Nuts & Bolts – New Earnings Thresholds Effective 1/1/21
 
 
Introduced 7 years ago, the quarterly thresholds for artists’ earnings were announced in July of 2013.
 1Q = $150     2Q = $150     3Q = $150     4Q = $300  
 
Artists who meet or exceed the quarterly threshold earn Premium Earnings (double).  Artists with more than one storefront can combine store earnings to reach the thresholds. 
 
Note: Stock Card Creations earnings are not eligible toward meeting the thresholds. 
 
Effective 1/1/21, GCU will be increasing the quarterly threshold amounts.   
 
The new thresholds are as follows and will first be reflected in 1Q 2021 earnings:
1Q – $250      2Q – $250      3Q – $250      4Q – $500
 
Please let us know if you have any questions.

The difference is made in the details!

Here are some quick tips on Diwali cards.  And a potential plot twist here as Diwali tradition is to leave candles burning, yet American cake tradition is to blow out the candles on your cake – so which is it?  Do a little research yourself and see what seems like the right move for these crossed traditions. Also, reducing the bacteria by not blowing out the candles sounds like a great idea in 2020!
 
We’d like you to create at least one card for these categories using the Stock Cards function or your own graphic designs.
