I like your long videos. Often I will watch your video twice ! The lonely thing is part of it but you help me to declutter and organize. I am retired but thinking that maybe I could sell my things (clothes and books mostly) on ebay. I don't know but in the meantime I am getting rid of the junk and organizing the good stuff. So we will see. I want to live smaller with no clutter is my immediate goal. So thanks for your help with that 😊
I am doing exactly what you are thinking about doing pre retirement. Its a ton of work but it will be worth it when I am decluttered. The things that sell the worst for me are books. I am a bit disgusted with myself for thinking I needed all this stuff and not thinking about the challenge of getting rid of it.
I saw a lady post today on Facebook asking where to take books coz the op shops weren’t accepting them so I messaged her and told her I sell second hand books and she was so excited to hear that someone could use them! I picked them up straight away and she said her mother in law also has a big lot of I was interested 🙌🏻
@backfromburnout just something to keep in mind, but the UA-cam algorithm seemingly gets funky if you mix content styles (like long form videos). Could be a good idea to post longer videos on a second channel :)
@@travishandcock1211 hahaha that is true, I can just make a playlist and have her videos on repeat but I do enjoy seeing a new video from Mel pop up on my feed too 😅
I just love watching your videos! I find you so refreshing and authentic; thank you for that. I consistently rewatch your videos as I'm working on my own death pile.
Mel, Tom is right, we would love a video that long! I think mostly just you speeding through whatever you are doing, asmr style and nipping in to chat here and there!
Your videos are good motivation for not just other resellers, but for any of us who need to get stuff done. Most homes have "death piles" - cluttered closets, garages, etc. - that we intend to clean out and reorganize, but it is easy to not get going on it. Watching you work away is good motivation to get going! I'm glad your business has rebounded from the pause and that you are moving books and making sales.
Feel compelled to comment on all the quality content you've been putting out recently combined with running your book business and everything else you must have going on. Not flirting at all, but you also look in great shape. You're clearly a high achiever juggling it all. It is very motivating to see although it does make me feel kind of lazy in comparison! Bravo to you.
I have been getting things ready to go into a booth this week and I have been neglecting my listings. This video came on again so I was sitting here watching and taking a break. You started talking about being consistent in your listings and I thought oh my gosh she's talking straight to me. So I got my hiney up, went into the office, and started listing jewelry. I have a ton of jewelry, but had not started listing so I took that opportunity to sit and rest while taking pictures and listing. Left the t v on in the living room so I could hear you talking in there. Always count on you for a boost!! ❤❤
I love all your vids, the longer the better! I'll do my work after waking up for 2 hours and then the time is mine so I watch while having my rest for that day (in bed of the couch because of illness), so you make my days less lonely 🥰
I have always been a multi taster. I listen to you whilst ordering, doing Website listing's, sewing and more. I sometimes chat back to you, just like we are having a coffee (or sneaky other drink) and forget that it is tube tube. If that is your aim, then you have nailed it my dear.❤
Mel yes super long videos great idea.and love to listen you talking.i love love your videos ,I just sit down with my tea and just watch you work.your warehouse looks amazing. ❤❤❤❤❤
You relax me with your videos,and I am happy that you have found your pases in your work.good job Mel.you have gone soo far the past three to four years and now it's time to get your life on track and bee happy.❤❤❤❤❤
Personally I would NOT be into a four hour long video. But I’m sure many people would be. Personally, I really love that videos that are 30-40 mins maximum. . But any content that you put out is great so just keep doing what you’re doing and it’s good to see you back on UA-cam again regularly.
Loved the motivational talk today. I needed that. I’m just a part time seller selling mostly stuff i don’t need or want anymore but I do have a small death pile because I’ve been a little lazy.
Love super long work with me videos ❤ talk has much as you like. I'm happy either way. I love watching them before I start working from home for motivation ❤
Mel my friend, of course, a 4 hr. video would be awesome! I am sure many of your friends would watch it. Glad to see your sales are on a upward swing! That is motivating indeed. Great to see your smiling again! Blessings
You and Tech are my favorite resellers on UA-cam. I learn so much from both of you and find your videos so motivating. Please keep up the great content. Your friend from Florida! - Lisa
This is the year I'm fully committing and have a 5 year target to generate enough for a home. I have set myself a daily schedule but also forcing myself to be disciplined so I have to list everything that can be listed before I source. No deathpile allowed when I live in a very small flat.
