Exactly why I won't do promoted listings on poshmark and also because their search sucks. If they really want to increase sales, fix their search would be a great start.
Keep patience with the pup. Hes learning and so are you. Good luck with your new friend.
I haven’t changed my shipping and the labels still come out ground advantage. Love chatty work with me. It is a great thing to listen to while I’m processing items. Thanks so much!
Same here
I can appreciate what you said that you feel part of reselling is monotonous for you. I left my good paying 9-5 job 5 years ago to be a full time reseller and I’m as excited about reselling now as I was 5 years ago. There parts of it that I don’t love like steaming so I don’t only if I really have to also packing sold items not my favorite thing to do, but the freedom and stress free life I live I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I travel a lot and love when I get home and can go thrifting and getting back to my business and I’m 5 years in.
We had foster dogs so went through lots of this. With barking, training the “quiet” command and “look at me” were the only things that worked consistently. It feels good to bark so they won’t stop without training.
Jumping, make sure never gets rewarded with any attention or touch. When he jumps, turn your back and remove yourself if he’s too aggressive about it until he calms down. Teach him to “sit” instead and then pet him. When our dogs sit, it’s their way to ask for attention and we always reward it. Even touching dogs to put them back onto the ground or yelling at them can feel like a reward to them. Hope this helps! Highly recommend a trainer if you can, it saved us
As the owner of a 1.5 year old Belgian malinois/husky/German shepherd who I’ve had since she was 3 months, I FEEL you on the puppy/barking. I’ve come to accept that she’ll always bark to some extent - when people are outside our house or approaching, etc and I’m fine with that. What has really helped is thinking about teaching her what I want her to do *instead* of barking. I find dogs respond better to learning the preferred action rather than being scolded/told what NOT to do. They’re just doing what comes naturally. For me that meant teaching her to go to her bed and relax (taught her a place command and “settle”). Now sometimes when she’s worked up she’ll bark a few times and take herself to her bed and grumble but eventually chill.
I cried a lot when we first got her but now she’s my whole world, haha. Even though she’s still a nightmare 😅 hang in there
Also wanted to add - barking is a reinforcing behavior for dogs, so the more he’s left outside to bark and bark and bark, the more he’s going to do it because it’s fun for him! It’s so annoying but the best thing to do it have a training session when they’re having a barking fit and teach them what you’d rather them do. The more they practice a behavior the harder it’ll be to train them otherwise
I'm still in the 'crying a lot' phase with this puppy....lol
Well that was a whole lot of fun and informative content!! I appreciate how much you share about the highs and lows of reselling and real estate. Kind of fascinating. I really admire your independence too! But I do see that it must get exhausting-everything is up to YOU.
I was tickled to hear your opinions on the bins as I have recently decided to ONLY go to the bins because I tend to overspend at the thrift, and their prices are high so the ROI is lower. Also I have bins nearby and i love the treasure hunting aspect of it. But I have a full time job so the reselling is helpful cash but not critical. It’s much more of a fun hobby than an obligation. My “salary” if i had to pay myself by the hour would be 1970’s McDonalds’ wages, I suspect.
My summer was odd June was eh, July was good, August has been terrible.
For the most part my less expensive items are what sold this summer. It’s more work for less money, but if it gets someone through those months I guess that’s a good thing. I also took a lot of offers that were lower than I normally would have taken, but we’re moving 500 miles, so I was taking the cost of moving into consideration. Less inventory to move is a good thing.
Sometimes a reset is a great thing!
the bins have changed drastically in my area. it all depends on what goodwill wants to sell online, those items are grabbed before or while the bins are out. there is less of certain things, but you can still find other items
i had a lot of success following the early books and training videos of Cesar Millan aka the dog whisperer.
I just work at the front desk at an RV park, since I live in a tourist driven mountain town. Just 2 or 3 shifts a week gives me some extra cash and some social interaction, which we can miss as resellers.
We put dryer sheets in our motors in the winter to keep rodents out! So far so good ! We have done it for years! Jolene would love it!
I FEEL YOU about the bins, I used to go to the bins and load up, now I hardly go. I prefer to find higher ASP items at the regular thrift and lessen the workload and up my profits. I do love finding those amazing pieces at the bins, but it's a commitment- energetically. Sometimes I want to convince myself that listing higher dollar items, is better for the algorithm.
