I wouldn't even address the get rich quick whine bags, they don't deserve the spotlight lol. I love all of your videos Kara and I look forward to them, they're always insightful. The longer the better in my opinion, because I like to have podcast style videos playing that I can learn something from while I'm working. I work alone everyday and it gets quiet when the kids are in school. Your KZbin is the best for e-commerce! Thank you for showing up all the time and being so helpful.

[@KaraBuntin]

Thanks for listening!

[@mrssmith1845]

I totally agree, love to listen while working, Kara offers good solid no nonsense advice ❤

[@constancebaldwin8667]

Making it fun for you makes it fun for us. Chat away! ❤👍👍👍

[@tracyarizmendi4291]

Too long? Seriously? Nobody's is obligated to watch LOL..

[@KaraBuntin]

YES

[@ColetteO_]

I live longer videos, personally 😌

[@gracemakeslace]

A 15-minute podcast being too long? Oh those sweet summer children. I've listened to podcasts about historical stuff that were nine parters that were 3 hours long each. With an attention span that short, they need to go back to Tik Tok 🤭

[@KaraBuntin]

I think I’m not telling them how to get rich quick fast enough for their liking

[@gracemakeslace]

@@KaraBuntin *smh* I saw one comment on another video from someone that was essentially that playing out and you were repeatedly telling them that wasn't how it worked. They were NOT getting the message. What they don't realize is most "overnight successes" they see took years to accomplish with MANY small steps involved. I've heard it called "the five year overnight success."

[@taylorhoughtonphoto]

I love the analogy. Glad your husband isn't a seasonal product :P

[@KaraBuntin]

HAHAHAHAHHA depends on my mood

[@EllenMHelms]

@@KaraBuntin LOL!!!

[@zsofiamunnich9880]

Hey Kara, I love this analogy ☺️ At the beginning you told it is possible to listen to you in poscast app… are your episodes on Apple Podcasts too?

[@KaraBuntin]

No, just on the youtube music app.

[@reneelibby4885]

I'm a turtle- 3 years on Etsy and grow a bit every year. I build on return buyers and reputation. I only sell vintage jewelry because that's what I know about and what I love. Not expecting it to be my full income. Very happy with the supplement! Thank you for your vids! I'm forever grateful for the info on how to reach Etsy (ugh) and other ways to track International shipments.

[@KaraBuntin]

Contacting Etsy is "challenging," shall we say.

[@ecouturehandmades5166]

Trivia night memories, lol, I was asked to avoid trivia night at a certain watering hole because I kept winning their "grand prize" that they had only given away once in three years. I won it three times in three visits. They didn't like that. Haha

[@KaraBuntin]

I bet!

[@ColetteO_]

@Kara Buntin best moment: "my husband performs well over time" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Have you and your husband watched the new Rob Lowe nighttime game show called The Floor? Soooo much fun to play along!!!!!

[@KaraBuntin]

I haven't, it looked interesting but every time the commercial comes on my husband says something snarky about it so I won't force the issue hahaha

[@deniseatdevoncheycreations2312]

That was an excellent analogy! And you almost always leave me wanting more info... ever too chatty.

[@KaraBuntin]

I'll tell my husband you said I'm not too chatty....He thought about it and said "you're okay."

[@susanv5684]

It truly is a conversation. That’s why this podcast is so helpful. Your knowledge and coaching is worth listening to the end, always.

[@KaraBuntin]

I appreciate that!

[@clemonscrafts]

I cracked up about trivia night, "I'm not giving my husband to another team...." LOL~!! Love that!

[@KaraBuntin]

Oh hell no, they don't fully realize the extent of his useless knowledge but I do!

[@clemonscrafts]

@@KaraBuntin Bahahahhaah!!!!!

[@laurab8450]

Kara, I can't wait to hear your take on the new etsy Super Bowl ad. It's out on YT.

[@KaraBuntin]

Ai yi yi

[@S.F.L]

I'm enjoying the podcasts, thanks Kara.

[@KaraBuntin]

Glad you like them!

[@happylittle426]

It’s needs more chattiness 🎉

[@falcieridesigns]

I think lots of us cling on to 2020 as a good year - but it shouldn't be the bar. I had my best year ever in 2020 and it really skews how I feel about my other years in business and I have to keep reminding myself that I had a captive audience who almost had no choice.

[@KaraBuntin]

Absolutely. 2020 shouldn't be a yardstick or standard for anything, it was wildly atypical.

[@ecouturehandmades5166]

Because I sell a lot of black items, I went out and bought enough black in various luxury fibers just to have them on hand in the most requested size. My niche doesn't have many trends; loads of traditional patterns and color ways can fill a shop easily.

[@KaraBuntin]

That's the best, you don't have to worry about that nonsense.

[@EllenMHelms]

I often tell my husband and daughter they should be on Jeopardy because they know so much stuff. I'll blurt out an answer sometimes but they know so much more. they both said though that in front of other people, they'd forget everything! We played Trivial Pursuit with some friends years ago, maybe 30ish; one was a history professor, but when the question was, for arts and entertainment, "what time did Suzie wake up?" I said "4:00" and our professor friend starred at me "how'd you know that?" LOL "I listen to the radio a lot!" I know enough to be dangerous ;-) Trends ... the bane of my existence! I fell my products are practical and sustainable...just need to boost the traffic. Ugh...

[@KaraBuntin]

My daughter gets really mad because my husband won't ty out for Jeopardy.

[@FabricGal]

I used to work with a guy that went on Jeopardy. He was smart but unfortunately didn't do well on the show because he didn't know much about the subjects that day.

[@amymanganaro4243]

I love a good analogy. Great podcast, Kara!

[@KaraBuntin]

Thanks!
