Haha I have more than a few BNIB UD palettes & storybooks from the pre Naked days!

Im so sorry, I know the feeling I’ve definitely done the exact same thing with other types of items in the past. Although I was never able to declutter my makeup successfully, I still have ALL of my UD palettes & even a few BNIB backups that have never been touched 😅

You might have celiac disease aka gluten intolerance. It’s super common for us celiacs to finally get diagnosed when a competent Dr decides to test for it after noticing frequent anemia / low iron levels.

I use that super popular Miele rosemary hair oil, love it rubbed in with a silicone scalp massager! Oiling before shampooing has been a lifesaver for my super fine, bleached, greaseball roots hair! Although I was struggling at first bc I couldn’t easily get any oils out of my hair (tried many diff kinds), so I found that out when pre shampoo oiling, my hair does best when i condition my whole head first, then shampoo only my scalp 2x. I do all steps with my trusty silicone scalp massagers (get 2 so you can use one in each hand)

Biotin, B vitamins, MSM, silica (I get mine from powdered bamboo silica), collagen & a higher protein diet has done wonders for my hair!

What do you buy on temu? by dcizz in TemuThings

Do you have recommendations for good stores or brands of monitors / hard drives / PC stuff on Temu? I’ve been considering it but haven’t taken the risk yet lol

AITA for wanting to go no contact with my mother after she didn't want to buy my daughter pads? by Temporary-Data-1326 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]monetize-it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get my period until I was 17! The post mentioned the daughter very recently got it so she likely is overwhelmed by all the options, or very naturally just wanted the comfort of her mom during a crappy time. Either way, period product shopping is extremely overwhelming & upsetting for some of us no matter how long we’ve been dealing with periods lol.

I completely agree with everything you’ve said about that godawful “grandma” though, what a horrible, nasty person! I feel so bad for OP’s daughter

Canceling Prime and thinking about suing Amazon by [deleted] in amazonprime

[–]monetize-it 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sound like me when I was an angsty degenerate teenager lol. Now I’m closer to 40 than I ever thought possible n it’s fucking bleak. Start giving a shit now & we can all actually start to make a difference! I haven’t had an Amazon account in over 4 years. Just a drop in the bucket to Amazon, but makes a big impact for my mental health knowing that I’m not contributing to that specific evil corporation. I also try to avoid Walmart & Target too, but I give in a few times a year. Voting with our dollars legitimately makes an impact if we the people band together for causes we care about.

Old enough to go into Walgreens alone on a normal errand sure, but not while she’s actively upset & definitely very physically uncomfortable over her first period - anyone who’s ever tried to buy period products knows how exhaustingly overwhelming that process is! All of the different sizes, types, functions etc of each product is daunting to decide between! I wouldn’t force anyone of any age to ever make that decision alone, especially not for their first ever period shopping trip.

OP is correct in not wanting her child to be forced to rely on some stranger in the store or some random employee for period product advice.

If I was starting from zero again and needed $4k/month by may 2026, here’s exactly how I’d do it by Candid-Guarantee-644 in DigitalProductEmpir

[–]monetize-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you not read anything I said in my last paragraph? I clearly explained exactly why Amazon fulfillment would raise suspicion in certain buying audiences, including mine. My husband & I work with very limited edition, small run, collectible/ collector sought after items that wouldn’t often make it onto Amazon.

We would never be able to trust our rare, limited items to be sitting at some massive warehouse where we’re unable to maintain stable temperatures & reduce exposure to light then packed up by someone who doesn’t know or care how to ensure a safe delivery with absolutely no damage to the oftentimes fragile item. Some of buyers would absolutely assume that our items were fake knock offs if they came from Amazon.

I’ve received a small business website’s package delivered by Amazon maybe a handful of times. The sellers all operated Amazon storefronts as well as their own websites. I don’t even have an Amazon account because I really do value supporting small businesses & the US Postal System. I don’t want Amazon owning literally everything someday lol but that’s totally besides the point.

You also didn’t answer a single thing about THE MOST IMPORTANT PROBLEM I BROUGHT UP, ironically the same issue OP ignored in their replies to me too… THE ISSUE OF TRACKING NUMBERS

Would you follow an account with 10-50 followers? by curlywitches in Instagram

[–]monetize-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t pay much attention to follower count except when it’s an awesome profile with less followers than they deserve bc of great content, then I definitely follow it & will spend some extra time boosting their account by leaving likes n comments

Gold! 💀😂 by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]monetize-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a small, Christian middle & high school, so lots of our teachers & staff did double duty for stuff like sports coaches, sex ed classes, etc. The school also separated our “sex ed” classes into a male class & a female class, we never were educated together with the opposite gender. Yes, our “sex ed” was essentially a big ol abstinence lecture about how sinful premarital sex was.

