June Plan With Me / 2023


 How do I grow this side hustle to a full-time job? In the month of May, I made a total profit of $96.87, working less than 6 hours total on my shop each week and not sourcing. At the end of every month I do a review of how I did that previous month. 

This is also the best time to set goals for the new month. I need this to be my best sales month. 

It's the last month of the second quarter! 😱

I sell media online, but I am slowly branching out to carry clothes and other hard goods. I am also trying to change my mindset to sell items for more than $10 profit per  item. Nothing less than $7 any more. I want to make $15 / per hour reselling and do this 20 hours a week. 

Part time I work as a school custodian. A dirty job, and some might consider reselling a 'dirty' job. I am a beginner on Ebay, but I've been selling on Depop and Mercari, I've sold on Etsy, Facebook Marketplace, and I made this channel to see if I could really make it on Ebay, and learn from others in the Ebay community. 



Stay Consistent

I've been working on a "work schedule" for Hyla Brook Books. Time management is key to stay consistent. 

Like Sundays are for listing on Ebay.

 Schedule days for photographs.

 Create a draft bank. 

More Efficient

How can I save time in my business? I need a shipping station and photo studio.

Declutter inventory / my death pile so I'm left with the cream of the crop.  

Better Customer Satisfaction

I miss my branding - the orange and yellow tissue paper, the bookmarks with my business name, and the stickers. It costs a little bit per item but I think it helps you stand out.

When you have happy customers they tend to come back. This is how you build trust.


I'll be aiming to make daily sales to reach my $200/week goal. I will have a What Sold June 1-7 post up soon.

Tomorrow I go in to get a deep cleaning, and I really need it. I am using my money from reselling to pay for my dental work. 

I will check in with my Mid - Month Review for June around the 12th-14th, I will do my best to list high profiting items and making a workspace.

End of the Month Reseller Report // January 2023

I am a part time reseller on Mercari, Pango Books, and Ebay. I flip books online, I love having an online bookstore. Here is a break down of my January sales. This was my first month back reselling! I am hosting a giveaway to welcome back all my readers over on my Facebook page where I am giving away 12 vintage true crime novels. I also wanted to celebrate by doing a fundraiser to raise money and awareness for my favorite cat rescue.  My Cost of Goods were .25! I didn't have to pay anything in shipping, here's a small break down of the platform fees: Mercari:  -$3.56 Pango Books:   -.79 Ebay:   $-1.31 Overall, I had a total of 7 transactions. A total of 9 books left the shop! 3 on Mercari 1 on Pango Books and 1 on Ebay. I also had 2 transactions on Paypal. (100% of the profits went to the rescue.) My goal is consistent sales, I ended up listing only 37 books in the month of January. More listings equals more sales!!  My net profit was $17.28, BUT I di...

When Your Best Friend Pulls Out A Yearbook 2010

It's so crazy to look back at myself more than 10 years ago - my skinny jeans, converse wearing, side swept bangs and puka shell necklace self. I just noticed my legs are crossed in both photos. John Earl had a mega crush on me, and we were Literary sweethearts and he even bought me my first typewriter : a vintage Royal typewriter with a locking case.  He ended up marrying a very pretty girl and he seems like the perfect husband.  I was in Literacy Circle (a club for readers) all years in highschool and worked as a media assistant those years too.  Funny how I'm looking at this photograph, 10 years later, selling books.

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...
