I just heard the 'kerching' noise and saw that I had my first sale on Etsy. Very excited but apprehensive too. Need to work out how to re-size the image (make sure there are enough pixels) and work out how to process it to PS without forgetting anything and not marking as complete before it is 🙄 I just need to get familiar with the process to feel confident with it all (then I'll make myself a checklist 😍). Anyway, I'm off the starting blocks at last! Woo Hoo...

I've just been granted Star Seller status for August and, it seems, for PoD posters, this _does_ make a difference. 6 different items favourited all by different people and 2 sales within the hour. It's literally the first time I've logged into PrintShrimp to pay for more than one order simultaneously. So, aim for this status folks, it's a nice incentive to keep pushing and motivating yourselves, and it seems to work, touch wood! 👍

This has been my best month so far in the four months I've been using PrintShrimp. I made a profit of around $800 this month, which is definitely a lot of money for me! It's honestly a little embarrassing to admit that it took me 5 months to get my first sale, but the truth is I was doing everything wrong and wasn't putting much effort into it. Ever since I joined this community about 4 months ago, I've been much more focused, and it has been 100% worth it. With a bit more effort and discipline (which I definitely need 😅), I hope to take this business much further. I genuinely love doing this. And a huge thank you to PrintShrimp and everyone who takes the time to answer all of our basic (and sometimes pretty dumb ) questions. I really appreciate all the help!

Hi everyone. I hope you're having a great Saturday! I've just got my 2nd order (woo hoo) and it is for A4 (USA). I seem to remember somewhere that there is no tracking on smaller prints /parcels. I can't find where I saw this info to print it off for future reference. I know you can pay for tracking to be added for £2 at the point of paying PS (I'm creating the order but it is not giving me the option for this added £2 extra cost) so that I can track the parcel. Also, I seem to remember that the smaller size prints get delivered in a hard back envelope rather than tubes? Sorry for so many questions in one post 🙈Thanks! Update: I've seen that I have the automated 'add tracking' switched on in the PS portal settings and it has not added the £2 to the prepared order (prepared as I've not yet paid for it - I'm waiting to see how to handle this element first)...