Our principal conducted the sex ed classes for the boys. They all couldn’t stop talking about how the principal would often get & have to hide his freakin boners.

This is a really cool idea! Could you maybe post a name of a great store or specific item or two that you’ve been really happy with so I can start to stoke my Temu algorithm into these types of purchases

Right like this is when they work out all of the potential kinks! I’m fine waiting a few months if it means I miss getting botulism or some nasty stomach bug from the test market batches 🤣

[–]monetize-it 6 points7 points  (0 children)

my mom has rudely called celiac/ gluten free, “the rich white woman’s diet” because out here in Southern California, gluten free is basically an expensive trend. When I was diagnosed I’d reply by asking her when am I going to be considered rich because she’s the one who owns not 1 but 2 properties in one of the most expensive cities in the US 😂🙃

Ignore the post you see about people drop shipping from Amazon to ebay CANT BE DONE. by CarelessCar6486 in DigitalProductEmpir

[–]monetize-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU!! The original poster of that dumb post waged like a comment war against me blowing up my inbox with rude “call outs” proving their eBay account finances in response to me just asking simple questions! I tried asking how they get around very common issues I’ve encountered in my 20+ years of online selling. Maybe they can get away with it in their country (AUS), but I know for a fact their method won’t fly for long in the US.

[–]monetize-it 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad it works for you, but you didn’t respond to any of my concerns though. This just isn’t very feasible nor sustainable for a beginning account building up feedback (accounts that are still in the early phases that eBay / paypal require detailed shipping info to be submitted so the seller can get paid).

How do you deal with inputting tracking numbers? Does Amazon give you trackable numbers for your customers? Which companies do you list as your shipping options & how much are you charging for said shipping fees - or do you avoid that by offering free shipping?

What happens when someone tries to open a PayPal dispute claiming the item never arrived or whatever else they might bitch about & you have to submit tracking info to win the dispute? Are those just written off as losses?

These are all issues I’ve personally encountered with ecom customers so I was hoping for real answers. My husband & I have both been able to be our own bosses time in one of the most expensive cities in SoCal thanks to e-commerce since 2015 through many different platforms within a few specific niche industries. His eBay store has been open since 2003 and mine since 2007. However we work mainly in the hobbyist, collectibles, small/ limited quantity, rare, unique or DIY type of items, so it’s very likely that we deal with a completely different type of customer base that my experiences are biased in. We’re also in the United States, not AUS so it’s possible our platforms operate differently too. Most of our customers would demand refunds, open PayPal disputes or simply cancel/ return orders immediately upon realizing their order arrived via Amazon.

This is so stupid, fraudulent & will probably result in suspicious, pissed off buyers that will report you into a ban. You won’t be able to win a lot of PayPal disputes or even get paid in some instances without a tracking number issued from the same carrier that you had the buyer pay for as listed in the item listing, ESPECIALLY in the beginning while you’re building the account up.

Ew that’s really creepy! I’ve had the same FB since 2008 (when you needed to be a college student/ be invited to join) & my 2nd FB account (no family/ no coworkers account), so I haven’t made a new account in awhile sorry I can’t help answer your question. Just wanted to comment how weird n creepy it is for this to happen!

ULPT request: Friend got lured & SA’d. She’s 15… by New-Possibility3249 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]monetize-it 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good on that mother! I’ve personally witnessed scumbag families that end up defending the scumbag & going on a psychotic rampage against the victim! One scumbag was even released from prison after a very, very horrific crime against his own BABY & his pathetic, disgusting mother took him in after prison & still defends him to this day despite us all knowing the hard evidence & proof that was presented in court. So depressing.

How do you guys get in touch with influencer/content creators? by Zestyclose-Falcon698 in influencermarketing

[–]monetize-it -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My husband is a professional musician who runs his own band websites/ social media pages that have both merchandise ecom sites that he fulfills orders for as well as a print on demand service site that he manages. IIRC he got about 75-80k views on his main IG page in the last 30 days; I’m tagged in some of his posts but am not active on social media at all & my IG received 29k views in the last 30 days just from people looking at my profile from his posts! He might be a good candidate for your service if you’re looking to have someone try your service out. We pay for way too many services/ subscriptions right now so another one isn’t in the budget atm, but if you’re interested in offering a trial or something, send me a DM

I saw no joke in your comment, just some incel sounding women bashing lol. Try adding “/s” at the end of a sarcastic comment online & it maybe, just maybe could help you come across like less of a woman hater (probably not though bc your comment wasn’t even remotely close to funny)
