Girl Defined's great-grandfather Johann (Hans) Grosslercher was a member of the NSDAP since 1925 and was the Nazi mayor of Saalfelden, Austria. He was arrested multiple times in 1934 likely for participating (and possibly leading) Nazi demonstrations (which was illegal in Austria at the time). He became the mayor of Saalfelden a mere six days after the Nazi Germany annexed Austria, which should give you a good indication of his status and influence within the party. u/softspock wrote a fantastic masterpost here with a ton more details that I encourage everyone to read, if they haven't already. None of this would be an issue if it wasn't for the following: Bethany poses beside her Nazi ancestor's gravesite | https://archive.is/z31eh During her honeymoon, Bethany and her husband posed in front of the gravesite of her great-grandparents. Savvy users quickly noticed the names and looked them up, only to discover the details I listed above. Bethany began deleting comments inquiring about the Nazi connection. This post is still up. The questioning comments are not. One of the photos contains Bethany and her husband standing in front a four-storey villa. Her caption mentions: "My Nana grew up in this house and this adorable Austrian town. I love that the house is still in the family!" Under her great-grandfather, nine Jewish people and their families had their property and businesses taken away under "Aryanization" laws. One couple, Artur and Sara Kant, owned a department store that was seized, with Artur being sent to Dachau in November of 1938. Bethany's tone implies her family faced persecution, not that one of them was a Nazi | https://archive.is/GYCPu Another post has the caption: "With family that lived in Austria and were directly impacted by the war, I have a special interest in learning about what they went through." Johann Grosslercher likely oversaw sending Saalfelden's Jewish community to the death camps. Once WWII ended, he was removed as mayor in 1945. If Bethany is unaware of her ancestor's Nazi history and involvement, it may also be because her mother still holds him in high regard. One of Heidi's sons is nicknamed after him ("Hans"). She also made the following post below (since deleted): Girl Defined's mother, Heidi, posts an actual picture of her Nazi grandfather, indicating that they still hold him in high regard. This Nazi ancestor is still idolized within the Baird family to the point where Girl Defined either remains completely ignorant of his actions or they are deliberating misrepresenting their family history. A 2012 blog article written by Bethany that takes care to mention her grandmother, but misrepresents her great-grandfather's arrest as oppression by the Nazis, rather than an arrest of a Nazi by the Austrian government. https://archive.is/9wplv Whether it's genuine ignorance, historical revision, or Nazi apologies, I'll let you decide. Racism & Cultural Appropriation On Thanksgiving Day 2020, Suzanna Baird (the youngest of Girl Defined's siblings) decided to dye her hair black and dress up as Pocahontas. Suzanna Baird poses outside in a homemade Native American outfit with red face paint. Her caption reads \"Pocahontas vibes\" Sue, along with her family and friends, appear completely ignorant as to why "dressing up" as a Native American woman who was kidnapped, had her Native husband murdered, was forced to give up her first child, was raped by white colonialists, forced to marry John Rolfe, forced to convert to Christianity, never saw her family again since she was most likely murdered before the age of 21. Sue poses with other friends and family donning pilgrim hats. Sue's caption reads: \"TURKEY TROT to try to get rid fo the 5 cinnamon rolls I've eaten already\" The systematic genocide, oppression, and cultural destruction of Native Americans has a long and shameful history from European colonization, Native American slavery, Indian Removal Act, Trail of Tears, forced cultural assimilation, forced religious conversions, the residential school system, and so much more. Even today, Native American communities still face high risks for mental health issues, suicides, alcoholism, substance abuse, diabetes, tuberculosis, and other health conditions stemming from past and current trauma. There is a disturbing amount of missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW) and Native American women are twice as likely to face violence than any other demographic. https://preview.redd.it/et8px1vetzd61.png?width=457&format=png&auto=webp&s=afcb4e2365c312834de3f0ba95bcf8b72cb2f263 Suzanna Baird poses with a friend. She has painted red streaks on her cheeks. Ellissa and Fiance's Homophobia Ellissa has recently posted that she wishes to "clarify false info" regarding accusations of homophobic remarks made by her fiance. In case she herself is unaware, here is what he has posted regarding the LGBT community on his own social media (translated from Russian): https://archive.vn/t01j2 u/slavic_at_the_disco has a great post where she translated this and other comments he's made. If you're still doubtful about what the rasterized image says, here is the text to copy and paste: Nike разорвал контракт с Мэнни за его слова: «Женщины были созданы для мужчин, а мужчины — ‘для женщин. Видели ли вы когда-нибудь, чтобы у животных самцы были с самцами, а самки - с ‘самками? Если мы разрешим однополые браки, тогда человек хуже животного». Поделись этим постом в поддержку Мэнни со словами: Не покупайте одежду Nike.Which roughly translates to: Nike broke the contract with Manny for his words: “Women were made for men, and men were for women. Have you ever seen with animals, males were with males, and females were with females? If we allow gay marriage, then a man is worse than an animal. " Share this post in support of Manny with words: Don't buy Nike clothes.And some more bigotry since this was not a one-time thing:
Gatekeeping Christianity During the 2019 Girl Defined Conference, Bethany and Kristen publicly tore down another fellow Christian YouTuber, God is Grey, in front of their own young audience simply for having a different interpretation than them. They are hostile to her progressive, LGBT-friendly, and sex-positive messages. On stage, Bethany infamously says: "Like, why even call yourself a Christian?" Bethany has the audacity to call into question another Christian's faith. This was especially egregious considering that Brenda (God Is Grey) previously reached out to them a whole month earlier via email, kindly asking if they'd be down to discuss and explore their differing views on purity and modesty. They responded that they'd be delighted to talk via Skype, but that they were swamped with conference prep so would have to schedule when it was less busy. Days go by with no further correspondence. Until Brenda's own fans discover that Girl Defined has publicly questioned her faith and ripped her apart at their own conference. Brenda did an entire videoabout how Girl Defined played sweet to her face, but essentially stabbed her in the back. Grifting for Fun & Profit Girl Defined has been shady about their business operations and expenses at best. As a non-profit, they are required to file an annual 990 Tax Return. Here is their report for 2017 and here is the report for 2018. They haven't released the 2019 form, but when pressed, they offered a budget & expense report, not the actual amount of money they take in. They had a net asset of about $92,625 by the end of year 2018, but continue to ask for donations about $30,000 at the end of each year. They once asked for $20,000 when Cody Ko's video on them went viral. One of their biggest yearly expenses appears to be ~$6000+ on "Meals & Entertainment". https://preview.redd.it/lq5wm0q8tzd61.png?width=499&format=png&auto=webp&s=4faa2c08976dfaa344080b49699b1613cc49c19b In Dec 2019, they claimed they needed nearly $15k for a new website and rebranding | https://archive.is/9UkeL Despite exceeding their year end donation goal of $30,000, there is still no new website as of November 2020 and no one knows where that money went. During COVID-19 shutdowns and economic trouble for hundreds of millions in the country, Girl Defined did not seem to take it very seriously. Instead of helping their local community, donating to people in need, supporting those infected either financially or emotionally, it was business at usual at Girl Defined HQ. They've travelled on domestically multiple times, travelled internationally at least twice, held a summer wedding for their brother, planned to hold their annual conference in-person before the city stepped in, held numerous unnecessary parties and gatherings, and have questioned whether masks stop the spread of the disease. Bethany made an out-of-state trip (with her unvaccinated young baby) to buy up 38 entire dresses from Charleston thrift stores, thereby removing potentially the only affordable clothing for low-income families in the area. She later marked up the prices for 6x what she likely bought them for and is currently attempting to sell them online. https://preview.redd.it/oqm8spf7tzd61.png?width=639&format=png&auto=webp&s=fe2c020c5a0c201772622031ccde2873f8ab12b0 "Like, why even call yourself a Christian" indeed. In conclusion... Girl Defined is not the nice, wholesome, polished Christian brand they make themselves out to be. They are a sinister sexual prosperity gospel cult that preys on insecure and vulnerable young women looking for direction and answers in their lives, if they are not already being raised in fundamentalist households to begin with. Their teachings on purity culture and intolerance of LGBT do real harm. And no, saying "hate the sin, love the sinner" is NOT a loving response. Neither is endorsing "ex-gay" spokespeople like Jackie Hill Perry when your audience comes looking for answers on what to do if they're gay. Neither is assuming that just because they say it with a gentle smile or claim to do it "out of love" that it's actually love. It's not. It's manipulation and it's disgusting.

So Bethany and Ellissa have been whining about persecution and hate today and while I certainly don't think some of that is unjustified, I thought I'd remind everyone about all the crap GD has done because I'm in a very petty mood 💅 submitted by firewhiskers to FundieSnarkUncensored [link] [comments] Masterlist of Girl Defined's ArticlesTransphobia

As a dropshipping beginner, finding products for the online store is a principal concern. Here is a guide. You can find answers of the following questions: submitted by PaulYu_EPROLO to drop_shipping [link] [comments]
1. What is dropshipping business model?It is a kind of ecommerce business that online store owners take charge of selling and dropshipping suppliers make the order fulfillment. In this business model, the online retailer receives orders from customers and places demands with dropshipping suppliers. And suppliers prepare products, check the quality, pack and ship them to customers. So the most important thing to make a successful dropship business is to conduct product research and find the best dropshipping products to sell online.2. What are the best dropshipping products 2021?It would be pretty challenging to find an excellent dropshipping niche from diverse kinds of products. But keep two points in mind and make things easier. At first, choose a profitable niche with demands. Besides, find a product which is suitable for shipping. There are different product ideas for people who are beginners or have owned an online business for a long time.If you don’t have an ecommerce business experience, choose the dropshipping niche with less competition. Competitive products are difficult to make a success. When using ads of Google or social media platforms, it also means you need to invest more money to get exposure for products. If you already have an ecommerce store and are familiar with target marketing, choose products by following your business ideas. Some people may want popular dropshipping niches, such as clothing. There are many target audiences and many competitors; also, the profit margin is relatively small. But as long as you have high quality products and good customer service, it can attract many clients to buy again. Other store owners may like more profitable niches, such as diving equipment. They are some customers want, but not all. Also, there are fewer competitors. So, as long as you enter into the niche, it can be your cash cow. https://preview.redd.it/aq0nifrlbed61.png?width=800&format=png&auto=webp&s=3a4271360154fddd8b60a4a5bb54cdcb95e6f79b 3. How to find products to dropship in 2021?3.1 Online shopping sitesThey can also be considered as platforms, such as Amazon, eBay, AliExpress. After years of development, these platforms have already had a lot of users. Most of ecommerce business owners sell different types of products there. Platforms get data about best sellers and trending products. You can check them here.