Found your videos recently and I am really enjoying them. I am a fairly new reseller in the US and have learned a lot from you already. I just hate that I cannot help you in the videos where you were tired and overwhelmed. You are such a hard worker. Keep up your hard work! Always wanted to visit Australia hope to sometime soon.
The best advice is that listing is not always what we feel like doing but is going to increase sales . I work a part time job and do reselling so listing on my day off my normal job is not always what I’m looking forward to do but is probably most beneficial
I love your videos - whatever the length. 🙂 still a ‘newbie’ with only 3 years of reselling, so always learning. Thanks for the tip on wearing white while photographing. That’s been my hardest part of learning and getting good pictures.
Now I can get back to work. 😂😂😂 just kidding glad to see your store back up and running. Thanks for all your videos. Wishing you a great 2025 sales year….
YES, Mel! Please do the long video! Not talking the entire time but maybe a few bits here and there when you take a break! I will watch/listen to the entire thing while I putter around doing chores all evening
Love the idea of asmr video! It would be a motivator for me to get busy and list! Even the 45-50+ minute videos, are helping to motivate me, also great advice how to grow my business, as I am a new reseller. So keep it up please!
I am not a reseller but love your videos so I crochet or knit blankets or walk on my treadmill while watching. Long videos are great as is your content. Hello from London, Ontario. 🇨🇦
Loved the video as always. I do miss seeing Tom. Atleast we got to hear him on this one lol . The pick and pack videos i really like and your thrifting ones i love when you and tom go thrifting.
PS: l love your pick and pack videos, i'm like a sponge learning so much from you. and i thank you for sharing your experience with us! much appreciated.
Thanks for the video Mel. Thanks to you I think when I retire in five months I think I will sell books part time. You have inspired me to take a second look at doing it. 😊 Love and well wishes from the states.
It has been so interesting watching your journey through this move. Thank you for sharing the roller coaster of emotions- it was so relatable. It must feel so great to be using your new space and be done with the move- all the best for a successful year.
I live in a small town in Louisiana and I met a man here visiting from Sydney. I said oh! I have a friend from Australia, and then I corrected myself and was like I mean she's a UA-camr and reseller but she feels like a friend! 😂
I would love a long video!! So happy to see that the photography station is working for you 😊 Loving seeing how each station is coming together. Cant wait for that stock take and picking video 😊
@ thats ok! A slower video is good too 😊 it would be so interesting to see what listings have suddenly disappeared from e-bay for some reason and what made it through the move on the right shelf.
Ooo Mel! A 4 hour video 😮 for your own sake make it a live, I would hate to think of the added pressure to edit that one! I would probably watch it on x 2, but yes go for it! ❤
I love your long form videos they help me out so much. I am a part timer and I play your videos while I do a power hour of work (photographing/ listing) Thanks for everything and all the best. I wrote my first comment before the meat of your video but I would like a body double. I'll watch!
Yes! I would love an extra long video like that! 🎉 you could do a mix of whatever you like, talking or no talking I’ll watch it all! Or if you just comment on things here and there is good too!
I think an occasional long video like that would be great. I would say mostly not talking, but maybe when something interesting or different comes up you just chat for a minute. I like to listen while I am grading or waiting for a student to show up for office hours so it is really nice to have something where I am not going to feel like I have missed a major development if I zone out for a few minutes. Thanks for the enjoyable content!
Yes, I would definitely watch and enjoy a long video, I do watch these while I work and that includes processing, photography, listing and shipping, so I could definitely use some long ones and your work ethic and insight is inspiring.
@@backfromburnout Absolutely correct. I just never thought about my shirt color reflecting on items when photographing. I laughed when you mentioned the color yellow.. my walls are yellow in my listing room.
Love the long videos Mel - Talking or not talking is great - I recon if you did it not talking and just mentioned special things that came to mind as you worked would be great too. Strangely my book arrived while I was watching your vid 😂 - Thanks!
I enjoyed watching your photo session and hearing your goals. There are tips to be learned by watching you work, as well as motivation to work too. You are fast! And I would love to see more about your bundles. i.e. how do you decide what to put together? How you photograph bundles etc. A 4 hour video would be great but 4 hours of complete silence would be hard for me. Maybe mix it up, some silent and some talking.
Yes to a long video, I think some talking would be good but obviously not all the time. When I go onto utube yours is the first video I watch, I don’t sell books and I’m not a reseller of anything but I am so impressed with your journey. You are so motivational and such a hard worker x
