 It's imperative I make as much as I can in November and December. I'm using Depop, Mercari, Instagram, and Facebook groups. I should use Etsy but I find the fees too much and I'd like to keep my prices affordable. It is 10:19 PM as of writing this, and I'm updating all my listings to included #saletime. My strategy is to bump my listings until a sale occurs. The best hours are after 5pm to midnight. I haven't listed anything new this week. I'll be choosing 5 books I think will sell quickly. (5 instead of 10 b/c my hand feels bruised) i'm very tired. it was a bad thanksgiving start, one for the books. i'm glad I can end it on a good note.  I went ahead and listed books I got for free with the intention that they would sell quick and cheap. I like to offer customers a wide range of budget options. Then I posted what I call a "teaser post". The above books I'll post tomorow. I also did not intentionly pick the books out for the color. I chose...

I source every week for my used bookstore Hyla Brook Books. Regardless of feeling like I've already taken enough, I went and got more books because winter is coming. I dont have a car. I dont have a job. I'm not on government assistance. I only have what Ibe made from my shop all year, which is only enough for another month. The money I was saving for a car.  Praying.

5:30 p.m.  Something I'm going to try is push myself even farther. I aimed to list on all my platforms today: Depop, Instagram, Mercari, Facebook groups and Etsy.  On Depop, I listed 8 books and a promo post.  I posted 9 times within 24 hours on Instagram, HBB vault.  I shared 2 posts in Wonderlust: Frog and Toad and a vintage book called Beloved Tales.  And on Mercari I've listed 6 books today, November 16.  9 p.m. I discovered a new trending hashtag on Depop= #saletime  I've already started seeing a small increase in traffic via likes.  I havent updated all my listings on Depop yet. I posted more books on Mercari.  9:18 PM I made a sale!! I knew this book would sell fast. Funny thing I had it priced at $12 then increased it to $14 when i noticed some Ebay sellers selling it for alot of money. Super happy with this quick flip!!

In the middle of each month I like to evaluate how I'm aligning with my goals. There's still time left this month to make my November stats. Here is my November Plan with Me post - I did not get the librarian assistant job, but I did apply for the Dry Cleaners down the road. At this time, I am out of stimulus money and reaching into my car savings. I am wondering how to double my profits.  How much money have I made so far? The first week I made $35 and last week I made $93.45. That's a total of $128.45. My goal is to make more than $360.  What Sold - November 1-7 What Sold - November 8-14 I am pushing myself to post videos on Youtube - they are 1 to 2 minute snippits of vlog time since I don't have a SIM card. I have a whopping 29 followers on my youtube. Watch my Latest Youtube video here One of my goals for a few months is to have 300 items on Depop, Mercari, and Etsy.
