hey! i am a 14 year old crocheter trying to start my first buisness. i have tried posting a tester call before and it did not go as planned… i had 1 tester so i eventually called it off, i also realized i had no clue how to start a tester GC for the testers i accepted… sorry for my 
newbie energy but im so grateful for this crochet community and hopefully y’all can help!
happy crocheting!

When you have testers, click the “shop manager” button in your shop, then select the testing section, when testers have applied your pattern will show up in this section for you to approve testers. Then, once you’ve approved a few testers, a button that says “message testers“ will show up, just click that to make a message to start a gc.
Hope this is helpful, feel free to let me know of any more questions you may have!
OH MY GOSH! thank you so much! this just made my day! im so grateful!
if you would be interested in testing for me let me know! (if and when i get this right) or i can tag you!
I don’t always have the right materials or time, but if you could tag me in the tester calls that would be great!
So glad I could help!
Hi! Be careful on here sharing your age. Just wanted to say.
Hi! Thanks! I’m aware and have permission from my parents, so no worries! thank you for checking in tho! you are so sweet!
What test did you have out?
I can test for you when the time comes
So u know, the support page is for problems with ribblr itself not things you need help with personally. 
hi! jst wanted to say, having your user as (likely) your full name, and sharing your state and age can be dangerous online, especially if you’re a minor. the internet is full of creeps :/
awesome!
I agree! take a look at this post for more information :)
good luck with testing + your business!
thank you! i have taken this into consideration but prefered to ask the ribblr community with experience doing this! thank you
im well aware of this and wanted to thank you for checking in but i have approved this with my parents and internet safety is not the point of my post. Thank you!
hello… just so everyone here is aware… im 14, not stupid… i am aware of the risk that posting brings but my parents have talked about this with me, and it is not up to this community to decide what i should post… thank you all for your caring hearts and consideration… believe me, i appreciate you guys looking out for me more than you know, i will never DM a stranger here privately or on any other platform….
again, i now im young, but a little bit of common sense goes a long way in our world… i’ll make it on my own
thank you 
You go girl!!
I’m also a crocheter of a similar age starting a business. I feel u. Also, I’m happy to test when the time comes along
would you like to test for my pattern? i just posted it!
im so thankful for those who support me! 
No one said you where stupid, sweetie.. a bunch of us are protective moms.. the gals are just here trying to help out… they have seen talented young designers like you not able to succeed because of legalities..
Don’t take anything wrong– the gals that are experienced with this site, only want to help..you did ask for help so they stepped up to help..bee easy sweetie…
your totally fine for checking in, and i would never try to imply that anyone said i was stupid, all im saying is i have been equiped by my parents with good reasoning and common sense and I am vigillent while using these platforms and i am not niave to the risk!
you are awesome for reaching out! and thank you for your comforting and sweet words!
