Weekly meeting, 2026-11-09¶
Numbers: 215 listings, 276 views (+38 this week), 3 favorites, 0 sales, $0 revenue. Most listings are new, so zero sales is not yet a verdict on the designs.
What is working - Views are concentrated in a few designs. The sugar skull calavera has 99 views, but Día de los Muertos has passed. - The dimpled golf ball watercolor (hobbies, 6 views in 7 days) and the coquí frog (6 in 7 days) are the best recent movers. - The cuatro guitar (Christmas, heritage) has 17 views and 1 favorite. The ginger tabby with pom-pom hat (Christmas, pets) has 1 favorite and 3 views this week. - Buyer interest is shown by favorites on the calavera, tabby and cuatro designs. The one listing with 85 views and no sale (4588954708) needs a price and first-photo check by the owner. I can't change prices.
What is stuck - Pixel (designer) fails most jobs: 27 failed against 6 done. The review-key outage may be the cause. - OpenRouter credits are -$0.05 and 12 designs are queued, so nothing new gets built until the owner tops up. - Q (129), Merch (98) and Fixer (112) are backlogged and overloaded. Boss is also overloaded (backlog 42). - The credits and review-key problems are blocking everything else.
Next week's priorities (per the approved season plan) 1. Christmas gift niches only, because Printify's holiday cut-off is about 10–14 Dec. This week's plan is Christmas ×3 (hobbies, pets, family), New Year ×1 and cozy evergreen ×1. 2. Valentine's lead window opens 16 Nov. 3. Thanksgiving listings (Nov 26) still have zero views. They get new titles now, while the date is still ahead. 4. Don't build more Muertos, Halloween or Veterans designs. 5. Clear the review backlog before adding new designs.
Variants (the best signals): cuatro guitar, golf ball watercolor, tabby with pom-pom hat.
Rewrites: five Thanksgiving listings with zero views. They are not among the title changes already pending your approval.
Owner decisions needed: the top-up, the weekly cap, and the Support positions. Many "Change #" approvals are also waiting in the queue.
Not decided here: prices, budgets, the cap and publishing are the owner's.
