I had to close my Etsy shop and I'm crying my eyes out.
Made less than 2k in one year and paid more in fees and overhead than that.
I don't know what to do. I hate Shopify.
Discussion
That’s super shitty. I’m sorry to hear that. What are you selling, I’m a total newbie but you can’t sell it on nostr yet?
How technically capable are you? I use WordPress + WooCommerce. It’s free open-source software and is self-hosted, so you aren’t beholden to a third party like Etsy or Shopify. It requires a lot more know-how to build than some of the all-in-one solutions like Etsy or Shopify, but if you can learn how to build and manage it, it can also be a lot less expensive. A domain + cheap wordpress hosting can run as low as $150/year, pick your own payment processor, and most or all other plugins you might need are free.
Ohh really? Thanks Fren I'll look into that
I've tried. So far I've failed every time, regardless of tutorials. I need help in that regard.
How complex was your shop? Single products or variable (sizes, color options, etc)? How large is the inventory? How are you handling shipping and inventory?
Sorry about the barrage of questions, I do this professionally, more than happy to offer tips. ☺️
I'll DM you.
About to fall asleep, but let’s chat tomorrow.
Wrote you back
I saw some of it on Damus and some on Primal. 😵💫
Did you get my replies this morning? Do you have telegram or signal or anything? DMs are so unreliable here.
No.. neither. I have OxChat. Thats sketch too. Won't use telegram
Yeah, I get that. Primal seems to be working, so I’ll DM you there. 0xChat has been broken for me.
Hey, Is there any issue with using 0xchat? Fixing some bugs.
None of my new chats show up, going on a few months now. I’ve tried logging out and back in, deleting the app, etc. It also shows incorrect relays and an old ln address, despite changes that appear in all other clients.
This is painful to read. Just download this both of you
I think I know what's going on. We're using gift wrapped DM by default. Currently, amethyst is compatible with us, but other clients might not receive it. Your other messages are normal DMs. This version has a bug that prevents it from receiving normal DMs, but a fix for this issue will be released next week.
If you're doing fansly? Why is it not enough? Plus, I see peep here zapping you. Your art + nudes = not enough? That's when you are either lying, begging for sympathy, and just refuse to try new things. I think you got some really nice art, why not try to sell them as stickers?? Those are inexpensive and cool.
I hear you. No need to lie either.
The point of it ALL is that doing all I do used to be enough to make a living. Here, at least so far it isn't.
Your right in my depression on the subject I do complain too much.
I need to accept the reach on NOSTR isn't there yet.
Help me foster growth in community. There's so many newbies, it starts to feel like a college class. Because many aren't familiar with BTC, LN, Nostr and it's cryptography nature is foreign for most. I have a guide here please share it.
Hey (N)oystr!
I have a beginners guide to nostr. It would be the highest honor for me if you bookmark my guide and potentially share it with future nostriches!! Let's introduce them to this magical wonderland!
