Timecodes:
and suddenly in the month of july i made
859 pounds in one month
how is that even possible yep and i did
it all on depop
and here's how
okay i'm back again as promised with
another depop video
on how i made money on depop now if you
don't know
i sold painted vinyls on depop
and i've managed to make a kind of a
substantial amount of money whether
you're using depop to sell clothes or
art sell any other kind of kitchenware
accessories whatever it is that you're
selling
um i can give you a few tips that i
learned
whilst i was actually doing the d-pop
stuff i just i
wish i'd known this stuff at the start i
could have made less mistakes
if i had known these things i also
watched like every single d-pop video
out there
ever possible so i've put all of the
most
important things into one video which is
this one
so you better like this video
and appreciate it because i made a lot
of mistakes and
i'll be damned if nothing good comes
from it so i'm telling you guys what my
mistakes were
so number one most people probably
already know but if you do not know this
it took me an embarrassingly long time
to figure out that this is like a
necessity
because if you do not refresh your
listings at least
once every few days or every single day
okay you will not get people clicking on
your
because it will be old it'll be at the
bottom depop basically works off the
newest thing is at the top
so the more you refresh your listings
the more likely people are to find it
and then buy your
and like your stuff that's definitely a
big one the most
overlooked thing on depop but it's so
important and that is
considering your postage because if your
postage is more expensive
than the item itself or not even more
expensive but just not worth the item
itself
no one's gonna buy it so at the start i
put my postage
up quite a bit because i was like oh i
need more money
as like extra to make up for what depop
is taking
no no not the case put it as low as you
can if you can do free postage
do free postage because there's a little
thing that you can swipe
to say i do free postage and you are way
more likely
to get sales if you do that also people
like to know how long it might be
to post so make sure you're always
always always
fast with your replies and in the
description of your
items also put how long it's going to
take to post
so i've already said this in the last
video that i did but if you
live in the uk oh my god you need this
link uh i only found it halfway through
and it was such a lifesaver i would end
up spending way more money at the post
office than i needed because
the lady would always charge me extra
because i didn't know the exact
dimensions so i just said just send it
off you do it
it's called find a price or give me a
price okay it turns out it's actually
neither of those it's called royal mail
get a price
but it's so useful you just put in the
size of your parcel the weight of your
parcel
and where you're shipping it to and it
gives you an exact price with how much
it would be to track it
second class first class and also how
long
each one would take so you can give
people on depop
the choice so number two if you're
starting out
get your family and friends on that get
them to help you out
get them to buy something sell them
something the best thing about this
is that if you know them well and they
live nearby
you don't need to think too much about
postage on your depop account
basically you have like the number of
things that you've sold
the little tag next to it and also
you have reviews at the top and this is
what people are going to look for
when they are considering whether to buy
from you or not so if you do not look
professional and you
do not have many things sold or
many reviews no one's going to buy from
you also another thing which is
important is that
first your paypal needs verifying so
it's good to just like
the first person that buys from you just
knowing who they
are really so then they can't claim back
the money if you don't know them
sometimes people do do that
they might request a refund i know that
happened to one of my friends
it was like months later the person
requested a refund another big tip
for getting more people on your page
is to follow people like just go around
and follow people
search up your item that you are selling
look on all of the
most popular posts of that
item on depop and just follow
everyone that's what i did i just went
on to all the art accounts
and i followed everyone who had liked
those pictures and i knew that they
would be interested in my posts and
they'd be like why is this person
following me
because they are selling the exact thing
that i'm looking for
the thing about depop is you're only
allowed five hashtags but every single
word
in your description is a keyword top tip
put a little section at the bottom with
hashtags and keywords
and just write all of the stuff out that
you need to include
make sure you use the absolute maximum
for your description that's what i
always do
i always make sure that i have every
single word that could ever possibly be
searched
that is to do with my item and i have it
all in my description because i know
that if people search that it will come
up
just as much as it would for a hashtag
so the next tip is use the most popular
depop hashtags hashtag depop
hashtag depopseller hashtag vintage
hashtag s for some reason i don't know
why
the fifth one is hashtag depop community
don't ask me why
it works you don't have to use all of
those hashtags i would use
one or two that are specific to your
product that you're selling okay the
next one
which i've forgotten the number is i'm
tired don't ask any questions
the next top tip use your computer
to go on depop and you can rearrange
in the top low corner it says rearrange
items
and you can change the arrangement of it
and now i like to organize mine in a
very nice way which i'm going to leave
at the side over here
so you can see exactly where all the
coasters are down the middle and then
the
vinyls down the sides which is just
super super helpful
it honestly made such a difference to my
sales no one was buying the coasters
really before they would just see the
vinyls and just buy those but
now i've got like a consistent theme
people can see
another tip okay is if you've sold
something
and for some reason you haven't done it
through depop
you can still post it on depop and press
the three
little dots in the top and then mark as
sold
and then it will stay at the bottom of
your page people can see that you've
sold it they can see the kind of stuff
that you make like for me if i do a
commission through
instagram i'll put it on my depop and
then i'll just mark it as sold
and honestly kind of a bit of a hack to
make you look like you've sold things
before
and yeah just people will scroll down
see all of these
things that you've sold and just be like
you know what i trust this person and
they'll be more likely to buy
bundle deals they're actually quite
helpful as long as you're not putting
yourself out of pocket make sure you
work out the finances behind it
a bundle these can be a really really
great thing for getting people to buy
your stuff i've had so many people
instead of spending like 18 pounds on a
one vinyl they will
then spend double the amount just for
free shipping
so i'll get double the amount of money
only takes me a few more hours to
paint another vinyl and you just get way
more sales because you get it
free shipping so i know that that always
works on me
for things that i buy on depop if they
have free shipping for more than two
items
there is almost 100 that i'm going to be
buying two items and another thing which
is
super important is quick replies check
your depop messages
at least once a day if you can put on
notifications on your phone and reply
as soon as you see that someone has sent
you a message because the amount of
times i've given a slow reply to someone
and they've been like oh yeah i'm not
interested or just straight ass
straight ass me and the amount of people
that i've
left it too long before messaging and
they've just either not replied never
logged on ever again
they're never gonna reply they've left
depop they've left the country they've
probably left earth at this point
they've gone they've died they've had
children grandchildren
and i still have not replied to their
message do you think that they're gonna
want the same
pair of trousers or the same t-shirt in
50 years time no
reply quickly okay that's the one thing
that will get you sales not the one
thing but one of many things it goes
without saying
these last few tips um don't be a
be really nice
don't give dead replies you're the one
who's trying to sell things to them
be really friendly check up on them tip
number three
is make sure you lightly
nudge people remind them to leave a
review because these reviews
oh my god 100 more likely to buy stuff
from you if they think that you are
reliable
uh if they know that people before them
have bought stuff from you
and that they are happy with it and that
you are a nice person
