For the Love of Books - Library Sale - Book Haul for my Bookshop




 I made a video for youtube and reminded myself that the main reason I started my youtube channel was to document my thrift hauls and what solds, and my declutter process. My office space is looking great, and I am a quarter of the way through the Minn Game, or the Declutter Deathpile series. That is the next video I am going to work on right away.


I decided, at least until I reach 500 subs, that I don't care TOO much about the quality of my videos. I need the algoritm to know that I will post a video every 3-5 days. Once I reach that many subs, I will probably privatize most of my videos and "start from scratch" by remaking videos - this was a suggestion and I thought it wasn't a bad idea to take the original videos that arent well produced and reproduce them.


Once the Declutter Deathpile series is over, I will publlish my Detachment is Hard, where I talk in depth about clutter and how it affects my mental health as well as my business, how they are linked, how shame is tangled in this, and how hard it is to come undone.


I am also trying to make sure I start early with my audience that I write poetry. at least for now. I will not mention it again until i reach 1k. but that's because I think it is really a good move when youtubers you follow, say writers, end up with 4k and THEN start modeling. like "oh yeah, i'm multitalented" it's a big flex.


I want to get sponsers for glasses and audible. I will also start with my other channel too, and I do what to take a class in video editing. I can see that there is potential in earning some money from youtube. Even a 300 dollar amount is a whole care payment. 


I read this fun article this morning how this gen z er made a challenge to herself to make $100 every day with side hustles. Can I accomplish this reselling?


For a while, I was accomplishing $40 profit days, EASILY. without trying. If you save that much money for 100 days, she had enough to buy a house.


How many books did I end up adding to my shop? I need to process all these books this weekend. I want to start making drafts for them. It's a process - I sit down with the stack of books and write the description on Mercari, and save all these drafts. Same with Ebay. (These are my two top reselling apps.) Then I will spend a whole day taking photographs of all these books. 

In 3 days, i will have listed so and so many items. it's a long process BUT i find this fits with my busy schedule and mental health. I hope I can find other side hustles to help me make money - I am starting to consider babysitting and dogsitting, the oldest side hustles in the book.

I am going to push myself to pump out some videos!! I need to reach 500 by the end of February!!

November Plan With Me / 2020

I have an online secondhand bookshop using Etsy, Depop, and Mercari. I also have a rare nerve disease called CRPS that is gradully getting worse. Hyla brook Books isn't just a distraction, it's a benediction. I applied for my dream job: an children's librian assistant at the library. I had hope that I could make a living of $300/ week reselling - but my record sales in a month was $351.13 (August report). It's my dream to make a living selling my art and books.  What are my top 3 goals for the month of November? Make $390 - sell my art work - list 300 items across all platforms What are my weekly goals to accomplish my monthly goals? One resin project a week - make a scheduling routine-  focus on books with high resell value - create space to photograph  What could I have done differently in the previous month to improve my shop revenue? List every day 2-4 items or 10-15 listings. Use art to heal. Engage more. List clothes! | How Much Did I Make in October ?...

What Happened To the Declutter Deathpile Series?

 There were two main objectives in the Declutter Deathpile series, or The Minn Game: 1. Get rid of clutter by removing items from my apartment.  "out with the old, in with the new."  "everything must go"  "letting go of what no longer serves my business" and not listing items that are not worth my time. 2. complete within 30 days removing 1 pound of stuff on day 1, 2 pounds of stuff on day 2, and so on and forth. "a weight off my shoulders" "quantifying how much I let go." "make sure items are removed by midnight that day" I had planned to make consistent content, a video update every 3 days throughout the month I cleaned out stale inventory.  Declutter My Deathpile / The Minn Game / Days 1 & 2 New Years Resolutions Declutter with Me// Reseller Deathpile/ Days 3,4,5 of The Minn Game Declutter my Deathpile with Me / The Forgotten Stories / A Poem Declutter my Deathpile day by day / reseller plays minamlist game I want to br...
