Books That Sold During My Listing Challenge 2021

Out of 100 books that were listed, these were the ones that sold for me at the time of finishing this listing challenge (July 18th Completed the Listing Challenge)

I decided to look back on July, at the 100 Items Listed, and compile what sold by the end of the month in one blog post. 

Day 1

Day 2

Day 3

Day 4

Day 7

Day 11

Day 19

Day 21

Day 22

Day 24

Day 26

It took me 26 days to complete the 100 Item Listing Challenge. 

My COG was $6.99. My profit on these books were $109.46. A total of 34 books out of the shop!

Hopefully as the fall rolls in, more of these books will sell! I like to keep books no more than 6 months but I have held on to books for a year that eventually sold.

If 18 books out of 100 sold and I made $109, how many do i need to list to make my dream goal of $800? 

I like to look at it like a math problem - if only 10% of what I list sells, and that 10% makes me $$$, how many items do i need to list to make my desired monthly income? This is how you use data to get the results you want. This is how you are able to set achievable goals. I'm wondering what my next listing challenge should be?

100 items in 2 days?

how many can i list in 1 hour?
