"Oh I so agree D'Anne, totally random.  If it's being done at all.  I just wanted to mention that they "announced" there is a mentoring program in place.  So I imagine that suggesting one would be met with this as a…"

"I checked that out per your suggestion.  Great idea, but pretty random.   Sometimes the person/shop that needs it the most is least likely to "volunteer."    I am currently being compensated to mentor some folks who are…"

"Actually, Ruby Lane is already supposed to have a roving mentor program in place.  If you go to the Forums and type in mentor, the information will come up.  It was started in 2011.   Happy Saturday everyone~"

"I don't know what they do about this except make suggestions. I really hate to look at out of focus pics and really hate seeing them at Ruby Lane.  I feel like why even bother to post the pic if no one can actually see it. I know for me it…"

"At times I will link to someone's shop and be surprised at the low quality of the photos or some other aspect of the shop.  No one appreciates a buttinski so nothing is done to help fix the problem.    The only feedback most of…"

Photo Quality

Have noticed an increase in new sellers whose pictures are abysmally bad. I thought RL  had strict rules in place for that? It surprised me, as I'm also new as of last June, but strive to always have crystal clear photos. One shop's items were so out of  focus, you couldn't tell what the items were!Disappointed that this is being allowed and wanted to vent. Thanks. :-)B.See More

"Going now to reciprocate! It's nice to meet you. :-) Thank you for the compliments about my photography. I keep thinking I need to make them more artistic but then I get lazy and just go with what's worked. LOL!"

"Basically just engage your likers in conversation on at least a daily basis, if not more often if you can. That's all there is to it! My store is Bling of the Past. I've been on Ruby Lane since late June 2011, so am very new, but pleased…"
