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.

What Sold Oct 8-14 // I turned $4.25 into $75.57

 Did I do better than the week before? I barely listed any items. Days went by where I didn't list. I had sales on all 3 platforms. My COG was free. adidas Boys track jacket, small child 7/8, outdoors winter workout =$3.91 AUTOGRAPHED America : Imagine a World Without Her, Dinesh D'Souza non fiction = $4.35  1970's football dolphins steelers nonfiction biography vintage NFL sports books = $1.31 colleen hoover books bundle paperback thriller bestseller = $8.09 Dorothy wizard of oz Halloween costume cosplay blue gingham dress = $12.42 Oathblood Mercedes Lackey paperback vintage used book fantasy =$1.99 A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas = $7.50 Y2k denim overbust shrug / bolero asymmetrical = $40.25 $79.82 - $4.25 COG = $75.57 These are the kind of weeks I like as a hobbiest/ side hustle. $80-$200 a week is preferable. But there's a LOT of work into reselling, you should set your goals higher. $100 a day. 

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...
