This is true. What if then, the number was a little higher before that information was released? Maybe after 5 or 10 students rather than 2? I know that if you had given me feedback from my first two students, I would have been able to tell which was which. less

I will say that as a fairly new personal store "owner"? that I wish we had a once a month meeting for that - to answer questions - share about how stores can have coupons, etc.

I've gotten at least two requests from folks asking me to help them figure out how to do a store or how to do coupons.

If we ever decide to do a meeting for the store owners - I'll be glad to help or even host it! less

I just think that's so freaking awesome. And his wife's Etsy shop is freaking adorable. I'm going to buy something from there, but I'm just not sure what yet. I'm thinking the 8-bit heart earrings.

Any nerdy girls out there may like her shop. less

Oh! Here's something else!

The little "areas of expertise"---most people fill that up with "I review dildos" or "I review vibrators."

But I think if we changed what they called that---instead of "area to expertise" to "class style", and had all the mentors update their blurbs, it would make things a lot easier for students.

Since they truncate so fast, right now mine just says "My class is run without form letters" because that was the shortest way I could think of to say "I'm here to read what you write, and ask you questions to get you thinking about what else you can add, how you can turn it into a story, and what detail is important---but not changing your voice at all, and you have all the final say" in 8 words.

But I think if mentors were a little more specific about how they run their classes in that little personal statement box, and maybe if it didn't truncate so soon, prospective students could pick a fitting mentor more easily. less

I also wish we had the members' general locations in there. For instance my first reviewer was in NZ or Australia - I forget which. Had problems with time because I'd submit it to her and be waiting a while for her to get back on - but partly due to the time difference between Texas and her.

Even just "East Coast" or whatever would've helped. less

Amen to that.

The last two months I've had my maximum of students, but I was a mentor for two months before I got my first one :/

When mentors come to me for advice, I tell'em to take on an advanced student for their first one or two so they can get their little mentor badge up, and also to hone their mentoring skills a little. less

I don't want to be demanding, but did y'all see this post? Any thoughts? I know I was wishing the blurbs were different when I was looking for my first mentor (although Splendwhore and I turned out to be a good match):

Thanks - I'm having a blast. I actually have another four or five here to do - Sam has one to go over before graduating me and I just ordered a bunch of items today.

Since a number of the items I've ordered are hand lotions/body gels, etc. - I am already getting started on the reviews with the product information.

Being in the descriptive review program helps - I think I've had four items from them already and three more are on their way now. less
