I'm gonna give an easy example of how broad this definition is for anyone who thinks this is purely being a hater
Tangled is a real movie
Wish is not
"umm what's a real movie, you obvious snob" thanks for asking. a real movie is one that was made with the primary purpose of telling a story, not investor value. okay now the world is your oyster.

"Thus many collectives did not compete with each other for profits, as surpluses were pooled and distributed on a wider basis than the individual collective.
This process went on in many different unions and collectives and, unsurprisingly, the forms of co-ordination agreed to lead to different forms of organisation in different areas and industries, as would be expected in a free society. However, the two most important forms can be termed syndicalisation and confederationalism (we will ignore the forms created by the collectivisation decree as these were not created by the workers themselves).
Syndicalisation (our term) meant that the CNT’s industrial union ran the whole industry. This solution was tried by the woodworkers’ union after extensive debate. One section of the union, “dominated by the FAI, maintained that anarchist self-management meant that the workers should set up and operate autonomous centres of production so as to avoid the threat of bureaucratisation.” However, those in favour of syndicalisation won the day and production was organised in the hands of the union, with administration posts and delegate meetings elected by the rank and file. However, the “major failure … (and which supported the original anarchist objection) was that the union became like a large firm” and its “structure grew increasingly rigid.” [Ronald Fraser, Blood of Spain, p. 222] According to one militant, “From the outside it began to look like an American or German trust” and the workers found it difficult to secure any changes and “felt they weren’t particularly involved in decision making.” [quoted by Fraser, Op. Cit., p. 222 and p. 223] However, this did not stop workers re-electing almost all posts at the first Annual General Assembly.
In the end, the major difference between the union-run industry and a capitalist firm organisationally appeared to be that workers could vote for (and recall) the industry management at relatively regular General Assembly meetings. While a vast improvement on capitalism, it is hardly the best example of participatory self-management in action.
(...)
The other important form of co-operation was what we will term confederalisation. This system was based on horizontal links between workplaces (via the CNT union) and allowed a maximum of self-management and mutual aid. This form of co-operation was practised by the Badalona textile industry (and had been defeated in the woodworkers’ union). It was based upon each workplace being run by its elected management, selling its own production, getting its own orders and receiving the proceeds. However, “everything each mill did was reported to the union which charted progress and kept statistics. If the union felt that a particular factory was not acting in the best interests of the collectivised industry as a whole, the enterprise was informed and asked to change course.”
This system ensured that the “dangers of the big ‘union trust’ as of the atomised collective were avoided.” [Fraser, Op. Cit., p. 229] According to one militant, the union “acted more as a socialist control of collectivised industry than as a direct hierarchised executive.” The federation of collectives created “the first social security system in Spain” (which included retirement pay, free medicines, sick and maternity pay) and a compensation fund was organised “to permit the economically weaker collectives to pay their workers, the amount each collective contributed being in direct proportion to the number of workers employed.” [quoted by Fraser, Op. Cit., p. 229]
As can be seen, the industrial collectives co-ordinated their activity in many ways, with varying degrees of success."
I.8.4 How were the Spanish industrial collectives co-ordinated?

Hi Maya! I tried looking in your FAQs but am not able to find this information. The past few years I've only been thrifting as I grow more aware of how the clothing industry is. Fast fashion going in mountains of landfills aside, the treatment of workers is absolutely horrendous 99% of the time. Your Meyoco skirt is my first piece of clothing I didn't get from thrifting the past year, and I'm absolutely in LOVE. I believe it's more than fair to pay $60 for a skirt as long as every designer, worker involved is compensated fairly. I don't believe that someone as empathetic as you would ever partake in a business model that takes advantage of the others, but for the peace of my own mind I just wanted to outright ask and make sure that the skirts are produced in an environment/manufacturer/business where the workers are compensated fairly after you've received your fair share of profit margins. 😅I adore your designs so much, and am already budgeting how to make it a staple of my non-essential purchases, I just would like to know that I'm supporting a business that align certain values that's important to me! Thank you very much for reading!
this is a great question! sorry if i'm kind of scattered answering it, im still dealing with neck pain (just got a cortisone shot which should help in a couple days but for now i'm relying on rest, pain meds and muscle relaxers so i'm a bit out of it)
first off, we've always done our best to search for manus that have good working conditions. we don't have the budget to personally visit factories outside the US, but we get footage from the manufacturers that show the working environment (specifically while making our items) so we can ensure the spaces look up to snuff (good lighting, ventilation, enough space, cleanly kept, etc). we also always look out for any red flags like a PPU (price per unit) being too low to afford fare wages to the workers.
without being able to hire someone to do a full blown investigation it's hard to 100% know what's going on in a factory, and unfortunately we do not have the budget for that, but we do our due diligance.
and i'm really happy to report that our new primary factory, which we found with the help of a supply chain manager, is GOT certified, which is a HUGE leap for us. basically, GOT certification requires a factory to meet certain thresholds for ethical labor and environmental practices. for our factory specifically, this includes a biometric clocking system that makes sure the hours worked are consistent with GOT requirements, as well as regular medical check ins and a dr on site. they also run internal social audits (sedex, ICS, inditex). they provide food and transportation for the workers and have multiple regulated breaks.
