FInally hit the 500 Listings milestone..... felt like a lifetime in the making 😃 Looking forward to test the theory of Etsy pushing my listings more, I have seen a steady increase iin views and visits as I have been approaching this mark, next milestone is a 50 view, 100 visit day 👍

Had an order for a 30x40cm framed print, all went through OK..... that's when the problems started. The order was returned by the carrier in the US, when I asked the buyer for confirmation of the correct address she gave me a different address in the same town. No problem, people sometimes move address and don't update it on their online shopping so I raised it as a ticket with Printshrimp and they arranged for a replacement to be sent out, no additional charge. Get a message today, stating that only the poster has arrived with no frame! I email Tom and he asks for proof of packaging and the customer only sent me back a photo of the print, rolled up with no frame. I ask for a photo of the packaging showing the shipping label.... no response to that but the following review left..... "The 1st delivery arrived cash on delivery so I refused. The 2nd delivery arrived with no frame. Just an 11" print for $100+ and when I asked where the frame was they asked for proof. Who would pay $100+ for a computer printout and nothing else? I can promise ill be reporting a fraudulent sale to my credit card company." My question to all is, how would you handle this? I know not to respond to the feedback and I am not going to message the buyer as she has made her feelings know publicly. Annoying thing for me is I was doing everything I could to sort it out, my last message to her was "Thank you for sending that across to me and apologies for the ask, but they will need to see the tube that it was sent to you in as well, with the shipping label showing. I can then get that sent across and I am sure we can get this resolved as quickly as possible. I am as annoyed as you that this has happened but I can assure you I will do everything I can to sort it out. Thanks, Geoff" It was at this point she decided a 1 star review was the way to go. Just wondered what others would do??

My store is now 10 days old and I feel like i’m uploading ALL types of prints with no specific niche. Is this an issue for being more visible in search results, or is it good to try all on one store and see what sticks at the start and then focus on that?

POD is great, but what else is everyone working on that’s worth looking into? I’ve read a bit about KDP and I’ve done Amazon FBA before, although I ran into a few issues with it. I’m really interested in other ways people are using AI to build profitable businesses or side incomes. A couple of ideas I’ve looked at are creating websites for local businesses or building lead-gen websites, but it feels like everyone and their nan is doing that now 😂 What other AI-powered business models or opportunities are you guys having success with, or think are worth exploring right now? Would love to hear what’s actually working for people rather than the usual YouTube “make £10k a month with AI” stuff!

My 1st listing was 29 April - my 1000th listing is 8 August - 3.5 months to have 1000 listings that i think are pretty cool xxxx i have deactivated a few designs long the way and i have some that will never be listed - but i am pretty happy with what i have in the timeframe. Thank you to my Skool buddies and PS …. Its being a great journey - my 1st listing was such rubbish- so there is light at the end of the tunnel”tunnel of overwhelmness” - its there !
