That is really good. I've used various forms of advertising to reach customers in the past, and it can be very expensive to reach customers. Sounds like you have a great solution with your IG setup.

It didn't happen quickly. It took 4 years to hit 10K followers but this was without doing anything except posting pics of new inventory two or three times a week. It's only within the last 6 months that I started paying to boost my now once weekly post. This has really started moving things along.
Part of this IG success is luck and part of it is some level of talent, but mostly it is The Lord providing for me after years of hard work.
I take it what you're selling are high dollar items?
No, I wouldn't consider my inventory as high dollar. Lots of $20 and $40 items. But I do bundle deals so some customers will buy 10 or 20 items at a time. I sold a hundred dollar item yesterday that I bought 2 years ago for five bucks and two weeks ago I sold an $800 item that I'd bought the day before for $400. So it varies. I sell a lot of collectibles and antiques. Margins are great but sourcing inventory can be a problem (think American Pickers... lots of driving). Instagram helps with the sourcing issue too though (as does Craigslist).
Sounds really interesting I do e-commerce myself, I asked because I figured if you're only posting a few times a week then it was higher dollar stuff but when you say posting I suppose you mean multiple items not just one.
I only do one post a week now detailing the newest inventory that my customer base hasn't seen before. With Instagram you now get 20 pics per post and each pic might have four or five items in it. E-commerce is only about 30% of my sales though. The other 70% is done in person in a retail space (and at specialized trade shows and events). The IG post items can either be bought online by the customer and shipped anywhere in the world or if they're local they can come into the retail space and buy them in person.
I agree. We can put it under the languages sub-forum. I've studied a dozen different languages on Duo and have run across a lot of "propaganda-esque" samples, especially for languages from woke countries, like Sweden. Even their corny avatars that they use are woke (again usually only for woke countries' languages). So you'll see purple haired lezzie types complaining about her girlfriend, but you won't see that if you study Arabic (at least not last time I checked it).
Happy Thanksgiving from America, everyone!
I find it strange that these new clothes washers have a lockout feature installed in them. If you forget to put in that dirty shirt that's sill in your closet, you have about 30 seconds to run and go get it before you're locked out of the cycle and have to restart the entire program.
What is the meaning of this? On the old machines, you just opened up the door and threw in any other clothes you wanted to add, no matter where it was in the cycle.
If they're going to lock you out of something, it should be adding more detergent or bleach during the wash so you don't add things after they already ran that cycle. That would make a lot more sense.

The lockup feature is extra retarded on them, some water saving bs I believe...thanks a lot obama.
It's a safety feature. You could get your arm ripped off by opening the lid when it's running!
It's like the way cars automatically lock the doors when the car is in gear, so you can't just pull up to the curb to drop someone off, like you could in the old days. You have to put it in park before they can open the door to get out.
They are trying to idiot proof everything.
It also depends on which setting you're using on your washer. Some washers have a smart, precise load and won't allow you to open it up or even pause it once you start the process. If you manually select your load size, you can still pause it and toss more clothes in there if you need to, at least on my washer.
Is it really a safety feature? Good God I didn't even consider it was something that stupid....saving water actually made more sense as stupid as that was!
There is a unity that you find in Orthodoxy that I haven’t found anywhere else.I was thinking about the term "ortho bros" today, and got my wondering why more dominations don't adopt this and call themselves bros.
It would be hilarious if Jehovah's Witnesses referring to themselves as "Jehovah bros", and their women as "Jehovah hoes"
Sounds like a brand new feature that will be added that you can pay a subscription of $10/month to access.
Pretty sure it’s geared more towards kids not climbing in. Especially on front load machines
Nothing changes in my daily life regardless of what MSN is "reporting" or what anyone on this board reports or predicts. "Russia invades Ukraine! President Trump was shot in the ear! Bitcoin is at 100K! The Assad regime has fallen! On October 7th hangliders attacked Israel and now jews are bombing Christians in Palestine! Bilzerian is calling out the jews! A CEO was shot by an MK Ultra guy! DeSantis will mop the floor with Trump! Trump won but is ruining it with pro-jew cabinet picks! The Houtis have shut down global shipping lanes and gas will soon be $20 a gallon! Illegals are eating all the ducks in Ohio! Nick is a faggot! Scott Ritter (for the last 25 years) predicts that the US will invade Iran! Candace quit the Daily Wire and is a Freemason posing as a Catholic! Putin is outlawing faggotry yet faggotry is on the rise in Russia! We are soooo close to World War 3! Iran is attacking New Jersey with a mothership full of drones!"
Regardless of all this noise, whether true or not, when I really look at reality nothing changes. I find this fascinating. How can the sky be falling when there is rarely for a second an interruption in my electric service and everytime I go to use cash or a bank card it works? Some keep saying, "Oh, it works today, but just you wait, tomorrow is going to be a living hell for you!"
My hypothesis is that The World is what you make it... "I think, therefore I am." If you think that the sky is falling then you will indeed see a falling sky. My life has for the most part been miserable, a series of bad decisions under the influence of Satan. Now that I am praying everyday, not drinking, having only plutonic relationships with women, and have become an entrepreneur without an employeer my life has completely turned around. I have never been so financially well-off (not rich but middle class) and having so much hope about my future and I now understand that I wasted over half my life dwelling on the negative aspects of human existance of which I had no control. Sad.

Preach my brother!!! Life is good, glory be to God!
