What’s your platform
Hi all, can I ask what your go to platform is for creating your designs?

I use Gemini mostly, but find that there are times when Meta AI and ChatGPT do the job I'm after better. Sometimes it depends on what you need. All of these are free to some extent (ChatGPT the least).
50 Up!!
Just completed on my 50th order 🥳 7 months of working on it every day, reading & learning from this forum, creating good poster images and getting them listed (latterly on the bulk upload tool), working out how to use AI to give better image prompts, posting everything to Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest - proof that doing all these things (and more!) actually starts to pay back eventually. For those just starting on the journey..... read the above if you start to get disheartened that your first sale "will never come", just as I did in my first month 😎

"Thinking Outside the Box" Marketing??
Does anyone else have any ideas for marketing their shop in ways other than Social Media?? I have recently started to do some Email Marketing, targeting specific business types and in my local(ish) area first. ChatGPT wrote a pretty good cold email which is written for the first business type I am going after and I am using Brevo free tier which allows 300 emails a day to be sent. Only pain is finding the email addresses but I have a spreadsheet set up and if I find 20 a day, they are added to the list and I send when I have the full 300 (I have done this twice!) Was just wondering if anyone else did something different to try and get their shop name out there??

Hi Geoff! Oh! Careful with using a cold email list! I mean, where are you planning on getting these email addresses from? If it's in any way that doesn't involve actually speaking to someone in some way from that business first, I'd say not to do it. I worked in an email marketing agency for 3 years and in email overall for 9, and this is potentially a big no-no. You also can't start sticking up physical adverts in your town; that could lead to all kinds of differently trouble. I'm pursuing Pinterest still and and hope to start with TikTok when I find a moment. :)
Wow, two record sales in the same night!
Up till tonight, my best order was one framed print just over £100. Was sat doing some work earlier tonight when I heard a cha-ching, and saw I got a framed 20x28" sale for £129.99 - so this would be my best sale, only for a few hours later as I'm packing up work for the night to get a further cha-ching for a framed 24x36" print! Absolutely buzzing is an understatement. I was only saying to my partner last night how I feel the store seems to attract A5, A4 or Digital Downloads, so maybe the Etsy gods were listening!

Huge congrats indeed! 🥂
Struggling with MidJourney
Hi all, I'm really struggling with MidJourney and making it do what I want. I'm trying all sorts of prompts and using the style references etc, but it's just continuously giving me absolutle nonsense. I've also been trying to get a single character (a bunny) into different scenes so I can do poster series, but it's also not working. I've watched a bunch of youtubes on how to do it etc, but the actual system is not playing ball and the output is really low quality. I even tried going super simple with a prompt (like Tom advises us to do in the SKOOL vids) in the screen shot attached, and it's just the worst!! Any tips on how to get MidJourney to be better? 😅

I'd try experimenting going sideways with a different AI for some time. Try ChatGPT and Gemini and see how you get on with them. With Chat, you get about 2 images free per day. With Gemini, it's about 16 or more. Both of these respond to prompt specificity more tightly (they're LLMs, or "Large Language Models", and are "trained" on listening and response: Midjourney is highly sophisticated but its purpose is to create "arty" image responses to prompts and doesn't have capability outside of image generation). Chat is actually a go-between where the image output is more "arty" than you'll get from Gemini, but it's slightly susceptible to bad anatomy and extra fingers. Gemini can get anatomy wrong, but less than Chat; the tradeoff is that it's less artistically subtle. Also, how about logging into Meta AI? That's completely free, and a good testing ground for Midjourney, apparently (I haven't used MJ for years because of the pricing and I'm a cheap shot) - it uses a similar rendering engine to MJ. :) Do consider prompt length. My shortest prompt covers about 4 lines. Longest? You could probably fill a small book with it. 😅
