2021 Listing Challenge : Day 3 List 100 Items before Sourcing

I'm trying to stay motivated.

I constantly look at how many listings other Etsy shops have - especially book shops. Right now I have 76 listings on Etsy.

Listing a bunch on Depop has caused me to lose a lot of followers, I noticed.

I will try to take new photos for Depop, and casually cross list to Mercari throughout the night. I decided to tackle the cross listing in shifts, I used to try to do it one after the other. (example, list on depop, then that same item on Mercari.) Then what I started to do was list on my Instagram Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. This was already proving to be a lot but i liked the schedule.

Naturally, I post to Depop the day before - so Monday's, Sunday's. I usually post on Friday's to Depop too.

I can't afford any cross listing bot anyways. But if I can just increase my sales by just a little, I might be able to later afford one.

Instagram - Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays

Depop - Mondays

Mercari - Mondays

Facebook groups - Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays

Alright, let's see what I got around to posting today.

Not a whole lot, but I feel like Saturday I'll be able to post a lot more. In 7 days we will have the #letfreedomringbooksale so really hoping to have a few sales to wrap of June with. I also found out after comping Alice in Wonderland I sold it for way to low ($12 Free Shipping) when Thriftbooks had the same copy, 1 left, for $44. Mine did have a water stain that I didnt know which is one reason I dramatically slashed the price, but the stain is on the dust jacket, not even the book. At least I made someone's day with this very amazing book.
