Anyone else experiencing slow sales?

My sales are usually pretty steady but the last 2 months have been slow. This year has been pretty good for the most part for my sales. Except this month and last month it's going down by a lot.

October has been absolutely horrible for me! And it's not just here, either, but everywhere I upload designs. I have no idea what's going on.

It's the same for me too. It's all across the board slow on many sites but idk why. 

I sadly relay on this for income and I never really had to worry until now.

Sales are down for me this month and the items that sells are mostly low priced products which leaves me with few cents. This summer l had decent number of sales and earning. I thought it will go up in october as it start q4 but I am really surpised, l don't know if the world economy is the reason

Ditto for me! I had a very good summer until Oct. And, as well, the sales I've been getting have been small. Last 2 years Oct. was when it really started to pick up. Just don't get it! Sorry to hear others are experiencing the same but it does make me feel better.

My sales were good in the Summer.  I though: "This is how it works"...  Then the sales slowed down. Days with no sales.
The conclusion: POD is unpredictable. And what's the strategy when something is unpredictable?

My sales have definitely been slower, with the ocassional trickle of a mug, tisssue paper (when it's actually in stock), and a couple of phone cases. I'm sorry that you and others are experiencing slower sales, too. I am also wondering about inflation, layoffs, and the economy in general.

One idea is to check the visibility of all of your Collections, after the Collections "improvements," and ensure they are enabled in all the right stores. About 20% of my collections were stuck in migration, and a few others were no longer associated with all the right stores. After I made sure all were correctly enabled again, I received a few more sales, although I don't know if the actions were related.

Here's hoping we all receive more sales in the coming months!

This is my first year and so I do not have a comparable to prior years at the same time. This thread makes me curios as to what creators typically see this time of year? 

I have had a few Christmas designs sell, but I am very curios as to when designers generally see their Christmas items sell. I keep going back and forth in my mind as to how much designing I want to do for Christmas stuff since the sales window is small.
