Having a cap sets a manageable limit to how many designs go through the moderation process (we\u2019re humans, not robots!) and it helps our creators be selective with their range in a way that will maximise their sales potential on thortful. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0c09e7b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0c09e7b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2dce4f8\" data-id=\"2dce4f8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa59073 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"aa59073\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How do slots work?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bc4bb2c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"bc4bb2c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8ca21df\" data-id=\"8ca21df\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9438b63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9438b63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p style=\"outline: none;\">You can fill your slots by uploading designs to the website, but once they\u2019re full you\u2019ll be unable to upload any more.

Focus on upcoming occasions, as well as key \u2018always-on\u2019 occasions such as Birthday and Anniversary, as these are our best-selling categories.<\/p><p>Unless you\u2019re planning to promote your thortful range by directing traffic to your profile, we\u2019d also suggest deleting cards that have been moderated as \u2018profile only\u2019, and uploading others in their place. If a card is approved to \u2018profile only\u2019 it means it will not be available from the thortful catalogue but can still be sold directly from your profile, so without self-promotion you are unlikely to see any sales (though we always recommend self-promotion regardless of moderation status!) Once your cards are moderated you can check their moderation status from your creator account under \u2018Card Management\u2019. Once again, be mindful that there is a limit to how many times you can do this, so be selective about the designs you upload to thortful. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a0e16d6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a0e16d6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9db519d\" data-id=\"9db519d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-744bbe8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"744bbe8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"442\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/catalogue.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Screenshot of creator profile showing the card&#039;s moderation status.\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/catalogue.jpg 650w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/catalogue-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/catalogue-162x110.jpg 162w, https:\/\/blog-content.thortful.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/catalogue-324x220.jpg 324w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c2008bc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c2008bc\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-49ee124\" data-id=\"49ee124\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-750eee7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"750eee7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FAQs<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b09270b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b09270b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f8a5b2a\" data-id=\"f8a5b2a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2932b6a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2932b6a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p style=\"outline: none;\"><strong>How can I request more slots?\u00a0<br \/><\/strong>If your cards are selling well and you would like to request additional slots, get in touch with us at <a href=\"mailto:creators@thortful.com\"><b>creators@thortful.com<\/b><\/a> and we\u2019ll be happy to review your upload limits.
