I thought it would be super fun to show

stuff to make more money when you're
selling your stuff online to make more
money it really is a win-win situation
because you're bringing an extra income
and then you're also decluttering your
space and making it more clean so I'm
really excited to show you guys how I
sell my stuff for extra money but in the
meantime I just want to let you guys
know that I just filmed the intro video
for my new small youtubers success
YouTube channel I'm so excited about it
if you guys have been following along my
channel for a little while now you'll

where every single week I would be
uploading a video all about how to grow
your YouTube channel I have life style

that channel so if you are somebody who
really enjoyed the small youtuber
success series you can head over to that
channel I'll have the link down in the
description and then you could subscribe
and you can have your own channel for
all youtube tips
okay guys so just for the sake of making
this video really easy to understand and
breaking down information I'm gonna be
going through steps when it comes to
selling your stuff online so the first
step is what stuff do you have to sell
and what stuff would be good to sell
online well you would actually be
surprised what you can sell online when
I was moving from university back to my
home province of Nova Scotia I had to
get rid of everything the only things
that I could bring with me was what
could fit in my tiny little car so I
became a pro at selling all of my stuff
online and I literally sold stuff that I
never thought I could sell but I didn't
want to just get rid of it and I knew I
paid a lot of money for it so I was like
oh well maybe I should try and get some
of my money back so what I would do is I
would sell like as much stuff as I could
and I was so surprised at what I could
sell one of the things I sold was a
drying rack from Walmart that I think I
paid like ten dollars for and although I
only sold it for five dollars I still
got some of that money back which was
really cool I even sold some old decor
items that I had picked up from a thrift
store years before I think I paid like
399 for them and then when the person
came to pick up the items that they had
saw online they actually offered me like
$8 so I even made a profit which was
really cool so you can actually make
money by selling your stuff online you
just have to know like how to do it so
what I recommend doing is going through
every room in your house and kind of
making little categories of things that
you can sell so what usually sells
really well online is clothing
electronics sporting workout equipment
kitchen appliances and also furniture so
you can kind of look around your house
to see what kind of stuff in these
categories you have and then just pick
it out in your mind or you can set it
aside and then know that you're gonna
take pictures of that and then try to
sell it online the next step for when
you're selling your stuff online is to
choose actually where you're gonna sell
your stuff so what websites and what I
recommend for clothing is eBay deep hop
and Poshmark I literally love Poshmark
and I was so excited when they launched
in Canada because up until this year we
didn't have Poshmark here which was so
tragic because so many people were
making great sales on Poshmark
and the way my style works is that
people on Poshmark are more likely to
buy the clothes that I lie
so if your style is more like vintage
and like edgy then I would definitely
try and sell on Poshmark because that's
just the type of people that gravitate
towards that website and you can also
sell on eBay - but Poshmark is
definitely more my style and I make more
sales on that also if you guys want to
check out my pockmark closet I have it
linked down below if you're in Canada
and this is not sponsored by Poshmark at
all I just literally love that website
it's so easy to make extra money off of
your clothes and another thing that I
really like about Poshmark is that they
include the shipping in the rate for you
and when somebody purchases one of your
clothing items you just print out a
shipping label and put it on the package
and send it off there's no like trying
to estimate what the shipping would be
and then trying to add that to the
charge and then you get to the post
office and they tell you that the
shipping is actually like twenty dollars
when you thought it would only be ten
Poshmark is really straightforward when
it comes to that because I could never
figure it out when I was trying to sell
on depop so just for convenience
Poshmark is really awesome so yeah if
you're trying to sell your clothes depop
eBay and Poshmark
are definitely the way to go so for all
of your other items I would definitely
recommend selling on Kijiji if you're
here in Canada or also on Facebook
marketplace or Facebook buy and sell
groups so like I said when I sold all of
my stuff when I was leaving University I
used Facebook buy and sell and I sold
everything through that and I found it
really convenient and really easy
because you can just use the messenger
app people can message you super easily
and then you can just like keep track of
everything that you're selling and I
didn't have any problems with that I
would just message people through the
app and then they would come and pick it
up another really great idea for selling
your stuff online that I've seen other
people do is create a Facebook group
with maybe like a couple of other
friends and then you have kind of like
an online gurage or yard sale where you
invite all of your friends to the group
and then your other friends invite their
friends and then you have a whole bunch
of people in this Facebook group that
are looking at your stuff seeing if they
want to buy it so that's another really
great way to sell some of your extra
stuff just having like an online yard
sale so step number three in this video
I'm gonna be telling you guys actually
how to list your items so that you know
you're gonna make sales when I first
started selling stuff online I couldn't
get anybody to buy my stuff and I didn't
know why but it was because I wasn't
the right things in the ads and I wasn't
making the ads look good but I've kind
of have a little like strategy of how to
make your ad it look really good so that
people actually want to buy your stuff
so the first thing that's the most
important is pictures you want your
pictures to look really nice almost like
they're out of a magazine so that people
know that they're getting a really good
product what I recommend when you're
trying to take pictures is put the item
that you're trying to photograph against
a blank wall that way there's not a
whole bunch of clutter around it and
people can actually focus on what
they're trying to look at and then also
take the pictures next to a window so
that you have nice natural lighting in
your photo I've seen people post
pictures of stuff for sale on Facebook
groups and they have say like a t-shirt
laid on their bed I don't even know if
there's like any lights on in the
bedroom the shirt is all wrinkled and
you can't even like see anything in the
picture and I'm like man they are never
gonna make a sale so make sure you don't
make that mistake try and hang up your
clothing item against a blank wall in
your window and I know you'll make more
sales my next tip is to create a really
detailed description when you're listing
your item online for sale so for example
if I was trying to sell this shirt I
wouldn't just say white short-sleeved
shirt for sale because that doesn't
really give the buyer enough information
they don't want to buy it if they don't
know actually what they're purchasing so
I might say white short sleeve shirt
from forever 21 with details on the side
fabric is really light and airy perfect
for summertime so you can see how that's
a much better description and people
feel more confident in buying that item
this next tip is so so important when
you're trying to make sales online and
that is to price right if I bought this
shirt for twenty dollars I'm not gonna
sell it for nineteen I've been wearing
it for a little while it is secondhand
and people don't want to buy something
secondhand that they can get for the
same price as new at the store it just
doesn't make sense so that's why you
want to price your items right and if
you price it really good it even makes
you a little bit more competitive in the
buy and sell groups and people are gonna
want to buy your stuff because it has a
really good price so just to give you
guys a better idea I keep using this
shirt as an example but if I paid twenty
dollars for this shirt I would
definitely sell it for no more than
fifteen probably only like ten or
thirteen dollars that would be a really
good price that would make you a sale
the next if I have for you guys when
you're trying to make money by selling
yours
it's the list in your description why
you're selling the item so nobody wants
to buy an item if the person that's
selling it thinks it's ugly or they
don't want it anymore they want to know
that they're stilling use for the item
and the item still has value there's
just a reason why you have to give it up
so what I always say is that I'm moving
and I can't take the item or maybe I
don't use the item as much as I would
like to but I still love it
that way when people see your ad they
know that it's still a really great item
that they should have and that you still
want but you just can't use it anymore

those tips I am so ready to see you make
