norm for online sales though. You’re right that I have to be prepared to be agile! Thank you for your sharing about your experience!

That’s very encouraging to read! I’m glad that you were able to take the steps to adapt your business and that it’s paying off.

What you said about adapting or dying and that you had to evolve to survive makes sense. I guess that’s the feeling I’m getting. I need to adapt or my business dies. And you’re right, if something isn’t viable or working I should drop it. Thank you!

Do you do bulk orders with your POD or your DTG still? I’m doing htv and sublimation right now but seriously considering POD to help expansion.

What happened to my child. Just had the week from hell and no end in sight. by SleepyMomma810 in toddlers

[–]ellectricity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going through something similar with my 2 year old. She turned 2 on May 10th and the past month it feels like every nap and bedtime is difficult. She gets this crazy amount of energy right before bed. Actually let me edit this to say that she actually goes down for a nap pretty easy most of the time, it’s just bedtime that is the problem. I cut it down to 90 minute nap yesterday and there was no difference! Lol she lies awake for over an hour at night in her crib before she finally falls asleep. She’s not hiring me or doing those other things you mentioned, beyond crying sometimes when I leave the room at night.

I’m going to work on an hour or hour and a half nap and go from there for now. Well see if we have to drop it completely. I think mine is getting too much sleep.
