Gig work value is too great to rush a US overhaul

Julie Su, the president’s choice for labor secretary, has a history of redefining gig work. And while health insurance and retirement savings are valuable perks, gig workers view flexibility in the same way. Half of surveyed gig workers, meanwhile, make less than a quarter of their income from freelancing. Gig work has also grown alongside traditional employment, not at its expense. With most gig workers happy as they are, a one-size-fits-all rethink threatens pointless harm to a growing corner of the economy.
Etsy launched a wedding registry service Wednesday. The move comes as some stores roll back wedding registry services and on the heels of Bed Bath & Beyond's bankruptcy. In conjunction with the launch of the registry service, Etsy published several blog posts outlining popular wedding trends and gift ideas. Personalized wedding and bridal gifts have long been popular on Etsy and frequently showcased in gift guides. Other recent retail closures, restructurings, and bankruptcy filings from companies like JCPenney, Lord & Taylor, Barneys, and Neiman Marcus have also impacted the registry market, retail expert Burt Flickinger told CNN.
I started my Etsy business in April 2020. I've tried printing on demand for items such as tote bags, shoes, and shower curtains. I quit my job 18 months after starting my Etsy businessIn June 2021, I quit my customer-service job. I now work on my Etsy business full time. I've made $730,000 in revenue from Etsy since I started in March 2020.
While Bed Bath and Beyond and its popular wedding registry service teeter on the edge, Etsy is stepping in to fill any potential void. Etsy announced on Wednesday that the online marketplace for handcrafted items is launching its own wedding registry. In addition to selecting registry items from Etsy’s vast offerings of handmade and vintage items, the company said the Etsy Registry will also provide couples with a personalization service for nuptial-related paraphernalia, such as wedding decor and bridal party items. “So, launching Etsy Registry was a natural next step,” she said. Etsy has launched its own wedding registry called Etsy Registry.
The two sat down together and drew a circle around New York City on a map and started looking for where they could buy land for a farm. The 180-year-old farmhouse originally sat on 40 acres of land. The couple initially bought 16 acres, but was eventually able to buy the entire property back. Two months and 25 viewings later, they saw a 180-year-old farmhouse on 16 acres of land in Kingston, New York. Over time, Katwise and Brown were able to buy the other 24 acres, which brought the property back to its original size.
He doesn't recommend trying to start a YouTube channel or voice work if you're looking to make money quickly. Under his handle @sidehustlereview, he tells 100,000 TikTok followers what he learns, including what makes money, and the time involved. My For You page is just side hustle after side hustle," Ryan told Insider. In addition to UGC, the other top side hustles Ryan recommends are hauling junk and being a virtual assistant.

Politicians have been threatening a nationwide TikTok ban unless ByteDance sells its stake in the app, a move China said it "strongly" opposed. "That's the power of TikTok," Spangler said, adding that the app drives the majority of sales for his business, The Good Chad.

Creators are turning to other platformsVivian Tu, who lives in Miami, has been preparing for a possible TikTok ban by working to build her audience and diversify her content across multiple platforms. With the looming threat of a TikTok ban, Foster said she's been sharing content across Instagram, YouTube and Twitter to try to expand her following.
He says a US ban of TikTok could crush his business, but he doesn't want to pivot to Instagram. The majority of his customers find him through TikTok, Spangler said, where he has over 237,000 followers across two accounts. "The immediate impact of a TikTok ban would be a loss of my primary income source." In April, Montana legislators voted in favor of a bill that would ban TikTok within state lines. But ideally, Spangler said, TikTok will avoid a ban and he won't have to rely too much on a pivot to YouTube.

Morning Bid: Bank reverb frames Fed decision

While there was some minor repricing of Fed probabilities in the futures market, the latest bout of bank stock nerves is unlikely to change the Fed's course on its own. A White House economist on Tuesday said Fed rate hikes were having a negative impact on the banking sector. Signs of some loosening of a very tight labor market may also encourage the Fed that its rate hiking job is done after this week. Private sector job readings for April are due later today along with service sector surveys for the month. With the Fed in view alongside the debt ceiling crunch and bank stock retreat, longer-term Treasury bonds rallied.
New York CNN —The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is advocating for an increase in the deposit insurance limit for business payment accounts following the three recent bank failures. It also provided temporary unlimited deposit insurance to non-interest bearing accounts in the wake of the Great Recession. The agency’s proposal, outlined in a report it released Monday, did not specify what it thinks would be an appropriate increased level of deposit insurance for business payment accounts. The FDIC considered two other deposit insurance reforms: raising the insurance cap across all bank accounts, and extending unlimited deposit insurance to all accounts. Increasing the insurance cap on business payment accounts would likely result in increasing the premiums that banks pay to the FDIC.

But my e-commerce success really started after I launched my coffee accessories brand, Kaffe, on Amazon in mid-2019. I spent day and night thinking about the best way to position the coffee grinder so it would get to the top of Amazon's rankings. My sales started to grow. Amazon has its own coffee grinder that it sells under its Amazon Basics private label, and it retails for a couple of dollars less than Kaffe's does. On Amazon, you're either growing, or you're really dying, and the fees will eat you alive if you're not doing any volume.
Morgan Stanley estimates that in 2022, only 23% of the $4.3 trillion of U.S adjusted retail spending was online. Add in AI, which can drive better shopper experiences or better conversion, it could bump to 9% or possibly 10% CAGR, he said. Eventually, AI can help retailers pitch tailored products to each potential customer based on their prior history. You might see it in the member services experience in having a better opportunity to get customer support," he said. As retailers move ahead in their plans to integrate AI into their business, some will build the capabilities.
New York CNN —It’s April 18, the official deadline to file your federal and state income tax returns for 2022. Whether you have already filed your tax return or still need to, the good news is this tax filing season has gone much more smoothly than the past three, which were hurt by the pandemic. But you may want to anyway if you think you are eligible for a refund thanks to, for instance, refundable tax credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit. If you’ve already filed your return, you’re probably glad to have it in the rear view mirror. But one thing is common for the vast majority of US tax filers: Audit rates are exceedingly low.

A police raid on a bar just outside of London renewed a debate over racist dolls. But despite the long history of the racist trope, the debate over the doll's place in British culture continues. Revellers take part in the Children's Parade at Notting Hill Carnival in London, Britain, August 28, 2022. But it does appear that there is some gradual shift in public opinion happening with the dolls. Nevertheless, the enduring popularity of the blackface doll creates the impression "that we live in a post-racial society," Scott said.