Oh and Posh just dropped a partial refund feature... Elevate your customer service with Partial Refunds, a new feature that gives you more control in the event your buyer is ever dissatisfied with their purchase.
Thank you so much for doing "Chatty Work With Me". Your content is fun to listening to and learn from. AND I get alot of steaming done during this :)
Barking solution - there's a thing we had to buy for ours because they don't stop, but it's basically a battery operated machine that will make a high pitched noise that distracts them from what they are barking at. It worked WONDERS for us. Ours is an egg shape, but there a bunch of them out there and even collars you can get! Might be worth a try!
Please do not get a bark collar if anybody suggest it. I think people that use those are the most cruelest...
I agree. In desperation I tried one once (and I do mean once) and the shock scared my dog so much he'd bark and then it would shock him again and he'd bark again. I don't think I used it more than 10 minutes. Never again.
they have training collars that have a vibration setting and the shock but we never had to use the shock, the vibration setting worked wonders for our dog. She actually loves the collar and when it is on she is on alert when its off she now listens to me and not just my husband they do work but again I dont use the shock setting
Ordered the Earth Breeze and I love it. Thanks for turning me on to it.
I've had a cleaning business for 36 years.
My original intention was to slowly switch over to doing reselling full time.
I'm about 2/3 cleaning 1/3 reselling right now.
I'm sooo grateful that I still have some cleaning clients.
Now that I've seen just how bad reselling can get ill never rely solely on it for my income.
I'm currently thinking about trying something else to replace my cleaning income.
💯
I do part time case management (for a nonprofit working with families & kids) along with reselling for the past 3 years. It works for me because its monthly billing so no set hours/ pay by stipend. But I dont always want to do it LOL but it allows me to do reselling and have my flexibility. I also dog/pet sit a lot!
Well the puppy may be a handful, but he is definitely cute and happy! As I got older I kind of let my dogs (I have 5) teach me some of their lessons. They are really great at unconditional love even if you aren't a snuggly person. Nice soft mention... I hope it continues on a good path. Life continues to change and you do a great job at flexing with the changes when others might actually break.
Your "soft mention" had me chuckling. LOL. Thanks for giving me something to listen to while shoving things into a storage unit. And YAY for air conditioning!!!!!
A popular method of curtailing excessive barking is teaching the “quiet” command. Use a calm, firm voice to tell your dog to be “quiet” and positively reinforce correct behavior with treats and affection. Many dogs will bark to get your attention, ask for food, or to tell you to open the door or let them out of the crate.The most successful method is positive reinforcement, which encourages the reinforced behavior. Whenever your dog is quiet and well-behaved, offer them a desired treat. Over time, your dog will learn that good things come to them when they’re not barking.Another dog training tip is to develop a calm verbal cue such as “Quiet, want a treat?” that will let your dog know that the barking is unacceptable.
Start with training sessions where you reward your dog’s quiet behavior with this cue, followed by the treat or a favorite toy.
Once your dog learns the calm verbal cue, you can use it during times of unwanted barking, such as the ring of a doorbell or the sound of other dogs barking, to prompt the quiet response (aka to stop the barking).
If your dog stops barking when they hear the cue, reward them. You should never use punishment for dog barking. Examples of punishment would be yelling, throwing objects, or trying to interrupt the barking by spraying water at your dog, making loud noises, or using citronella-spraying collars or shock collars.
A dog’s responses to pain or fear caused by punishment will only give short-term results, may cause aggression and phobias, and will lead to high levels of stress that block your dog’s ability to learn. They may even associate the pain with you as the trainer. Hope all this helps! PS Disguise Yourself - Wear big floppy hats, sunglasses, Hair Up...it might help avoid the run ins LOL. Good Luck. Don't let others determine YOUR life. Its yours - take it. If you have a run in just say, Oh Hi! So Nice to see You, hope to see you soon but we have to run....and leave.