GOT certification also covers things like making sure the dyes and materials are ethically sourced. unfortunately because our skirts are synthetic fiber, we cannot brand the skirts specifically as being GOT certified because GOT certification only covers natural fiber, BUT all the other materials and the labor practices surrounding the skirts are certified. they are also certified for their ethical recycling for reuse of scrap material specifically regarding their synthetic fibers.
in addition to this, we do not function the way fast fashion does. fast fashion relies on constantly pushing the trend cycle faster and faster so that garment workers are pushing out new garments in weeks or days rather than the more traditional 3-4 month cycle (which is where we fall). this traditional cycle is why we used to have fashion "seasons," which honestly we don't believe in either. our goal is that when you buy a skirt, it is loved and worn and kept for years and years. we don't follow trends or seasons: we just make things we like.
also, we strive to never order more garments than we think we can sell. traditional fashion/retail typically strives to order 20% more product than will sell so that they can make maximum sales because nothing will ever sell out. that extra 20% is baked into cost/loss and usually is what ends up in places like ross or in landfills. so although we know it's frustrating that we continually sell out of our designs, we do this for a reason: as much as we're able, we want to not contribute excess waste to this world. this is also why we don't include specialty boxes or packaging with our orders, even tho literally every piece of small business advice recommends doing this for improving brand recognition/customer retention. for us, even tho it might generate more sales, it's not worth it to generate more waste. it's a very small thing, but over thousands and thousands of orders over the years it builds up.

The Basis of the Environmental Crisis
There is a fundamental problem here: The dynamics of capitalism have an inherent tendency towards ecological devastation. To understand why this is so, we need to look at how firms are constantly searching for ways to minimize their expenses. This is how they ensure the firm can make the maximum in profits. Because capitalism is made up of relatively autonomous firms, they are in competition. If a firm doesn’t continuously seek ways to make profits, they won’t be able to expand their business, move into new markets, invest in new technology. Other firms will out-compete them. And minimizing expenses is central to the pursuit of profits. Thus minimizing expenses is central to survival for the capitalist firms. And to do this, firms do cost-shifting at the expense of both workers and the environment.
First, companies try to keep compensation to workers as low as they can get away with. They may look to cut taxes that support services working class people rely on. They try to find new forms of technology or new ways to organize the work that reduces the number of worker hours it takes to produce a unit of output. They might automate a production operation with robots, or they will seek ways to intensify work through “lean production” methods. For example, they’ll use computer tracking of a warehouse worker picking items for an order so that they have no rest time after finishing an order but are pushed to a new task through computer control. Work intensification and computer monitoring puts workers under more stress which can have damaging health effects over time. This means the employers are imposing a human cost on workers. If workers in a furniture factory are constantly breathing in finishes or paints being sprayed on furniture in the open, or electronics assemblers are breathing in solder fumes, these are also cases where capital is shifting costs onto workers. And these are cases where the costs could be avoided. For example, there are soldering tools that have a vacuum to suck off solder fumes so workers don’t breath it, but a firm may not want to pay the expense of installing that equipment. These are examples of how the capitalist mode of production tends to shift costs onto workers.
Second, emissions into the air and water are another form of cost-shifting. A utility firm may burn coal to generate electricity. This creates emissions that damage the respiratory systems of people in the region and also contributes to global warming. But the power firm is not required to pay anything for these damages. These costs to others from emissions are “external” to the market transaction between the power firm and its customers who pay for electricity. This is an example of a “negative externality.” Externalities are a pervasive feature of the capitalist mode of production. The fossil fuel industry generates many “negative externalities.” Fracking operations insert chemicals underground which can pollute the underground water sources. A large gas field or leaky oil refinery will generate large amounts of volatile organic compounds — including carcinogens and endocrine disruptors. Studies of gas fields show effects in the surrounding area such as goat herds and barn cats losing the ability to have viable offspring, due to the endocrine disruptors. Gas fields also contribute to global warming by leaking large amounts of methane. Contrary to gas industry claims, gas power plants contribute as much as coal-fired power plants to global warming due to all the methane leaks.
You’ll notice here that I’m focusing on how environmental devastation is rooted in production — not consumption. Some environmentalists try to suggest that we should understand the global warming problem by looking at consumption practices, and they use ideas like a person’s “carbon footprint” to focus on personal consumption. But consumers of electric power don’t have control over the decisions of power firms on the methods of electricity generation, or what technology firms rely on to move cargo around in the global supply chains.
Another useful concept here is throughput. The throughput of production consists of two things: (1) All the material extracted from nature for the production process, and (2) all the damaging emissions (“negative externalities”) from the production process. In addition to the damaging emissions into the air and water, capitalism is an extractivist regime with a long history of land-grabbing to minimize expenses — as in the US government handing over mineral wealth to mining companies, lands for commercial ranching and extraction of logs and wood debris from forests for the lumber and paper industries. The search for short-term profits can lead to unsustainable practices such as clear-cutting of forests or use of huge nets to scarf up all the fish in a coastal region without regard to the future of that fishery.
