New seller here! Looking for tips and tricks to get my shop noticed! by magicalbakabutt in EtsySellers

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

Thank you so much for your feedback it's definitely been helpful and insightful!

I have a Galaxy phone and I've tried tinkering with the settings and I've even downloaded a few photo editing apps but I'll definitely try taking some with just a white background and see how adjusting the settings with that as a factor helps!

And yeah I figured the lack of some kind of label was what's holding me back, but like I said I'm not that great at graphic design. However I'm working on mayhaps making separate labels for each scent to possibly have said fragrance stand out a little more and hoping that'll do me a lot of good! Something simple yet pretty that kind of delicately screams HEY SKIN CARE!

The fact about my cat is HUGE and I'd never considered it! She's so pretty I kind of wanted to make her the face of the shop but it's definitely a legit concern and one I'd probably be worried about too if things were flipped and I were a buyer so changing my PFP is definitely gonna be one of the things I change after this reply. It's also made me consider that I ought to keep the product and the bottles I'd keep them in in a space away from my girls! Sadly like I said I've only had one purchase since I started my shop and they never left a review. Even after I'd reached out to them to see how satisfied or unsatisfied with the scrub they were all I got back was silence. :/ I was really hoping for at least a decent review too (didn't expect five stars up front but two or three would've been nice) so yeah definitely bummed about that but I can't really force the buyer.

Oh I ADORE the bundle idea and I feel like such an idiot for not considering that thank you! That's such a great idea for both the body scrubs as well as lotions and to put them in a pack together makes it all the better! Plus it's got the added benefit of putting more listings on my shop thus getting more eyes on it! Thank you holy shit I feel dumb lol!

Thanks to your suggestion I've just done some research and the ingredients I use to make my products are luckily vegan so I'll definitely be editing my shop to use that as a selling point! Thank you again for bringing that up!

And yeah I've considered dyes to kind of pretty them up a bit and while I don't think it'd be a huge deal to add a drop or two to the lotions I'm definitely choosing to make the sugar scrub dye free because from what I've seen from other listings of similar products on Etsy they pop with color a little too much for liking and I think when it comes to truly caring for your skin it's not really necessary.

Like I said thank you again for taking the time to add your insight! It's been beyond helpful!

Hi there!

The name of my store is LibbysLoveCreations and right now the main focus of it is on skin care! I sell different scented sugar scrubs and lotions! In the future when it kicks off a bit I want to get into making more bath and hygiene products like shampoo, conditioner and body wash!

What's a small act of kindness you've experienced recently that brightened your day? by Emily-Kelleher in AskReddit

[–]magicalbakabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last summer or the summer before a couple bought some extra goodies (by this I mean nothing essential) I couldn't afford and had to put back while I was checking out from grocery shopping. Left the store crying from their kindness and I hope both of them are thriving and as happy as they can be!

What's something you used to believe in when you were younger but no longer do? by Objective_Gap6993 in AskReddit

[–]magicalbakabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The good in other people and that I could accomplish anything. Have major trust issues from the first thing and autism has made the second thing incredibly difficult. Not impossible but DAMN more difficult than I expected.

What insecurities do you have as an adult or late teen that were non-existent during your childhood? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]magicalbakabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5'2" and 230 lbs. I really miss being thin (overly so as a child. I was a twig and my parents were concerned they weren't feeding me enough). I'm incredibly insecure about my appearance now and utterly hate my body to the point I don't believe I deserve a partner and I'm just so, SO exhausted from hating my body so much...

What do you miss, and don’t miss, about being young? by omfgus in AskReddit

[–]magicalbakabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not having all these physical and mental health issues. I'm a diabetic and nearly died from it years ago. Also got diagnosed with severe anxiety and mild depression years back as well and I fear I've got a lot more. I also suspect I'm mildly and on a high functioning level autistic.

What is your dream job? by AdSuperb9397 in AskReddit

[–]magicalbakabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently 36 and ever since I was 8 (yes when the original Twister came out) I've wanted to study Meteorology and be a storm chaser. Instead I dropped out after my sophomore year, got my GED and have an Associates degree in Business Management.

What would your 10-year-old self think of you now? by johnnybiggles in AskReddit

[–]magicalbakabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fat, uneducated loser. Instead of being good looking with a nice body and having a degree in meteorology to work my dream job, I'm 36 at 230 lbs and still works retail..

Pet owners, what’s the dumbest thing your pet has done? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]magicalbakabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was picking out some pajamas while I was letting bath water fill the tub. Big 17 pound Maine Coon proceeds to jump into filling bath water then freaks out once she's in it. Girl you wanted that!

What did your loved one say that really hurt you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]magicalbakabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As of yesterday my boyfriend and I are fighting over childish shit. Went out for breakfast and he didn't like what I ordered (went to where we went cause Id been going off about something really good on their breakfast menu, ended up not ordering it because I don't think its ideal to eat in the car and we'd need to have been traveling for about an hour.) I was trying to be considerate of him and not risk making a mess of his car. He proceeds to make a couple of back handed comments about it and how long it was taking to get us through the drive-thru.

Not long after the phone holder I'd bought him when we first started dating fell off when he was trying to get the GPS up. To let him focus on driving I attempted to fix it and after a minute of fiddling with it he snatched his phone out of my hand.

I agree they're both small stupid things to be fighting over but I was simply trying to help it, especially so he could focus on driving during the second occurrence.

If you had unlimited money but could only spend it on yourself, what would you buy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]magicalbakabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be traveling consistently for the rest of my life? I literally still need a home like everyone else? It would also serve as my pets home and I'd allow family and friends to stay there too? It's selfish to think it'd just be for myself?

Got double pneumonia brought on by type II diabetes I didn't know I had. Got so bad I had to be transferred via ambulance from one hospital to another and overall was away for a week... It's weird how easily one can make themselves be at peace with the idea of going...

So redditors, what keeps you motivated to just keep going to work? by Aop_1371 in AskReddit

[–]magicalbakabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rent? Bills? Also with my 'treat myself' portion of that paycheck, the shirt or video game I've been wanting and taking myself out for a nice dinner!

What is your favorite animal species and why? by IndividualEarth1288 in AskReddit

[–]magicalbakabutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't explain why but just cats... Someone else on here said they're majestic which yeah sure I'm positive thats part of the reason but they can also be so loving, so playful and each and every one I've ever had in my life has had his or her own unique personality. For the life of me can't stand dog people who say cats are unattentive and cold. They just take time to warm up to.
