they'll got me crazy
hi Pixies my name is Gigi welcome or
welcome back to my channel last week I
filmed a big huge closet clean-out and
this week I'm filming how to get rid of
that stuff through deep hot tea pop is
an amazing way because you can make some
money you're being sustainable you're
helping other people thrift and it's
just really good so I'm gonna show you
the ins and outs and how I sell on deep
pop I am selling like one to three
things a week so mighty pop is growing
like a little bit but the amazing thing
about deep pop is you don't need to be
like deep pop famous or like an
influencer to sell anyone can sell on
deep pop so yeah that's what we're gonna
be doing today I hope you love this
video and it's helpful and let's just
jump right into it okay so here's my
setup just my toxin tape and I just like
taped it onto this mirror thing and then
also onto my wall over here
extremely crafty hand Manship but I just
got this backdrop from also yes let's
just look at it now there's one nail
holding on let's just not talk about it
okay okay it's got this white backdrop
from Amazon for I think like sixteen
dollars I'll leave a link down below
this definitely isn't necessary and you
could use a sheet but it is nice to just
have something that's like meant for
photography you could also just use like
a plain wall or like an aesthetically
pleasing wall also it's not completely
necessary but it definitely does help to
have a ring light this one I'll leave
another link for it below this is
actually Brandon's he let me borrow it
Thank You Brandon this is a monster this
light I highly recommend it so if you're
looking for a ring light it's a little
bit on the pricier side and my opinion
is worth it so
[Music]
down here I'm actually just sorting
things out into piles of t-shirts normal
shirts these are all pants right here
I have accessories those are all dresses
and I still have all of this to sort
over here do you want to be changing as
little as possible which is why I'm
sorting everything out right now ahead
of time so that way I can just wear like
one pair of pants and then try on all
the shirts and then wear one shirt and
try on all the pants you don't have to
be changing like your entire outfit
every single time I'm also gonna be
sorting all of this kind of seasonally
so that way if I have like priority of
where I'm gonna post I'm gonna post what
I know people will be buying like right
now so for example it's winter right now
at least where I live so I'm going to
post in my warmer things first priority
and then from there moving it down
through the ranks to the summery items
[Music]
so as you can see because of how I hung
this up I have this like nice like
little cave to get stuff out of the way
here and just kind of you know make me
feel a little bit more sane I'm gonna
move all that stuff on the floor back
here so that when I'm out here taking
pictures it's out of the way that way I
can stay in denial about what a mess my
room is
I just like retouch my makeup a little
bit you should take one picture kind of
with my like face in it sometimes kind
of just to like emote the outfit I guess
if that makes any sense at all but it's
definitely not necessary you don't need
to have your face in the pictures at all
I just do it because I feel like it kind
of brings the picture to life but again
not necessary you could totally take
these pictures on an actual camera like
this but since I only have one camera
and I want to be able to film this
process for you guys I'm gonna take it
on my phone but I actually think that's
good you don't need to have like a super
nice camera and you don't need to be
like depop famous it's not like
Instagram influencers anyone can sell on
depop that is the T okay if I can do it
you can do it I'm going to do here very
important D pop post pictures in a
square so you're gonna take your
pictures in square so that you don't
need to go back in later and clop every
single picture what you're gonna do is
you're good then I'm gonna put it on
self timer I have mine two three seconds
right now but depending on how much time
yes so you're aware button to camera has
worse quality than the back camera
quality so if you're really worried
about your photo quality and you are
sacrificing it like and start up using a
nice camera like this you would probably
want to flip the phone and take it the
other way that's just really tricky
because you have to keep running back
around and clicking it every single time
which gets really exhausting if you only
have like a couple things to post okay
but if you have like a ton of stuff it
just doesn't seem worth it clothes just
need to be visible and look good but
they don't need to it doesn't need to be
like these high h.q whatever quality
photographs okay I'm gonna take like a
couple angles of each one as well I'm
gonna do one kind of active one where
you can see my face so it just feels a
little bit more dynamic and get some
inspiration and feel more like excited
to buy it because I know that it looks
cute on you and then I'm going to take a
picture from the back and
I'm gonna do a super up-close one so
they can see the fabric and the details
of the piece that you're shooting last
time at least it's also very important
if there are damages on whatever you're
selling like a stain or rip literally
anything I promise you taking a picture
of it and posting it along with your
pictures is going to save you time and
money it's really important to be
transparent with customers about stains
and damages a lot of the times people
don't care like I've bought things with
a little staying here and there or even
a little rip it's just really important
to be transparent about those so that
you don't like have to like open any
deep up disputes and stuff so that's
important just be honest and caring
everybody okay okay so I just took
pictures of everything
well actually it's daytime now and it
took me to like 1:30 in the morning so
