hey guys welcome back to my channel I
hope you're having a great day today's
video is something that I wanted to do
for a very long time and that is how to
sell clothes or any items online like a
pro these tips can help anyone out most
of the things that I sold was clothes
shoes and unused makeup but you can
still take these tips into consideration
or when you are selling your own items
online so the platforms that I will be
talking about is Poshmark
and Macari those are the platforms that
I use and I made over $4,000 in like six
months I was saying because I had a lot
of stuff I was a little horror back then
so I had quite a few things to sell so
anyways you guys I really hope this
video helps you guys out on selling your
stuff that you do not no longer need
anymore or you know useful so if it does
make sure throw thumbs up down below do
not forget to subscribe if you are new
here and also leave a comment down below
if these tips have helped you out with
selling your used items online so
without further ado let's get straight
into the video so when it comes to
selling the number one thing you want to
do is make sure the item that you're
selling is washed cleaned and make sure
it looks presentable and if it doesn't
look presentable if some if you won't
buy it the way it looks then what makes
you think that someone else is going to
buy it so what I did when I was telling
all my clothes and my shoes I cleaned my
shoes up really nice I wiped them down I
washed the clothes and I also steamed or
iron them I don't remember back that I
think I earn them because now I have a
steamer but whatever you guys want to do
iron steam you want to make them look
like they are new again and there
someone else is able to wear them not
just that you it's kind of mean to sell
things that are not washed or that are
really really worn out because I don't
know I just feel like you're trying to
make money right so you don't want to do
business it's just not cool and that
doesn't reflect on the items that you're
selling actually reflects on you so if
your items are all trash like like
they're literally or not they're all
worn out the sweaters that you're
selling or have holes underneath the
armpits and you didn't show that it's
not going to come back to the clothes
it's gonna come back to you and no one
ever is ever gonna want to buy an item
off you again the next thing that I want
to tell you guys is to take
aesthetically pleasing photos of your
items what I used to do back then is I
would have a hanger I would hang up the
shirt on the hanger I would put it
either somewhere like on my door in my
old bedroom I had a little hook on the
door I'd put the shirt on the the hanger
on the door and I made sure it was all
nice looking and I made sure I did this
in daylight so it had really great
lighting I use my iPhone back then I
will link down below an app that helped
me enhance the photo a little bit with
when it comes to the lighting to work
with the lighting so I'll link that down
below it's actually called photo Wonder
and I've been using the app since like
2013 I actually use it for my thumbnails
for YouTube but if you guys want me to
do a whole in-depth video on how I make
my thumbnails or stuff like that leave a
comment down below but before I did
YouTube and things like that
I actually used that app to sell clothes
so it definitely helped me make my dark
photo looked brighter and vibrant and it
made the color of the shirt actually
stick out more so you definitely want to
download photo editing apps to enhance
the colors of your items because yes you
guys can see me with this bright red
shirt right now only because I am using
a iOS camera so it kind of has like an
HD effect but if I was to record back
onto my iPhone the camera quality
wouldn't pick up the brightness of his
sweater so the camera qualities are all
rights with the iPhone I think they're
getting better but they are not what you
see so it's not like reality
yet another thing that I can say on in
order to sell things really fast is do
not be afraid to make bundle deals I
remember on Poshmark people would make
bundle deals like they will add things
in their car and they'll ask you alright
if you're selling each shirt for $20 and
someone asked you can I buy both of your
sweaters for 35 or 31 I would say yes
because you can't be afraid to make
deals because you have to keep in mind
you're not going to get money you're not
going to get money back at what you pay
for say you paid $30 for the sweater and
you're selling it online for 35 you it
just doesn't work like that or if you
think that it's gonna work like that
you're gonna get really disappointing
with selling things because I was like
that in the beginning and nothing was
selling until I started having these
little um I made basically my Poshmark
in my Macari I don't have those accounts
anymore because I don't have anything to
sell cuz I'm a minimalist now but I
would have basically it was like a store
that I would have Wednesdays was my sale
days and I would put everything half off
and things just sort of flying out every
time I got a deal like every time
someone offered me a deal I would say
yes or I would also negotiate as well so
do not be afraid to negotiate deals or
to make a deal during the week when it
comes to selling your items where
they're having a BOGO Tuesday sale or
you know just make it fun you know and
do not be afraid to lose out so in your
mind you're probably thinking well I'm
gonna lose out on $20 well so you can
think of it this way if you lose out on
$20 for the BOGO sale you just did what
if that person tells someone to go to
your store and someone else go to your
little closet online you're most likely