With the concept of throughput, we can define a concept of ecological efficiency. If a production process is changed in ways that reduce the amount of damage from emissions (or amount of extracted resource) per unit of human benefit, then that change improves ecological efficiency. And here is a basic structural problem of capitalism: It has no inherent tendency towards ecological efficiency. If nature is treated as a free dumping ground for wastes, there will be no tendency to minimize damaging emissions per unit of human benefit from production. Also, there will be no tendency to minimize materials extracted from nature except to the extent firms have pay for these resources.
A production system that could generate increasing ecological efficiency would tend towards reductions in pollution and resource extraction. This would require a non-profit, non-market type of eco-socialist economy where production organizations are held socially accountable — required to systematically internalize their ecological costs. Capitalism’s tendency to ever greater environmental devastation happens because firms have an incentive to not internalize their costs, but dump them on others.
The devastation wrought by the cost-shifting dynamic of capitalism is not limited to global warming. Capitalism has favored the evolution of agricultural practices that aim at highest output at lowest financial cost to the firm. Intense competition has led to ever-greater concentration in ownership of farm land. The capitalist setup allows the growers to rely on labor contractors to pay laborers as little as possible and get rid of workers who try to organize. Growers often own lands in various locations and pursue different crops to minimize their risks. With encouragement from the chemical industry, growers have adopted industrial production of a single crop in a large field with increasing usage of pesticides and inorganic fertilizer over time. Inorganic fertilizers typically provide some mix of nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium. Over-use of these fertilizers has led to excessive runoff, polluting water courses and leading to ocean “dead spots” around the mouths of rivers. Destructive effects on fisheries is thus one of the negative externalities from capitalist agriculture.
Since World War 2 chemical pesticide production world-wide grew from 0.1 ton to 52 million tons in 1976 and 300 million tons in 2015. Pesticides produced by the chemical industry are damaging to the health of farm workers, and pollutes water courses, and leaves residues on food. Pesticide overuse also destroys the natural predators of insects and breeds pesticide-resistant pests. This leads a kind of agricultural arms race as more and more pesticide is needed. As Fred Magdoff and Chris Williams report in Creating an Ecological Society, pesticides also reduce “presence in the soil of organisms that stimulate plants to produce chemicals to defend themselves.”
As with pesticides the chemical industry has also vastly pumped up the production of petroleum-based plastics which do not biodegrade but end up as vast scourge of pollution in the oceans. Plastic bags have grown in use because they take a lot less energy to produce than paper bags, and thus cost less. Production has increased from less than 5 tons in 1950 to over 340 million tons by 2014, according to the Plastics Europe trade association. At least a third of all plastic produced is not recaptured, but mostly ends up in the ocean where it is destructive to living organisms. The plastics industry does not have to pay for the negative effects on living things in the oceans.
If we bring in our definition of throughput, pollution and dumping of wastes are one aspect, but we need to also look at the destructive extractivist tendencies in capitalism, such as clear-cutting of forests or over-fishing. According to a 2003 study, “90 percent of all large fishes have disappeared from the world’s oceans in the past half century,” since the onset of industrial fishing with huge nets in the 1950s. “”Whether it is yellowfin tuna in the tropics, bluefin in cold waters, or albacore tuna in between, the pattern is always the same. There is a rapid decline of fish numbers,” according to Ransom Myers, a fisheries biologist at Dalhousie University in Halifax. To address the problem, many countries have banned long drift nets and untended longlines, and have instituted elaborate systems of licensing, and have instituted quotas and third party observers working on boats. Nonetheless, capitalist fishing outfits frequently ignore or evade these rules.

Optimize Your Space with Modern Warehouse Racking Systems
A warehouse is a well-organized and planned space used to manage a company's merchandise. To effectively design a warehouse or distribution center, it is important to consider its purpose and desired outcomes, especially for your pallet racking.
Key Factors in Warehouse Layout Design
With that in mind, the following factors should be taken into account for the layout of our warehouse, depending on the product type and company characteristics:
A good storage system offers a range of benefits, including access to a vast number of references on pallets, as well as direct access to smaller references.
With the ability to constantly relocate items based on seasonal demand and group together similar lines, our system ensures maximum efficiency. Our pickers can work at top speed without interference from other pickers or stock replacements, allowing for seamless operations.
Additionally, you can monitor your stock in real-time and have full visibility of all products and references.
Racking systems and handling equipment are designed for optimal ergonomics, while our physical locations allow for easy placement of products based on their stock depletion levels (high, medium, or low).
All of this needs to be achieved at a controlled cost with a guaranteed return on investment. Plus, our maintenance services are designed to be profitable and we offer the flexibility to enable shift work as needed.
And, should your needs expand in the future with more references, pallets or picking units, our system can easily be extended and modified accordingly.
Components of a Warehouse or Distribution Centre's Layout
What are the components of a warehouse or distribution center's layout?
An essential aspect of the design of a warehouse or distribution center is its layout, which involves planning the distribution and organization of both external and internal spaces.