3.2 Social MediaUsing the hashtag to find popular drop shipping products to sell online. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok have various hashtags. You can find everything related to the hashtag you enter. Its work model is a bit like a search engine. Type a product hashtag, and you will see how many posts there are on the platform. Also, on Facebook, you can search groups, check members in them and posts update frequency. Go to the discussion section and find what people like. These are real user experience and may give you the direction to find the best dropshipping products in 2021.3.3 Competitor product researchStudy your competitors carefully and copy his business model is a good idea to start. This may be the easiest way to succeed. Go to his dropshipping store and check every detail. Then you may ask, how can I do better? Not only before starting a dropship business, but you should also always keep observing the dynamics of your competitors.First of all, what are they selling? Learn about product details and their target marketing strategy. Products on his ecommerce store are undoubtedly profitable. Find out their suppliers, product price, and shipping costs. Then, carefully read customer reviews on their online store. Because this is the only place you can know the experience of people who really buy products. You will understand what they do well, OK, learn it. Moreover, you can see where they are not doing enough. Great! Learn it, too. In fact, this is the most valuable place. You know where online business owners tend to fail. Pay attention to them will make you better. 3.4 Dropshipping product research toolThese research tools are specifically for drop shipping products. And the most well-known tool may be AliExpress dropshipping center. However, recently, AliExpress was banned in India, and this news is quickly widespread worldwide. Indians are eager to find the best AliExpress alternatives for dropshipping.
4. How to make dropshipping products research?After finding profitable niches, you need to check whether there are enough demands in the market. If not, even your product ideas are great and have substantial profit margins, it’s obviously not a wise choice to continue.4.1 Google trendsGo to the Google trends page, enter the product name and search. You can also set the target country or worldwide, time range, category and search type. Here, we just get the trending of “face mask” in the United States within the past 12 months.According to the result that Google trends shows, we know that it may not be the right choice for the long term business. Its search volume had a big breakout around April 2020, but then it dropped sharply. Some online retailer made a fortune at that time, but it didn’t take long for the business to fade obviously. Of course, we all know the reason is the improvement of COVID-2019. But when will it rise again? No one knows the accurate news. In the short term, if you want to try this type of product and have the drop shipping supplier, upload them to your ecommerce store is OK. 4.2 Visit online storeGo to Amazon, eBay, or AliExpress shopping sites, find ecommerce stores that have your target products listed online. Search the product name and get all results on them. You will see those best sellers. If you want to get a successful dropship business, analyze the top 3 will be a good idea. Check their description, price point, shipping costs, customer reviews and other information. A good review is always important for all ecommerce business. It means that people are satisfied with what they bought and likely to buy again. Customer loyalty is hard to build but a powerful thing.4.3 Google keyword plannerIt’s a tool in Google Ads and totally free: https://ads.google.com/home/tools/keyword-planne. Type the keyword and get results. Also, you can set locations, language, and time range. For example, when we search “camping chair” and it shows these.The average monthly searches are between 10k-100k, and competition is high. It means there are many competitors in the market. And if you want to make advertisements for your products, it shows the approximate range of CPC cost. Of course, 10k-100k monthly searches are high. You don’t have to worry about whether people need it or not. So, don’t hesitate and start your dropshipping business now. 4.4 Other toolsThere are also many other keyword tools that can be used to conduct a product search. For example, ahrefs, semrush, kwfinder, ubersuggest and so on. Most of them are paid, some provide a free trial. You can check the keyword search volume, trend, difficulty, CPC cost, and SERP results with them. Compare these data among all your target products and choose the one to sell online.5. Things after finding dropshipping products5.1 Find dropshipping suppliersTo do a successful dropship business, the most basic thing is to find a product supplier that is worthy to trust. Because it’s responsible for delivering products to your customers without passing through you. You are unable to check each package and make quality control.5.2 Set the price pointAfter learning the product and shipping costs, add some profit margins and confirm your sales price.5.3 Check the shipping timeOn-time delivery is a vital part of customer service. Think we are going to go hiking, and then we bought a pair of hiking boots online. It arrives two months later when we almost forget about why buy it. This is really a terrible experience you will never want to have again. So, check the shipping time your dropshipping suppliers offer and decide if they will be qualified. |
