    Good sales and great tips! You hit the nail on the head saying to focus on what you can control, especially your input. Listing, listing, listing. That’s what drives sales. Thanks for sharing Josh!

    I have fallen in the category of comparing myself to others a lot in the past. Great advice is to compare yourself to yourself. I would get down on myself by just scrolling IG or watching YT.

    • @Josh-Kim
      @Josh-Kim  3 роки тому

      I definitely understand. It's something I have to remind myself constantly, because I think it's only natural for us to try and compare ourselves to other people lol 😭 Appreciate you watching Dan!

    Looks to me like you are already doing very well with numbers. It’s easy to get caught up comparing yourself to others, even yourself with past (or expected) results. Social media does make it worse. One thing to remember is those that share are such a low % that they can never be considered the norm. And that’s expecting that they reveal all including what would make them have less positive results and nothing is inflated. This business is a grind. Easy enough to make $$$ but to be consistent, you need to be also. Always ups and downs so even skip those comparisons, just keep up with that input. For actual numbers, under a perfect world with 100% sales, you must list as much as you wish to sell. So for $1000 a month and to have weekends and holidays off, you better be listing $50 a day average, every day. Personally I feel the normal eBay seller with the normal assortment of goods needs to have a base inventory $$$ listed that is 3-5 times the wished for amount of $$$ sales. I usually think it takes about a year of full activity to get there. If shooting for a few months, you better be listing twice the desired amount daily. For $1000/month, that’s $100 a work day. When starting out, sales can’t always be taken as normal. People put their best items first which have higher prices and sell thru rates often, besides the fact of eBay being inconsistent with newly active accounts. Goals are great, but just put your emphasis on input and over time the output will be there. But my personal opinion is not to expect or depend on certain numbers until a fair amount of time has passed. The same as expected with most types of business

    Your 3rd point was spot on; wish I could walk into a store and find the crazy good electronics and kitchen things that Tim Osborn of Osborn to Thrift does, but no such store like that in my area. Would love to sell Patagonia, have yet to find a piece. BUT I’ve done well with vintage housewares at three vintage events this year. You go with what you can source, and there is something out there anyone can make a profit on!

    Josh I think with only 500 things listed it’s not enough to try and get $10,000.00 a month. Daily listing of at least 10+ items is a start to get noticed. Perhaps invest in a bread and butter item that would sell each day. I wish you tons of luck 👍👍👍👍👍💰💰👍👍👍💰💰💰

    Well said friend: I’d like to throw in : don’t get upset when a item sells immediately and you beat yourself up because you sold it too cheap. A sale is a sale and move on to the next sale. 2) the list more get more sales theory is not exact. List quality over quantity. 3) run day long promotion sales to clear out old stock…….

    • @Josh-Kim
      @Josh-Kim  3 роки тому +1