This process can have a significant impact on the supply chain, whether it is due to the acquisition of a new warehouse, expansion, or remodeling. The efficiency of managing stocks stored in the warehouse must be reflected in its layout, such as for storing raw materials or finished products.
The design should encompass multiple elements, including the interior and exterior arrangement of the warehouse, the number of floors, installations (electrical, architectural, ventilation), environmental conditions, safety measures, and industrial racking systems for different areas.
Key Components in Warehouse Layouts
Every efficient warehouse, no matter the size or industry, requires a set of key components that serve as the foundation for its layout. These components must be strategically placed and organized to ensure optimal efficiency for the entire operation. It is crucial to carefully consider the layout within each component, as they all play a role in the overall efficiency of the warehouse. Let's take a look at the essential components that should be included and well-arranged in any warehouse layout.
Receiving Area
The unloading, checking in, and sorting of incoming shipments takes place in the receiving area, located within the warehouse. This area is usually connected to a receiving bay, allowing for convenient access for trucks and vehicles delivering goods. Ideally, the receiving area should be situated next to the storage area for efficient movement of incoming items to their designated places.
Storage Area
The inventory is stored in a designated area until it is needed for order fulfillment. This storage space needs to be both orderly and easily accessible, with direct access to the receiving and packing areas.
Common features of a storage area include pallet racks and shelving units specifically used for storing inventory. By ensuring an efficient layout, the storage area can effectively minimize travel time, increase order picking precision, and improve overall inventory management efficiency.
Packing Area
The packing area is where orders are prepared for shipment after being selected. It is usually located adjacent to the storage area and shipping bay. To expedite the shipping process, packing areas should prioritize increased efficiency and precision while also prioritizing the well-being and safety of workers.
Shipping Area
The shipping area is where outgoing orders are processed and readied for delivery. Situated within the warehouse, it is the opposite of the receiving area. The location typically includes a connection to a shipping bay on one side and direct entry to the parking area on the other.
Efficient warehouse designs take into consideration ample space in the shipping area for tasks such as pallet wrapping and using machinery like pallet jacks and forklifts. Additionally, there is a room designated for organizing completed orders that will soon be transported by truck for distribution.
Facility Support Areas
Facility support areas, including restrooms, employee break rooms, and management offices, play a vital role in the daily functioning of the facility. Restrooms need to be conveniently located for workers, while office space should be situated near receiving and/or shipping areas to facilitate tasks such as processing invoices, communicating with clients, suppliers, and logistics companies, and managing other day-to-day responsibilities.
Conclusion
In conclusion, whether your business operates on a small scale or requires large-scale storage, Complete Warehouse Solutions in Lake Illawarra, NSW 2528, has the expertise to provide tailored warehouse racking solutions. With our commitment to maximizing space and improving efficiency, we can help you streamline your operations and boost productivity.

How Can an ERP System Super-Boost Business Productivity
In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, maximizing productivity is critical to staying ahead of the competition. As companies continue to grow, managing operations efficiently becomes increasingly challenging. That's where Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software comes in, which can super-boost business productivity by streamlining operations and automating processes. In this blog, we will explore how an ERP system can benefit businesses, with a focus on manufacturing ERP software in India, ERP software companies in India, and ERP solution providers in India.
Tumblr media
First, let's define what an ERP system is. An ERP system is a centralized platform that integrates various business processes and functions such as finance, supply chain, human resources, and customer relationship management into a single system. By bringing together all these processes, ERP software provides a holistic view of the business and enables companies to make data-driven decisions, eliminate duplication of efforts, and optimize processes for maximum efficiency.
Now, let's take a closer look at how an ERP system can super-boost business productivity.
Automate processes and increase efficiency
One of the most significant advantages of an ERP system is that it automates and streamlines business processes, such as order processing, inventory management, and production planning. This automation reduces the time and resources required to complete tasks, minimizes human error, and increases overall efficiency. By automating these processes, employees can focus on more strategic tasks, leading to higher productivity levels.
Better visibility and decision-making
An ERP system provides real-time visibility into business processes, allowing companies to monitor operations and identify potential issues early on. With this information, companies can make data-driven decisions and respond quickly to changes in the market or customer demand. For instance, manufacturers can use ERP software to track raw material inventory levels and production schedules to ensure that they meet customer delivery dates. This visibility into operations can help companies identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement, leading to increased productivity and profitability.
Collaboration and communication
ERP systems allow employees to collaborate more effectively and communicate more efficiently. For example, with a manufacturing ERP system in India, employees can easily access information related to production schedules, inventory levels, and quality control. This information can be shared across departments and used to make informed decisions. Better collaboration and communication lead to improved efficiency, reduced duplication of efforts, and ultimately, increased productivity.
Scalability
As a business grows, managing operations becomes more complex. An ERP system is designed to scale with a business, allowing it to handle larger volumes of data and more complex operations. This scalability allows companies to continue to grow without worrying about outgrowing their current systems, which can lead to productivity losses.
