Might depend on the product. Maybe etsy?

I’m trying to appeal to shoppers like me, I think there is too much going on and I usually default to Amazon, insta shops, or google when looking up products. I don’t really like the interface or app. The only time I buy things from Etsy is if a friend recommends it or if the shop owner that I found some other way sends me links. So starting out, i’d rather go on platforms that I’m more familiar with or use. I could be totally wrong about Etsy but it’s based on my user experience

What’s your product and who is manufacturing it

I’m in the early stages but I usually filter by verified manufacturers and ones with trade assurance. I also used jungle scout to look up product ideas, sales data, and analyze competition. I’m pretty new to it though but the back and forth on Ali Baba can be time consuming, so I try to find manufacturers with good ratings and response times. You have to be very clear with requirements, pricing, shipping time/cost up front so there aren’t any surprises down the line that would force you to start over. I haven’t gotten a product made yet but hoping to have something soon.

Advice needed. I’m leaving an incredibly toxic work environment (admin, students, parents, etc) for my dream job. I already resigned, but my students don’t know yet. I knew if I told them, their behavior would be even worse. How would you explain to the kids you’re leaving? I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.
