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!!

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...