In India, several ERP software companies offer manufacturing ERP software solutions, and ERP solution providers in India cater to various industries, including manufacturing, retail, and healthcare. These providers can help businesses identify their specific needs and implement ERP systems that are customized to their requirements. By partnering with an ERP solution provider in India, businesses can streamline their operations, increase productivity, and achieve long-term growth.
In conclusion, an ERP system can super-boost business productivity by automating processes, improving visibility, fostering collaboration and communication, and providing scalability. In today's competitive business landscape, companies need to be agile, efficient, and responsive. An ERP system can provide the tools needed to achieve these goals, and businesses should consider partnering with an ERP solution provider in India to reap the benefits of this powerful technology.

“In materialist thought such as that which has characterized the Western world since the Enlightenment, work is a commodity to be bought and sold according to one deterministic law, supply and demand for profit. There is certainly nothing wrong with seeking the maximum profit through the marketplace provided that this is not the end but the means to ensure human development. Seeking profit alone through mechanistic means is very dangerous for society because it treats work as an impersonal force completely divorced from the person who does it. Man might easily be reduced to just another tool for the production of matter. This is the danger in the approach of liberal capitalism. The only value of work is the growth of business itself with no other value needed to adapt it to human use, especially that of the worker. The economic order becomes completely independent of the ethical order.”
- Fr. Brian Mullady OP, Christian Social Order

Starting Your Dropshipping Journey: Registering an Amazon Seller Account
Tumblr media
To begin your dropshipping business on Amazon, the first step is to create an Amazon Seller Account. Visit Amazon Seller Central and register as a seller by selecting one of two plans. The Individual Plan is perfect for those selling fewer than 40 items per month, as it charges $0.99 per item sold without a monthly fee. For larger-scale sellers, the Professional Plan offers advanced tools like bulk listing and advertising for a $39.99 monthly fee. During registration, you’ll need to provide valid identification, a bank account for receiving payments, tax documents (such as a W-9 form for U.S. sellers), and accurate contact details. This ensures smooth communication with Amazon and compliance with the platform's requirements.
1. Navigating Amazon’s Dropshipping Policy
Understanding and adhering to Amazon’s dropshipping policy is crucial for success. While dropshipping is allowed, you must remain the seller of record, meaning customers should clearly recognize that they’re purchasing from you. Amazon prohibits sourcing products from third-party retailers like Walmart and directly shipping them to customers. Additionally, all packaging materials, invoices, and slips must display your company branding. Handling returns and providing customer support are entirely your responsibility, even if your supplier fulfills the order. To comply fully, establish clear agreements with suppliers to ensure they meet Amazon’s standards.
2. Selecting Products and Reliable Suppliers
The success of your dropshipping business heavily depends on the products you offer and the suppliers you work with. Conduct market research using tools like Jungle Scout, Helium 10, or Amazon’s "Product Opportunity Explorer" to identify in-demand products with high-profit margins and manageable competition. Domestic suppliers provide faster shipping and simpler returns, while overseas suppliers often offer lower costs but may involve longer delivery times. Alternatively, consider using platforms such as Oberlo or CJ Dropshipping for streamlined operations. Before partnering with a supplier, test their reliability by ordering samples to verify product quality, packaging, and shipping times. Ensure they can handle returns efficiently and address customer complaints professionally.
3. Crafting and Optimizing Product Listings
Creating an attractive and optimized product listing is key to standing out on Amazon. Use descriptive, keyword-rich titles that include essential information like the product type, key features, and size. For example: “PB Luxury Memory Foam Dog Bed - Waterproof, Large.” Highlight major product benefits in concise bullet points, such as “Premium waterproof fabric, easy to clean” or “Ergonomic design for maximum comfort.” Your product description should be detailed, persuasive, and focused on explaining features, use cases, and care instructions. High-quality images are vital—include professional white-background shots, lifestyle photos, and size comparison charts to build trust and improve conversion rates.
4. Setting a Winning Pricing Strategy
Pricing your products competitively is essential to attract buyers and maintain profitability. Start by calculating costs, including the supplier’s price, shipping fees, Amazon’s referral fees (typically 6%-15% depending on the category), and any fulfillment expenses. Aim for a profit margin of at least 20%-30%. Regularly analyze competitors’ prices and adjust yours to remain competitive. Dynamic pricing tools like RepricerExpress can help automate price adjustments in response to market changes, ensuring your products stay attractive to customers.
5. Managing Orders and Fulfillment
Efficient order management and fulfillment are critical to maintaining customer satisfaction. Once an order is placed, promptly forward the details (including product information and shipping address) to your supplier. Confirm that the supplier provides valid tracking information, which should be uploaded to Amazon Seller Central. Clear and responsive customer communication is equally important—address inquiries, resolve issues such as delays or damaged products, and maintain a professional tone. Although your supplier fulfills the orders, you are responsible for returns and refunds. Coordinate with suppliers to ensure returns are handled effectively, adhering to Amazon’s policies.
