How I Made $20k in less than 6 Months Selling Sh*t on the blog

Did I get your attention? It’s not a joke. I’m a firm believer in “selling things to get the things you want.” I made over $20k in less than 6 months with some extra hustle and focus. I’m sharing my favorite selling apps and tricks I’ve used to make and save that extra dough below:

How I Made $20k in less than 6 Months

Sell ALL Your Uglies

Look in your closet and take that ugly sh*t out of your closet immediately. I’m not saying to forgo donating some of it, but anything with value, you need to sell. As Marie Kondo says, if it doesn’t give you joy, deuces ✌️. Can’t remember when you’ve worn it? Bye bye 👋. You’d be amazed by the things people will buy. One woman’s ‘trash’ truly is another’s treasure and I’m talking from your stuff, to your husbands, to that ugly piece of furniture that has somehow traveled with you from college that you hate. Purge yourself of all of it.

Let’s Get Specific -Where to Sell

When it comes to selling clothes/accessories at all price points, I swear by Tradesy and Poshmark and I always post both at the same time – more exposure can never hurt, right? I paid for my ‘Chanel wallet on a chain’ with the money I made on these sites. Nearly all my shoes I buy from selling a ton of things and purchasing brand new or worn one time. For selling furniture, kids stuff, etc, Let Go and Facebook Marketplace are insanely effective. I’ve sold everything from workout equipment to couches to baby bounce chairs – you name it, I’ve moved it.

Time Block

Taking pictures, uploading photos, adding descriptions sucks. I’m not going to sugarcoat it, but I recommend – if you can – to have one person take the pictures and the other person can upload them to all the desired channels. I’ve even gone as far as hired a task rabbit just to hold me accountable and take the pictures for me so I don’t loose momentum. I block off 1-2 hours a month to do this and it pays off.

Sell Towards A Goal

Price things to sell as they are literally collecting dust just sitting there. $10 here, $15 there, really add up and it’s better out then taking up space. I like to sell with a goal in mind meaning I sell things to buy other things I really want/need. How are you going to get to that trip to Italy you’ve wanted? That pair of shoes you’ve been eyeing? You’ve got to purge to get what you want, so buckle down and make it happen.

I have other money saving tips and tricks, should I share them with you? What apps do you like to sell on?

Till next time-
