Good afternoon from this side of earth dear reader, I’m absolutely thrilled and chilled to be writing this. I know the intro is kinda corny but I’m trying to be fancy these days since rich people are! I’m also trying to use the power of manifestation as you can see from the preceding sentence.
So now onto the juicy stuff. Last week was one of those weeks where I thought I was going to have to come up with another idea again just because the last one didn’t work. Redbubble, a print-on-demand marketplace, was randomly shutting down sellers’ accounts for apparently no good reason. And here I was excited to start my own store and make some mulla!
I was shocked and stayed shook for quite some time. I wonder how all those sellers who depend on the website for their livelihoods felt waking up one random morning unable to log on to their stores. It must have been devastating. I can’t even begin to imagine how they must have felt sending numerous emails and trying customer support to no avail. I know how I’d feel if I was in their position and it’s not a feeling I’m a fan of.
As if that wasn’t enough, they had to wait close to 7 days to get a response from Redbubble. I’m thinking, as I’m sure many of you are, that at the end of the day many of these large companies out there don’t care about their employees, only the bottom line. Sorry to generalize like that in case yours is a good one. This also got me thinking in the long-term in case I were to carry on with print-on-demand for a while. I need to be thinking of establishing my own reputable brand and creating a loyal customer base because at the end of the day, those two are the only things that for the most part really matter in business.
With all that being said, I still went ahead and signed on, created a store and I’m ready to start creating some fancy text based designs. Of course I did all this after Redbubble made a statement acknowledging the “Glitch”, as they refered to the incident, and stating that they were investigating the cause. This wasn’t a satisfactory response in my opinion, but then again time is money and I wasn’t going to wait around forever. So hopefully the incident will be sorted out and won’t happen again as I start becoming active on the platform.
