Weekly meeting, week of 2026-10-26¶
Numbers: 165 listings, 172 views (+78 in 7d), 2 favorites, 0 sales. Views are growing but nothing converts yet. The shop is young and most listings are unseen.
What's working: Día de los Muertos calavera designs lead with 85 views, 44 of them in the last 7d. The cuatro guitar (Puerto Rican Christmas) has 1 favorite. The sonar radar humour design has 11 views. Listing 4588954708 has 52 views and no sale, so check its price and first photo.
Blockers - Money: OpenRouter credits are -$0.05 and the review key limit was hit. One design was rejected only because of that 403, not because of its art. 12 designs are queued for Monday. - Pixel: 14 jobs done and 46 failed (23% success). Some of the failures are probably the budget, so top up first and re-measure. - Q: backlog is 115 and the oldest item is 27 days old. Merch (72), Fixer (68) and Boss (63) are overloaded too. Review is the bottleneck for going live, and the shop can't earn until listings pass review. - Pixel's rejections: the art is clipped at the image edges (tee, desk mat). That's a prompt issue: keep the subject centred with margin.
Plan (season plan, week of 26 Oct): Christmas x3 (professions), Kwanzaa x1, New Year x1. Too late for Muertos (Nov 1), so no more variants there. Put the extra effort into gift-niche Christmas and into evergreen keywords: family name sign, realtor gift, dog memorial gift, librarian gift.
Variants chosen: - cuatro guitar (Christmas, heritage, favorited) - sonar radar (humour, most views among non-seasonal designs) - dog silhouette (pets; "dog memorial gift" is a top-4 evergreen keyword)
Rewrites: 5 zero-view listings that have no pending change. Listings that already have a rewrite waiting for approval were skipped to avoid duplicates.
Backlog for the owner: about 40 change requests (#3 to #56) are waiting on approval: title rewrites, accent-bug tag repairs on the guava mugs, and free-shipping price changes. The tag repairs (#26 to #33) are bug fixes and the quickest to approve. The older top-up questions are stale duplicates and are replaced by the one below.
Decisions (guardrails applied)¶
