Mid Month Review : October 2020

At my last job we would do a monthly review to see if I was making my stats and aligning with my goals. Its a time to step back and strategize and remind myself what my Monthly Goals are. Heres the link to my October Plan w Me.

Depop = 213 listings

Mercari =

Etsy = 36 listings

One of my goals is to have 300 listings and I have more than enough books to list. I need to do some listing!

What Sold - October 1-7

What Sold - October 8-14

What Sold - October 15-22

My goal for the month is a new record in sales $360. I have also zeroed in on an organizing system.

With over 1,000 books tucked away in my one bedroom apartment, some books pull a Houdini on me. The books somehow escape from the shelves or box i put them in, and I'll spend hours trying to figure out where the book is, only to magically find it in a different box.

The only books on the shelves are listed; all the books in boxes still need to be photographed and uploaded. They are divided into sections: kids, teen, nonfiction, reference, vintage books. It's not a refined system but it'll do until I get more shelf space.

Another goal is to post on social media, its hard with my disability. most of the time i use my left hand only. I have CRPS in my right arm, a rare degenerative nerve disease. so much strife and sorrow came with 2020 but my bookshop brings me hope for the future.
