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!!

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...

What Sold July 1-7

 These weekly What Sold posts kept me organized, so I'm bringing them back. I review what items sold on each platform, how much it sold, the fees, and what my profit was. Every month I have the same goal to make $350, but my dream goal is to make $800 per month just by selling books. I currently sell on Depop, Mercari, Instagram, Etsy, and various Facebook groups. Depop has been incredibly slow - I have not made any July sales yet. In June I had 4 orders, in May I had 3, in April I had 6 orders, 7 orders in March, 9 in February, and 7 in January. That gives you an idea how many orders come through Depop and why it's important to cross list. I think I have more sales on Mercari. The Summer Slowdown is here! I haven't made any sales yet on Mercari in July. Mercari makes it a little harder to view your sales history in chronological order, but here is how many orders went through each month this year 2021 on Mercari: January - | | | | | | February - March - | | | | | | | | Ap...

Selling on Ebay for Beginners - Pt. 1

 I am brand new to selling on Ebay, I avoided it because I personally felt that the interface felt outdated, I never buy anything on Ebay, and Ebay seems intimidating . On the other platforms I sell on, it is so easy and fast to list. When I listed my first item, it felt like I was filing out paperwork at a doctor's office. It's going to take some time to get used to Ebay's layout, a newcomer can't navigate the Seller's Hub so quickly. It's free to register. Ebay will send an amount to your bank you have to confirm to receive payments. When you first start out, you can only list 10 items per month, this renews every 90. You have to build up your "feedback" - so I'll have to make a purchase or two through Ebay. (Going to see if I can find a Samsung Technologies Q2U microphone to upgrade my Podcast!) This link below is essential reading for new Ebay sellers: https://export.ebay.com/en/listings/limits/selling-limits/ The website says 10, but I was onl...
