What is "star seller" ?

    After reading several articles, I concluded that the star seller is an "appreciation tag" given by one of the market place to sellers who have met the criteria to become a star seller. The criteria that must be met include sales with 10 different buyers, net income exceeding several million per 30 days, maximizing the feature of replying to buyer chats (above 65%), not / have less than one penalty point and store assessments above 4.50.

Star Seller Program in Market Place

Why I didn't join "star seller" program ?

    Earlier this May I was notified that my store could enter the star seller program after a weekly assessment. At first I was quite surprised, because this is one of the achievements that sellers can get in market places such as e-commerce. This also proves that I am serious about this business.

    Before I was invited to join the program, I read many articles about the advantages and disadvantages of this program and in the end I decided not to join the program at this time. Honestly, getting this appreciation tag is an honor but there are other things I want to get in other fields, so I'm not interested in joining this program.

    Another thing that supports my decision is the posting of my mutuals on SNS when they entered the program and it turned out to have a lot of admin and service fees. To be honest, I try to achieve a satisfactory profit margin for my store, so that I as a seller and maker of accessories can survive with the income from the sales proceeds. 

P.S: Admin fees for ordinary stores and star sellers are different, so it is also a consideration when invited to join this program. If you feel that sales are sluggish or there is a new product that you want to promote, we can use the advertising feature by paying a few rupiah per day (determine your market and capital before activating this feature).

What is your purpose in doing business?

    I am not a person with a business/management background, but indirectly have entered this field and have been doing it for almost a year. There is a market that I want to reach in the future and to achieve that I have to try to raise some funds and re-strategize in entering the market. The final result that I want to get is of course a stable income / at least it can cover monthly expenses and and can be saved some for emergency funds.

    There are still many things I want and can do as someone with an art background. I also learned a lesson on entrepreneurship and this is also in the lessons I got at school. Of course with this experience, I hope to develop my business even more outside to foreign markets (outside Asia) and be able to develop more products in the future. Furthermore, with the crafting skills I have, I hope to make many products that are useful for buyers, both from cosplayers and from the public.