6. Promoting Your Products and Driving Sales
Marketing and promotion are essential to growing your dropshipping business on Amazon. Leverage Amazon’s advertising tools, such as Sponsored Products to appear at the top of search results, or Display Ads to promote your products on competitor pages. Offer discounts, coupons, or limited-time deals to entice buyers. Beyond Amazon, expand your marketing efforts to social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook by sharing product promotions, testimonials, and collaborating with influencers. Building an email list is another effective strategy for notifying customers about new arrivals, promotions, or exclusive offers.
7.Monitoring Performance and Optimizing Operations
Regularly analyzing your performance allows you to make data-driven decisions and improvements. Use Amazon Seller Central’s reporting tools to monitor sales trends, advertising effectiveness, and customer feedback. Based on these insights, refine your listings by updating keywords, improving descriptions, or enhancing product images. Seasonal demand and market trends should also guide adjustments to your inventory and product lineup, ensuring you stay competitive and relevant.
8.Ensuring Compliance and Protecting Your Account
Remaining compliant with Amazon’s rules is vital for long-term success. Avoid listing counterfeit products or violating trademarks. Ensure you’re registered for VAT or other applicable taxes and meet your tax obligations promptly. Monitor your account health metrics, including Order Defect Rate (ODR) and Late Shipment Rate (LSR), to avoid penalties or account suspensions. Responding to customer inquiries promptly, preferably within 24 hours, will help maintain a high standard of customer service and protect your account’s reputation.

I.4.1 What is the point of economic activity in anarchy?
The basic point of economic activity is an anarchist society is to ensure, to use Kropotkin’s expression, “well-being for all”. Rather than toil to make the rich richer, people in a free society would work together to “ensure to society as a whole its life and further development.” Such an economy would be based upon “giving society the greatest amount of useful products with the least waste of human energy”, to meet “the needs of mankind”. [The Conquest of Bread, p. 43, p. 144 and p. 175] Needless to say, today we must also add: with the least disruption of nature.
In terms of needs, it should be stressed that these are not limited to just material goods (important as they may be, particularly to those currently living in poverty). Needs also extend to having meaningful work which you control, pleasant and ecologically viable surroundings, the ability to express oneself freely within and outwith work, and a host of other things associated with the quality of life rather than merely survival. Anarchism seeks to transform economic activity rather than merely liberate it by self-management (important as that is).
Therefore, for anarchists, ”[r]eal wealth consists of things of utility and beauty, in things that help create strong, beautiful bodies and surroundings inspiring to live in.” Anarchism’s “goal is the freest possible expression of all the latent powers of the individual” and this “is only possible in a state of society where man [sec!] is free to choose the mode of work, the conditions of work, and the freedom to work. One whom making a table, the building of a house, or the tilling of the soil is what the painting is to the artist and the discovery to the scientist — the result of inspiration, of intense longing, and deep interest in work as a creative force.” [Emma Goldman, Red Emma Speaks, p. 67 and p. 68]
So the point of economic activity in an anarchist society is to produce as and when required and not, as under capitalism, to organise production for the sake of production in order to make profits for the few. Production, to use Kropotkin’s words, is to become “the mere servant of consumption; it must mould itself on the wants of the consumer, not dictate to him [or her] conditions.” [Act For Yourselves, p. 57] This should not be taken to imply that anarchism seeks production for the sake of production in order to meet all the needs of all. Far from it, as such a regime would, to quote Malatesta, involve “employing all of one’s strength in producing things, because taken literally, this would mean working until one is exhausted, which would mean that by maximising the satisfaction of human needs we destroy humanity.” In other words, a free society would take into account the wants of the producers (and the planet we live on) when meeting the wants of consumers. Thus, there would be a balance sought. “What we would like,” continued Malatesta, “is for everybody to live in the best possible way: so that everybody with a minimum amount of effort will obtain maximum satisfaction.” [At the Café, p. 61]
So while the basic aim of economic activity in an anarchist society is, obviously, producing wealth — i.e., satisfying individual needs — without enriching capitalists or other parasites in the process, it is far more than that. Yes, an anarchist society will aim to create society in which everyone will have a standard of living suitable for a fully human life. Yes, it will aim to eliminate poverty, inequality, individual want and social waste and squalor, but it aims for far more than that. It aims to create free individuals who express their individuality within and outwith “work.” After all, what is the most important thing that comes out of a workplace? Pro-capitalists may say profits, others the finished commodity or good. In fact, the most important thing that comes out of a workplace is the worker. What happens to us in the workplace will have an impact on all aspects of our life and so cannot be ignored.