to gain 28 customers so I'd rather gain
20 customers than gained $20 because you
never know what those 20 customers are
gonna buy another thing that I can
suggest you guys this is not something
you have to do but this is what I did
back then is that I ordered all the same
packaging for my things and I did it
with a little discount on line because
when you order in bulks it's a lot
cheaper so what I did was even though I
was selling like crazy
I decided that I'm not going to put
things in random boxes or to ship them
out I ended up purchasing I ditched the
tape I ditched the shipping labels all
that stuff I end up purchasing the
what's it called like those shipping
bags and they were in a hot pink color
and they come with a strip of tape on it
already so I just peeled that part and
folded it and also I changed my shipping
labels to sticker shipping labels back
then I had a printer and I had like a
whole setup going cuz I had a lot of
things to sell when I was beginning my
like minimalist journey so ordering
things in bulks if you know if you are
selling like crazy ordering the same
packaging for things is it looks a
little bit more aesthetically pleasing
and it looks like you care not only to
make the money but you care about the
customer and also I would add in a few
little touches I would make my own
little thank-you cards or you can go to
the dollar store and buy little tiny
thank-you cards they have and I put like
shop again or come back again and I
ended up having I used to have an
earring obsession back then and I had I
bought in like a hundred to five hundred
pairs of earrings from shop miss a
because they were a dollar and I ended
up cutting them out of the little boxes
so it was like one pair in a little box
and I end up putting it into each
package for a free gift and that
actually boosted up my ratings like
crazy so just adding a personal touch
whether it's a thank you know a little
free gift for saying thank you for
purchasing from your closet they really
appreciate a customers really appreciate
when you put thoughts into the package
in and all that stuff and also I'm gonna
link down below on where I bought my
little sticky things hopefully I can
find them I know it was a couple years
back I did this but I did purchase them
off Amazon so I'll link it down below if
you
check it out another thing I can tell
you guys is to be your own advertiser we
live in an age where it's awesome so
where you can just post something either
on Facebook on Instagram saying shot my
closet
tagged it and bam a bunch of people are
gonna see it and probably shop your
closet so you can also do word by word
of mouth where you can tell people at
work people at school and maybe people
will know someone that's looking for a
new outfit and you have something that
they're looking for and then BAM it's
probably sold so that's exactly what I
did I told everyone I worked that I was
selling all my stuff and they didn't
want me to ship it to them so I actually
brought it to work and I sold I want to
say majority of my purses I sold at work
in the parking lot I had a bunch of
purses in the trunk and I just sold them
all I think I went home with like five
to six hundred dollars that day and I
had a good like fifty perished purses in
that trunk of mine so a word-of-mouth
works awesome as well so the apps that I
did sell on was Poshmark and Macari now
back then when I first started this
Macari did not charge to use their site
so I made a lot more money with Macari
than Poshmark but I did heard recently
that part
Macari does charge now which I kind of
knew that was gonna happen
but anyways those are the two sites that
I use you can also use let go or little
sites like that but I didn't use those
sites because I didn't want to meet up
with random people I kind of feel more
safe when it's just shipping so it
depends on your situation and what you
feel comfortable doing but the sites
that I use and I made the money from was
from Poshmark and Macari so please keep
that in mind I didn't use anything else
but those two sites and I did a link the
money that I got I actually linked it to
my savings account so once when it
reached like a certain amount it will go
straight into savings I didn't even look
at the amount of money I was like making
because I was so focused on just selling
and being a really well seller to the
customers and caring a lot that at the
end of the month that's when I would
check how much I made and I was blown
away that
this is what kicked off my savings but
anyways you guys I really hope you
enjoyed this video and I really hope
this helps you out with selling I wish I
had my profiles to show you how I did it
back then but I have nothing to show you
because I did this like three four years
ago and it was an awesome journey it was
it was the one thing that actually was
one of my main hobbies I was like a
hustler back then and till this day I
feel that the more dedication and the
more work you put into something the
more you will receive so don't just take
a picture of something and post on the
Internet to think that it's gonna sell
you need to take your time with it you
need to edit it you need to try your
best to care even though it's not an
item that you don't want anymore
so anyways you guys everything I said
I'm gonna try to link it down below I'm
gonna link down the editing out I'm
gonna delete down the apps that I did it
sound lon and also what I use to ship
the items out in and that is about it so
that's all I have for you guys I know it
was a very simple video but that is how
simple I kept it with selling things if
you guys are having trouble selling and
this helped you out please let me know
down below so anyways you guys I will
catch you in the next video
