Heads up if you’re signing up for Awin or similar affiliate platforms, they’re full of discount code sites and publishers you probably don’t want your brand tied to.

I had a PR company get me amazing placements (CNET, People, Wired, etc.) and still saw almost no affiliate sales. PR used to be a huge driver for my business, but it’s just not what it used to be.

Nik mentioned something similar on his podcast recently, totally resonates.

The food arrived on a super hot day and it was packed so nicely, the food was still frozen solid.

The food is really nice, the kitties are crazy picky so I have to spike it with treats like I need to do with almost all healthy food.

Recently received a test order of Smalls for my kitties!

I don’t really get the hype around AI image generation. Every now and then it produces something decent, but the moment you ask for a change it distorts the image, throws in random irrelevant details, or adds text that’s usually misspelled and meaningless. I’ve tested several platforms and the results have been consistently disappointing.

Have you checked out Soona for cost effective product photography. Or just take them on a smart phone.

<@U097C4YNU07> Do you have a link for PlainVanilla?

Someone just mentioned Wayflyer to me. I don't know anything about them.
Have you looked into opportunities for women owned businesses? Possibly there are grants.

Video editing takes a lot of time to learn and even when you are good at it, the editing process is time consuming. I recommend hiring an expert to edit videos. That said, you'll need to provide clear instructions of your vision.

@Zac Kyle That's a great idea, thanks for the tip!!!

I’d put it on the harder end. With a $175 product, I’ve found many creators are mainly interested in the free product and don’t put much effort into the content. Even with very clear directions, like showing the full product instead of just the cat, the results often miss the mark. I also get ghosted, and daily requests from creators wanting to work with me.

I've had similar issues with a different type of product. They are of no help. You will have to put the products in boxes before shipping to Amazon.

I'd love to hop in that chat

Thank you 😻 I think you are referring to SeatMate. They launched just after us. They have a great team!