I finally finished tour video (having car issues and I'm currently homeless, living in my car and my job is 35 miles away). Had a complete meltdown, did a session with my counselor and then came up with things to help me cope. I want to say... Your videos where you're packing and sometimes mention a really good sell of an item, is so peaceful to me. Sometimes I color or play a calming game while listening to your work. Four hours might be too much but an hour of listening to you just work and sometimes mention something that you want to share... that would be so awesome!!! ❤❤❤
Hi love your videos....your doing an Amazing job in getting your store back up and having so many sales in such a short time...when color may be an issue on an item I just put "color may vary" or Pics of item are Brighter or not as Bright as shown in Pics.
Loved this video it is like hanging out with a friend. I really want to get my store up and running but having to move at the end of this month it will have to wait
Mel, I think that the 4 hour work-along video might be helpful! I have to admit the videos where you show the books and their prices are videos that I definately have to pay more attention to but I have comic boxes to sort through and it might be cool to have something on in the background...!
I have ADHD too and your work habits mirror mine exactly and I would LOVE a work with me video. I live alone but I always find I work better if someone else is in the room. They don't have to talk to me...just be in the room. So, I would love your 4 hr video encouraging me in the background!
My daughter (8) always hears your videos and eavesdrops while I'm working, usually photographing or listing. Tonight I was cooking dinner watching this and had earbuds in, and she saw me mid way through and was so upset I was watching it without her! 😂
I love your videos so much. You are so real and down to earth. The good the bad and the ugly. This makes you so much more relatable and makes me feel like “hey I’m not the only one who melts down and has this issue or that one”. Thanks Mel. You are the best!
Yes (Thom is right but don’t tell him 😂) Your videos are like a friend dropping in. No words necessary if it takes you longer - even a video of you sorting like you did the other day with the odd word. it gets me motivated and working, so thank you!
I'm jumping in whilst still watching because you are giving great advice about product photography, specifically colour casting. I sell self-adhesive tapes. Cloth and vinyl tapes are fine. Reflective tapes are difficult because they look really dull on photos unless you shine a light on them at an angle when they are so selective they blow the exposure to bits. But the hardest of all my tapes to photograph are my shiny metallic mirror tapes! They are actually mirrors in pretty colours. No matter where I try to stand, where I position the tripod and how I angle the camera, we all appear in the photo somewhere! It's a nightmare. I've never managed to do it successfully unless I stand to the side and then the photos don't match the style of the rest of the tapes in the shop. As for you anti-fatigue mat, it's quite small. I have two of them at my packing and work tables. But they are 3-4 times the size of yours, I can walk from side to side on them to get at different areas of the bench. Perhaps you need a couple of bigger mats? I'm also noticing how much you are leaning and bending to take the photos. You would be better off if you could raise that table up a bit. A stack of books under the legs? Or some risers. Take care of your back. Mine is currently not in a good place and it's really slowing me down to almost stop as I wait for the results of a MRI scan. Love your channel. I find your willingness to be so open about what you are doing really refreshing and motivational. Also, you have such a pretty voice.
I am a very niched down reseller and can see myself branching out when I retire. Watching resellers like you and Kevin give me ideas for retirement. So thank you!
Long videos are fun. You is have good choice in music. You can break it up withe a little chat and a long work session? ❤ I listen to you and clean house or sew. 🤗
I love all your videos of all types. Long, short, talking, time lapse. I would love a tour video once the little office is complete as well. Maybe an inventory video? I would like to see how you’re able to sort by SKU for inventory of each shelf.
Same as you, I need silence to upload my items or else I slow down. I can follow you only in a short amount of time, otherwise I do not get my work done. Like you, I move around too much for that and I have to stop watching. So proud of your success on your return to work. It looks like a much easier work setup.
I love all your videos. I love the variety of content you provide. Sometimes its background so I can get stuff done. And sometimes its legit entertainment in my down time. Just depends. I think a 4 hour vid would be much easier for you if it was no talking. But as your fans, we will like it no matter what you decide to do. Also, you piqued my curiosity. What is the weirdest thing you have found in a book?
I like your long videos. Often I will watch your video twice ! The lonely thing is part of it but you help me to declutter and organize. I am retired but thinking that maybe I could sell my things (clothes and books mostly) on ebay. I don't know but in the meantime I am getting rid of the junk and organizing the good stuff.

