November Plan With Me / 2020

I have an online secondhand bookshop using Etsy, Depop, and Mercari. I also have a rare nerve disease called CRPS that is gradully getting worse. Hyla brook Books isn't just a distraction, it's a benediction. I applied for my dream job: an children's librian assistant at the library. I had hope that I could make a living of $300/ week reselling - but my record sales in a month was $351.13 (August report). It's my dream to make a living selling my art and books.

What are my top 3 goals for the month of November?

Make $390 - sell my art work - list 300 items across all platforms

What are my weekly goals to accomplish my monthly goals?

One resin project a week - make a scheduling routine- focus on books with high resell value - create space to photograph

What could I have done differently in the previous month to improve my shop revenue?

List every day 2-4 items or 10-15 listings. Use art to heal. Engage more. List clothes!

| How Much Did I Make in October ? |

My first week I made $24.49, then $178.13 the next week, only $23.91 the week after that, and my last week ____. I sold a total of 50 books, a Steelers jacket, Alice in Wonderland leggings, and a vintage Avon picture frame, and a unique little photo album, and a sherpa vest. There was a total of 35 October orders.

Listings on Etsy: 31

Listings on Mercari: 180

Listings on Depop: 310

I want to thrift every week but I need to budget since this is my only source of income. It can take a while for some books to resell and with how this year has been I dont know what's in store for my little business. I'm just so grateful to God got getting me this far.

Listing Challenge: I listed like Daily Refinement for A Week

Daily Refinement says you can make $100 a day if you list 5 items that will make you $20 profit. I really like how he puts this into perspective, plus, this challenge motivates you to list items that are worth your time. It's October 1st, and I need to list 5 items! Already the challenge of having enough to source at that high value is evident. All my items I got for free or have been in my closet for a long time. I also want my main focus to be Ebay and Mercari. The first item I listed was this rare, vintage y2k denim overbust shrug bolero. I got this years ago when I started shopping on Poshmark for myself. Or maybe it was Vinted. I don't remember. I have this listed at $85 depop/ mercari / The second item was a pair of black leather boots, brand new they ran a little big for me but I think they would go great for cosplay as well as casual wear. I have these priced at $55. depop / mercari / ebay Next was a pair of Nautica jeans. Not sure how well this siz...