but I finished let's just sleep when
we're dead
I already started uploading some this
morning and I just wanted to show you
the upload process on epub to optimize
your sales so this one I actually only
need really felt like I needed to upload
two pictures so that's what I did and
then in the description I always like to
start off with like something that will
really catch their attention so often
times I put in capital letters and then
I just try to describe the item in like
a cute way that would like excite
someone about buying it I don't know
kind of like a marketing type of idea at
least that's what's going on my head I
don't know
in marketing but for this one I was like
baddie little guest ha I go on to
describe the top so I said this hot pink
crop top is sure to turn heads so soft
and comfy this top is so flattering it
is guess the pink color is so cute it
makes the perfect casual bit or it can
be dolled up for a flirty night out I
think it's really smart in your
description to tell them a some way that
you think it would look nice styles this
would look adorable with the jean jacket
and like your favorite pair of shoes and
then you also give them an occasion to
wear it too so for a casual day or a
flirty night out kind of just makes the
customer while they're reading envision
themselves this is just my thought
process who really knows if that
actually works but uh that's where I'm
going
that's what I'm going for and then I
like to describe the size just in a
little bit more detail and I always try
and make sure that I also tell them that
I'm a true extra small so I say I think
this could fit an actual small or small
just depending on how crop do you want
it to be remember that the model is a
size extra small and then deep hop gives
you five hashtags that you can use I've
gotten in trouble from depop before by
using hashtags of like just brand names
because people you should do that a lot
to like kind of get like attention to
their products and it does work but
depop obviously doesn't want you doing
that because it's like a big false
advertisement which makes sense so you
can't just use brand names for like
attention the Styles like crop tops
sweater sweatshirt then the color pink
blue etc you guys know your colors 2020
we'll learn our colors it's cool brand
if it's like a brand so that I know
people will search and then anything
else if the shirt has butterflies on it
for example you'll want to write
butterfly these are all things that
someone might search when they're
shopping on depop so if you like grow
butterfly and your thing has butterflies
when someone searches butterfly just
because they're in the mood to get
something butterfly related then a ton
of stuff is going to come up and yours
is going to be included
[Music]
so I try and choose the most dynamic
picture that I think would catch
attention for the first one and then I
also try and pick kind of a more
full-body one so then I'm gonna write my
description I said you'll be the baddest
fatty at the event in this top so cute
and flattering see I'm really just
trying to hype up the product this is a
brandy melville top so it's super soft
and comfy I always like to say something
about the quality of the shirt cropped
little cardigan with cheetah print
shrimp and then I say something about
how it can be worn this can be dressed
up or down depending on your occasion
and it's so freakin cute perfect for a
night out but would also make the cutest
off-duty model look with your favorite
pair of jeans and some layered gold
jewelry and now we have five hashtag so
I'm gonna start with brandy melville if
you have a big brand like brandy
melville it will get traction make sure
you use that to your advantage then I'm
gonna say cheetah print and I'm gonna
say cardigan crop top and I'm gonna say
one more and I'm gonna say cropped
cardigan pricing is probably the hardest
part for me um this shirt specifically
is in like perfect condition and I
probably bought it for like $20 but
here's the thing
from my ears on depop once I started
pricing my off my pieces lower I sold
more but if you're selling more things
at lower prices in the end you're gonna
make more money you know so it's good to
err on the lower side because trust me
they will sell faster if they're lower
but you can also kind of start a little
bit high and say like accepting offers
in your bio and then people can like
actually just send you offers but at
least you have like a chance of getting
that hot air price I must say this is
gonna be $18.00 and see how that goes
just because this is a really nice top
[Music]
shipping okay let's look at the pop
shipping together here is the D pop
shipping and D pop shipping mm-hmm
it's probably the easiest way to ship
because all you have to do is click one
of these and then literally it just does
it for you and it gives you the thing to
print off and you just stick it to your
package and you're good to go but D pop
shipping is kind of actually very
overpriced I have found that people
really don't like these shipping costs
especially since they've gone up so it's
like literally it's like nine dollars
for a t-shirt like twelve dollars for a
jacket like it's just like very
expensive shipping if you do want to
take this easy route I would highly
highly highly highly suggest getting a
little we're from Amazon I was ajust
doing this either way you're gonna want
to weigh your item before choosing one
of these prices here's the thing this
says socks makeup and jewelry are for 75
and it says t-shirts phone sweatshirt
jeans are all nine dollars but then if
you look into the fine print it says
like the actual weight if this makes
sense they can't exactly tell you like
how much you are t-shirt weighs your
t-shirt may weigh half a pound not an
entire two pounds because the medium
option for a t-shirt is two pounds and
most t-shirts don't weigh two pounds so
a lot of my shirts especially like the
