Plan With Me : December 2020

Every day is a benediction. I have been thanking God every day. I have a disability with my hand, a rare nerve disease called CRPS from shattering glass. Books are literally saving my life. Last month I made my record number in sales. My inventory has doubled in one month with beautiful picture books in pristine, loved condition. I'm going to get more books this month from the Rusk County Library. If that isn't a blessing, I don't know what is.

Not sure why the Lord is letting me hijack the library, but they are letting me walk out with hundreds of books and are giving me the green light to do it.

My goals this month are to relist books that have been sitting this year and make room for all the beautiful books I have. List on Instagram and respond right away to messages and ship as soon as possible.

List everything I can and my clothes that i got in my closet.

My sales goal is to make $400 this month. Last month, November 2020, I made $369.99.

I'd like to make 3-5 orders a day 5 days out of the week.

Ideally make $300 a week, but $860 would also be good a month.

1. Goal 1: Clear Out old Inventory, Relist

2. Goal 2: Make a Sale Every Day, List new books every day on all platforms

3. Goal 3: Utilize Etsy, invest whenever I make a sale and have frequent sales, share to FB

4. Goal 4: Make $400 for December

5. Goal 5: Organize, divide books unlisted/listed and into sections, in safe place

End of Month Reseller Report - July 2021

How much did I make in July? It's August 2nd and I'm taking a look back at my accomplishments. What Sold July 1-7 What Sold July 8-14 What Sold July 15-21 What Sold July 22-31 I made $235.54 selling books. I did my first ever listing challenge and I want to do another one - stricker dead line. List 100 Items in 13 Days. That's half the time it took to do the original challenge. 13 is also the date I was born. A Baker's Dozen. Perfect! When I told Joe at the Post Office I wanted to make $1k or $800 a month he blew a tire and looked skeptical, and he kinda laughed. We both did. Is it such a crazy idea that I deserve this? That at the end of everything, I'll be the owner of a secondhand bookshop. Some cool things I added to my shop: Magic The Gathering Cards, skirts, I opened my Ebay store and added items but haven't completed the set up. Also, my new goal is to make $100 each week by pursuing sales. Offering to likers on Depop which i never do - posting more i...

What Sold July 1-7

These weekly What Sold posts kept me organized, so I'm bringing them back. I review what items sold on each platform, how much it sold, the fees, and what my profit was. Every month I have the same goal to make $350, but my dream goal is to make $800 per month just by selling books. I currently sell on Depop, Mercari, Instagram, Etsy, and various Facebook groups. Depop has been incredibly slow - I have not made any July sales yet. In June I had 4 orders, in May I had 3, in April I had 6 orders, 7 orders in March, 9 in February, and 7 in January. That gives you an idea how many orders come through Depop and why it's important to cross list. I think I have more sales on Mercari. The Summer Slowdown is here! I haven't made any sales yet on Mercari in July. Mercari makes it a little harder to view your sales history in chronological order, but here is how many orders went through each month this year 2021 on Mercari: January - | | | | | | February - March - | | | | | | | | Ap...

Selling on Ebay for Beginners - Pt. 1

I am brand new to selling on Ebay, I avoided it because I personally felt that the interface felt outdated, I never buy anything on Ebay, and Ebay seems intimidating . On the other platforms I sell on, it is so easy and fast to list. When I listed my first item, it felt like I was filing out paperwork at a doctor's office. It's going to take some time to get used to Ebay's layout, a newcomer can't navigate the Seller's Hub so quickly. It's free to register. Ebay will send an amount to your bank you have to confirm to receive payments. When you first start out, you can only list 10 items per month, this renews every 90. You have to build up your "feedback" - so I'll have to make a purchase or two through Ebay. (Going to see if I can find a Samsung Technologies Q2U microphone to upgrade my Podcast!) This link below is essential reading for new Ebay sellers: https://export.ebay.com/en/listings/limits/selling-limits/ The website says 10, but I was onl...