To value “efficiency” above all else, as capitalism says it does (it, in fact, values profits above all else and hinders developments like workers’ control which increase efficiency but harm power and profits), is to deny our own humanity and individuality. Without an appreciation for grace and beauty there is no pleasure in creating things and no pleasure in having them. Our lives are made drearier rather than richer by “progress.” How can a person take pride in their work when skill and care are considered luxuries (if not harmful to “efficiency” and, under capitalism, the profits and power of the capitalist and manager)? We are not machines. We have a need for craftspersonship and anarchism recognises this and takes it into account in its vision of a free society. This means that, in an anarchist society, economic activity is the process by which we produce what is useful but, in addition, is also beautiful (to use Oscar Wilde’s words) in a way that empowers the individual. We anarchists charge capitalism with wasting human energy and time due to its irrational nature and workings, energy that could be spent creating what is beautiful (both in terms of individualities and products of labour). Under capitalism we are “toiling to live, that we may live to toil.” [William Morris, Useful Work Versus Useless Toil, p. 37]
In addition, we must stress that the aim of economic activity within an anarchist society is not to create equality of outcome — i.e. everyone getting exactly the same goods. As we noted in section A.2.5, such a “vision” of “equality” attributed to socialists by pro-capitalists indicates more the poverty of imagination and ethics of the critics of socialism than a true account of socialist ideas. Anarchists, like other genuine socialists, support social equality in order to maximise freedom, including the freedom to choose between options to satisfy ones needs. To treat people equally, as equals, means to respect their desires and interests, to acknowledge their right to equal liberty. To make people consume the same as everyone else does not respect the equality of all to develop ones abilities as one sees fit. Socialism means equality of opportunity to satisfy desires and interests, not the imposition of an abstract minimum (or maximum) on unique individuals. To treat unique individuals equally means to acknowledge that uniqueness, not to deny it.
Thus the real aim of economic activity within an anarchy is to ensure “that every human being should have the material and moral means to develop his humanity.” [Michael Bakunin, The Political Philosophy of Bakunin, p. 295] And you cannot develop your humanity if you cannot express yourself freely. Needless to say, to treat unique people “equally” (i.e. identically) is simply evil. You cannot, say, have a 70 year old woman do the same work in order to receive the same income as a 20 year old man. No, anarchists do not subscribe to such “equality,” which is a product of the “ethics of mathematics” of capitalism and not of anarchist ideals. Such a scheme is alien to a free society. The equality anarchists desire is a social equality, based on control over the decisions that affect you. The aim of anarchist economic activity, therefore, is to provide the goods required for “equal freedom for all, an equality of conditions such as to allow everyone to do as they wish.” [Errico Malatesta, Errico Malatesta: His Life and Ideas, p. 49] Thus anarchists “demand not natural but social equality of individuals as the condition for justice and the foundations of morality.” [Bakunin, Op. Cit., p. 249]
Under capitalism, instead of humans controlling production, production controls them. Anarchists want to change this and desire to create an economic network which will allow the maximisation of an individual’s free time in order for them to express and develop their individuality (while creating what is beautiful). So instead of aiming just to produce because the economy will collapse if we did not, anarchists want to ensure that we produce what is useful in a manner which liberates the individual and empowers them in all aspects of their lives.
This desire means that anarchists reject the capitalist definition of “efficiency.” Anarchists would agree with Albert and Hahnel when they argue that “since people are conscious agents whose characteristics and therefore preferences develop over time, to access long-term efficiency we must access the impact of economic institutions on people’s development.” Capitalism, as we have explained before, is highly inefficient in this light due to the effects of hierarchy and the resulting marginalisation and disempowerment of the majority of society. As Albert and Hahnel go on to note, “self-management, solidarity, and variety are all legitimate valuative criteria for judging economic institutions … Asking whether particular institutions help people attain self-management, variety, and solidarity is sensible.” [The Political Economy of Participatory Economics, p. 9]
In other words, anarchists think that any economic activity in a free society is to do useful things in such a way that gives those doing it as much pleasure as possible. The point of such activity is to express the individuality of those doing it, and for that to happen they must control the work process itself. Only by self-management can work become a means of empowering the individual and developing his or her powers.
In a nutshell, to use the words of William Morris, useful work will replace useless toil in an anarchist society.

Why Your Business Needs a Website in 2024 to Boost Profits
In today’s fast-paced, digital-first world, a professional website isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity for any business looking to thrive. Whether you're a local bakery, a tech startup, or a global brand, having a strong online presence is one of the most effective ways to increase profitability. Here’s why having a website in 2024 is essential for your business success:
1. Your Customers Are Online—Are You?
With over 5 billion active internet users, people are constantly searching for products, services, and solutions online. A well-designed website ensures your business is visible when potential customers search for what you offer. Without it, you’re leaving money on the table.
2. Build Trust and Credibility
A website acts as your digital storefront. It's often the first impression a customer will have of your brand. A professional, user-friendly site showcases your products or services, customer testimonials, and achievements, building trust and setting you apart from competitors who lack an online presence.
3. 24/7 Sales Engine
Unlike a physical store with fixed hours, a website works for you around the clock. With features like online shopping, booking systems, or detailed service descriptions, customers can learn about and purchase from your business anytime, anywhere.
4. Showcase Your Brand’s Personality
Your website is your opportunity to tell your story. It’s where you can highlight your unique value, share your mission, and connect emotionally with your audience. From eye-catching visuals to compelling content, your site can leave a lasting impression.
5. Reach a Global Audience
With a website, your business isn’t limited to your local area. You can attract customers from around the world, expand your market, and open doors to global opportunities—all with a single online platform.