little like spring and summer ones weigh
enough for the cheapest price
however it still is pricey even for
those cheaper cheaper things so what I
would suggest and what I have been doing
recently is using PayPal shipping that
shipping usually comes out from the
majority of things to be about three
dollars maybe four dollars so what I've
been doing is I've just been going
straight to arrange my own shipping you
can enter zero dollars and then just
include the shipping price in your cost
for you can enter what I've done is just
three dollars hi what's up so I was so
confusing when I was explaining this so
that's why I'm here now so basically
this is what you should do you should
just charge for three dollars shipping
four shirts five dollars shipping four
pants or like heavier stuff but I don't
think you'll have to charge any more
expensive than five dollars unless
something's like really heavy you can go
through and kind of like estimate
yourself on PayPal shipping you can put
in a different couple weights to kind of
get some estimates on shipping costs of
that then in deep hop you can put that
estimate in and just charge for that and
just charge for that cost for example I
estimate that the majority of my shirts
are going to be at most three dollars
shipping so I'm just gonna go through my
entire depop and just in the arrange
shipping I'm just gonna put a flat rate
for every single shirt of three dollars
and that way I know a I might make a
dollar in there but I won't lose money
if I charge it at three dollars you
could if you wanted to literally go
through and calculate every single
shipping cost on PayPal before putting
it into depop but that's just super
time-consuming I think you're totally
fine just estimating that's super
confusing and I hope it made sense cuz
it I editing this I was I was like this
this this was an accurate representation
of how I felt and I was editing so
okay I love you back to the video like
multi orders shipping kind of like
hidden in the PayPal website but just
search up like multi order shipping this
is really nice because PayPal is
actually linked to your deep up so that
orders that you've made will already be
loaded in once they come in and then you
just click Add I'm shipping this thing
this lovely uh fine to a customer
anytime you get a package
save it save your packages you would
lose a lot more money if you were buying
these every single time you need it to
ship it would also be so much less
sustainable and stuff I know some depop
sellers like get like like customized
ones of these but honestly I feel like
that's just such a waste and just really
unsustainable and not cool so I'm gonna
pop this baby in here here's my scale on
the very first thing I'm gonna do is I'm
gonna weigh it
[Music]
PayPal unfortunately it does not take
decimals so you just have to round up so
the six point three ounces is three
dollars and 22 cents which is pretty
good so now I'm just gonna press review
and pay then you have your tracking ID
so I like to copy paste the tracking ID
right from there and then text it to
myself so that I can copy paste it into
Depot so I'm gonna go print this label
and I will be right back I've printed my
shipping label put it on like so now I
have my package my shipping leave I have
my package my shipping label is attached
on the other side when I get depop
packages my favorite sellers and the
ones I like leave the best reviews for
are the ones who like write little
customized notes or even put in
something fun like stickers or something
so what I like to do is I just have like
patterned paper that I keep in my eat
pop area use my scissors to like cut out
a little
and then on the other side I just write
something then I have all of these clips
that I never wear so recently I've been
including like a clip or two in their
bundle it's just cute and will really
like brighten their day and just really
give your shop a good reputation and as
you're growing your deep pop shop you
want to like have a good reputation I'm
just gonna seal it up now and it's ready
to go
I really just quickly wanted to show you
all like my pops area in my room I think
especially if you start growing your
deep pop shop and you're getting like
continuous orders like every single week
you probably want to start like having
an area for your stuff so this entire
box right here it's like comes up to my
hips you can see how big it is has all
my deep pop clothing in it that has been
listed and now I need to keep until it
gets sold
if stock doesn't sell like after like
six and a half months I'll just take it
out of this box and donate it because if
it hasn't sold yet it probably won't on
this shelf right here I have X shoes and
like accessories like bags and stuff
belts up there is just like an extra
thing of clothes that couldn't fit down
there this shelf is up top has nothing
to do with my deep up but this one is
pretty important so I have some this is
still like only a fraction of shipping
items I keep my where here it's
important you keep tape I have scissors
and a pen in here and I have the paper
for the little notes in here as well I
have the bag of whatever look I have the
bag of like whatever I'm
handing out at the moment at the moment
it's these clips but in the past it's
been like butterfly clips I've done
stickers before another really good
thing to have is a measuring tape this
one I just randomly found around my
house but that's super important because
often times people will message you
questions about measurements is this
like a construction one I have like a
one that you can wrap around somewhere
but I don't know where it is but that is
the optimal choice and and that's this
area alright everyone so I'm gonna go
mail this package now it's time for me
to bounce like a bunny I love you guys
thank you so much for watching this
video I hope this is helpful I love you
Pixies have an amazing rest of your day
go outside more and I'll see you next
time
[Music]