I am a bit disgusted with myself for thinking I needed all this stuff and not thinking about the challenge of getting rid of it.
It doesn't matter how long your videos are. I'm just glad when I see you've posted. If I must choose, longer is better 😊
Thank you!

Yes to the 4 hour work with me type vid. It helps me focus when I'm working on my listings.
Thank you!
If you made a long 4 hour "work with me" video, I would find it so motivating and would make me want to be proactive at the same time.
Thank you for the feedback!
@backfromburnout just something to keep in mind, but the UA-cam algorithm seemingly gets funky if you mix content styles (like long form videos). Could be a good idea to post longer videos on a second channel :)
You could watch this one 4 times 😂😝

loving how many uploads we have gotten from you!!!

I agree she is very inspirational for sure.
I appreciate that, thank you. It can be hard to juggle all the eBay work with the UA-cam work but I'm trying my best to be consistent.
I would mess up talking and working. Love that you are gifted with this. I have to have solitude when working and zero distractions.

I find it lonely creating my digital designs and love listening to you started yesterday watching and been so motivated thank you.

Yes i like long videos to listen to when im working. The photography tips were especially helpful today. Thanks.

Any bit of white light to help bounce it around and brighten our photos is good!

I have ADHD too and your work habits mirror mine exactly and I would LOVE a work with me video. I live alone but I always find I work better if someone else is in the room. They don't have to talk to me...just be in the room. So, I would love your 4 hr video encouraging me in the background!
Thank you!
My daughter (8) always hears your videos and eavesdrops while I'm working, usually photographing or listing. Tonight I was cooking dinner watching this and had earbuds in, and she saw me mid way through and was so upset I was watching it without her! 😂
Naaaaw that’s so sweet! Tell her I said hi!!!
My 8 yr old also loves your vids. He doesn't watch them all but he asks for updates. And loves your accent as well.

@ I love this!
I love your videos so much. You are so real and down to earth. The good the bad and the ugly. This makes you so much more relatable and makes me feel like “hey I’m not the only one who melts down and has this issue or that one”. Thanks Mel. You are the best!
Yes! I put this video on and did my lesson planning! She’s a great motivator 😊
Yea long viedo way to go thats good company while I list I like that idea bring it on Mel 😊
Thank you!
I played this while I was working. Helps my adhd brain too 🙂
Thank you!
Super long video please please please. ❤ whatever works for you. Silent would work for me for sure.
I love your videos and enjoy your stories and u keep me company
Thank you!
Yes (Thom is right but don’t tell him 😂) Your videos are like a friend dropping in. No words necessary if it takes you longer - even a video of you sorting like you did the other day with the odd word. it gets me motivated and working, so thank you!
Mel u are kickin it with your sales!
U got this and never ever doubt yourself!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to share!!!!
Thank you!
It would be cute to put a cork board up above your work station and collect a few things you find in books, such as book marks, on your cork board.
4 hours a bit of both would be great! Some intro talk and some dedicated work. I really like to work when you work.
Thank you for the feedback!
Tonight, I've been listening to you while I make dinner for the family and watching when I have a moment 😊
Thank you! That's perfect!
Great chat! I look forward to a bundle video. Maybe Mills and Boon 😂
I'm jumping in whilst still watching because you are giving great advice about product photography, specifically colour casting. I sell self-adhesive tapes. Cloth and vinyl tapes are fine. Reflective tapes are difficult because they look really dull on photos unless you shine a light on them at an angle when they are so selective they blow the exposure to bits. But the hardest of all my tapes to photograph are my shiny metallic mirror tapes! They are actually mirrors in pretty colours. No matter where I try to stand, where I position the tripod and how I angle the camera, we all appear in the photo somewhere! It's a nightmare. I've never managed to do it successfully unless I stand to the side and then the photos don't match the style of the rest of the tapes in the shop.
As for you anti-fatigue mat, it's quite small. I have two of them at my packing and work tables. But they are 3-4 times the size of yours, I can walk from side to side on them to get at different areas of the bench. Perhaps you need a couple of bigger mats? I'm also noticing how much you are leaning and bending to take the photos. You would be better off if you could raise that table up a bit. A stack of books under the legs? Or some risers. Take care of your back. Mine is currently not in a good place and it's really slowing me down to almost stop as I wait for the results of a MRI scan.
Love your channel. I find your willingness to be so open about what you are doing really refreshing and motivational. Also, you have such a pretty voice.
I am a very niched down reseller and can see myself branching out when I retire. Watching resellers like you and Kevin give me ideas for retirement. So thank you!
Long videos are fun. You is have good choice in music. You can break it up withe a little chat and a long work session? ❤ I listen to you and clean house or sew. 🤗
Thank you!
I love all your videos of all types. Long, short, talking, time lapse. I would love a tour video once the little office is complete as well.
Maybe an inventory video? I would like to see how you’re able to sort by SKU for inventory of each shelf.
Same as you, I need silence to upload my items or else I slow down. I can follow you only in a short amount of time, otherwise I do not get my work done. Like you, I move around too much for that and I have to stop watching. So proud of your success on your return to work. It looks like a much easier work setup.
Yes to a body doubling video! Talking here and there is good!
I am loving all those new videos ❤
Thank you!
I love your long videos. I wish you would do more of them. I have tried to start my eBay store but I’m a little nervous to take the plunge any advice.
Loveeeee the long videos!!
I love all your videos. I love the variety of content you provide. Sometimes its background so I can get stuff done. And sometimes its legit entertainment in my down time. Just depends. I think a 4 hour vid would be much easier for you if it was no talking. But as your fans, we will like it no matter what you decide to do. Also, you piqued my curiosity. What is the weirdest thing you have found in a book?
Great stuff Mel, You're getting back on track. Top stuff !!