6. Cost-Effective Marketing Tool
Traditional advertising is expensive, and its reach is often limited. A website, on the other hand, is a cost-effective investment that allows you to leverage SEO, social media integration, and email marketing to drive targeted traffic. It’s like having a full-time marketing team at a fraction of the cost.
7. Analyze and Optimize Performance
Websites equipped with analytics tools help you understand your audience better. From tracking visitor behavior to analyzing sales conversions, the data allows you to fine-tune your strategies for maximum profitability.
8. Adapt to Changing Consumer Habits
In 2024, mobile-friendly, fast-loading websites are more critical than ever. Consumers expect seamless online experiences, and a site optimized for speed and mobile browsing ensures you meet those expectations, leading to higher satisfaction and sales.
9. Outshine the Competition
Even in industries dominated by small businesses, many competitors still lack a strong online presence. By investing in a professional website, you can position your brand as an industry leader and capture the customers they’re missing.
Conclusion: Your Website Is Your Secret Weapon
A website is no longer optional—it’s a profit-driving powerhouse. It connects you with your audience, increases sales opportunities, and gives your business a competitive edge in an increasingly digital world.
Don’t wait until you’re left behind. Invest in a professional website today, and watch your business grow in 2024 and beyond!

Tip: Use predictive analytics tools to ensure you always have competitive pricing strategies while still obtaining revenue goals.
4. 🔍 Churn Prediction and Customer Retention Strategies
Prevention of customer churn becomes the cornerstone in the competitive eCommerce landscape. Predictive analytics can identify customers at risk of leaving early before the behavioural cues, such as reduced engagement or infrequent purchases, signal an impending. Once identified, companies can use targeted retention tactics like personalized discounts or loyalty.
Retention Tip: Leveraging predictive analytics in business analytics for churn prediction can help you proactively engage at-risk customers and boost retention rates.
5. 🏢 Inventory and Supply Chain Management

Can Dropshipping Be Automated? Demystifying E-commerce Automation Tools
Tumblr media
Dropshipping has become a popular e-commerce model due to its convenience and low initial investment. However, as businesses scale, managing order processing, supply chains, and customer service can become overwhelming. Automation tools offer a solution, streamlining operations and allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growth. This article explores the concept of dropshipping automation and the tools that can make your business more efficient.
What Is Dropshipping Automation?
Dropshipping automation involves leveraging software to handle repetitive tasks such as inventory management, order processing, and customer interactions. These tools minimize manual work, reduce errors, and enhance efficiency, enabling merchants to prioritize marketing and customer engagement.
Common Dropshipping Automation Tools
Order Management Automation Tools like Shopify's Oberlo, WooCommerce's AliDropship, and Spocket simplify order processing by automating tasks such as product listing, order syncing, and customer notifications.
Inventory Synchronization Inventory tools like DSers, Inventory Source, and SkuVault monitor supplier stock in real time, reducing the risk of overselling or stockouts.
Automated Price Adjustments Tools such as PriceYak, RepricerExpress, and Informed.co dynamically adjust product prices based on market conditions, helping you remain competitive while protecting profit margins.
Customer Service Automation Customer service platforms like Zendesk, Tidio, and Gorgias use chatbots to handle common inquiries, improving response times and overall customer satisfaction.
Logistics Tracking AfterShip, Tracktor, and ParcelPanel automate shipment tracking, providing customers with real-time updates and reducing inquiries about delivery status.
My Experience with Dropshipping Automation
As a dropshipping entrepreneur, I’ve experienced the highs and lows of automation. Initially, I encountered challenges setting up Oberlo, leading to delayed orders and customer complaints. Through persistence and learning from tutorials and online communities, I eventually optimized its functionality.
Similarly, integrating Tidio for customer service revealed limitations in preconfigured responses, which initially frustrated customers. After personalizing its settings, I achieved smoother interactions and improved satisfaction.
These experiences taught me that automation tools are not a "set-it-and-forget-it" solution. They require continuous adjustments and learning. Once optimized, they transformed my operations, freeing up time for marketing and expansion.
How to Implement Dropshipping Automation
Identify Your Needs Assess your business's pain points. If you handle many orders, start with an order management tool. High customer service demands? Use a chatbot.
Choose Integrated Solutions Select tools compatible with your e-commerce platform to ensure seamless operation and data flow.
Test and Optimize Regularly monitor tool performance, adjust settings, and refine workflows for maximum efficiency.
Benefits and Challenges of Automation
Benefits:
Saves time by automating repetitive tasks.
Reduces errors in inventory management and order processing.
Enhances customer satisfaction through faster responses and updates.
Challenges:
Requires a technical learning curve to set up and manage.
Some tools may involve substantial costs.
Continuous monitoring and optimization are needed to ensure efficiency.
Conclusion
Dropshipping automation offers a practical pathway to scaling your business. By carefully selecting and implementing tools for order management, inventory tracking, customer service, and logistics, you can streamline operations and focus on growth. While automation requires initial effort and investment, its long-term benefits—time savings, reduced errors, and enhanced efficiency—make it a worthwhile endeavor for serious entrepreneurs.