I’m so happy for you Courtney! You have so much going for you! Thanks for the soft mention! 😉 I have a lot in common with you. Among other things, I’m a single woman and I’m very conscious of my time and money. I really appreciate your content and realness. On your storage topic - I think it’s interesting to think of your storage as cost/ sq ft. You, as the real estate professional know exactly what your price/ sq ft is for your area. It’s interesting to think what your inventory costs you in real estate. I used to live in Denver and rent out my basement, but used one whole room for inventory. I could have rented out another bedroom for a great amount. It kind of puts things in perspective, especially as you consider paring down.
You’ve probably already considered this .
On another note, just this weekend I went from one dog to two . I’m excited but also realize what a huge change this is! Yikes !
I just changed my shipping policy for First Class, super easy. I didn't have to do bulk edits. It's working fine. Thanks for all you do!
Thinking of you and hope you are doing ok with the weather!
Hi Courtney. Great discussion. As far as summer slow down, I for sure feel it. My sales are always down in the summer. I think that summer things are just so much cheaper in stores and the quality is not as mush of a big deal with those types of items than cold weather items and people may not want to pay up for tanks, shorts, flip flops and little dresses since they get trashed with the kind of use that they get at the pool and on vacations. I do well with plus size maxi dresses and swimsuits, though.
Hi Courtney! I clean houses and pet sit. I picked up reselling 3 years ago and do it PT. I put in a lot of hours (reselling) or very little hours depending on my pet sitting jobs.
Love your videos! Thanks for sharing the pups!!!
It’s so cool that you see baby deer and other wildlife. That seems like such fun.
We had deer every place in Texas; they are having rats LOL!
Thanks so much for mentioning the coordinator job. Also, you look so happy. 🙌
My summer has been ok, not wonderful, but I've also traveled more than normal and haven't been able to list everyday which I think is important. Hope Luna's epilepsy has been managed... Sorry to hear about the deer, stuff happens, I hope your dogs and sitter have an easy visit.
I have a sweet boy and a crazy girl. I was used to how mellow he was and then I got the girl who is still all puppy. She is semi-psychotic and crazy destructive sometimes, its been a bit stressful but I'm hopeful that as she gets older she'll calm down a bit. I previously had a doberman who was a terrible barker and jumper, cbd gummies for dogs helped and so did a bark collar. Best of luck with Soren!
I appreciate these videos. Thank you for mentioning the not-so- known-job…now I can’t remember the name of the job, lol I better stick to my day job :)
Rodents chew on the wires because the coating on the wires are made of soy. There are mint rodent repellant items sold on Amazon but I've also heard that dryer sheets work. Good luck with that :) I love your chatty sessions!
I think you can be more invisible in a big city .. I am from Boston Ma and nevr knew my neighbors moved to a small town in NH and they know me and I do not know them causes me anxiety
I have my real estate license and Its been in limbo since I got it. I hated my first year. My mentor was using me for sales and it was just aweful. I have been putting so much money toward my license and it going now where. I am not a sales person at all but I LOVE helping people find their home. I was a showing agent only for a while and I loved it but I never learned anything beyond showing the home. I was thinking about joining a team we shall see!!!!
Good luck!
My brother stores antique cars in winter. They place cheap smelly dryer sheets in the cars, and it keeps rodents out. It might work on your lawn tractor.
Just a suggestion where going out with friends is concerned...
If someone approaches you, be nice but firmly tell them you're not on the clock, you're out enjoying time with your friends and maybe you can chat with them some other time. Tell them it was nice meeting them/seeing them again, then proceed to walk away. They can email you and you can ignore it 😉
Lol, it's a constant battle!
Love your honesty...good luck with all that you do.
Love these video's! You are like listening to a friend. I made a note about the Real estate Transaction coordinator. We have Realtor's in the family. I have been reselling slowly and am 67 on social security. I need and want multiple streams plus, i just enrolled in a Digital marketing course!! I have 3 adult kids and help care for my 3 grandkids. I guess I'm not busy enough 😂
You are juggling a lot!!
I did the 2 weeks free Beta promoted closet. Sales were about the same for me. Sales have dropped huge since I didn’t sign up to pay myself.
2nd income- I’m mgr at UPS. Work only 5.5 hours a day. Great paid health benefits for family including pets. I am able resell before, after and even while I’m at UPS.
Good morning all happy Tuesday morning and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter
Love your chatty work with me, sale are slow but been moving some stale items, I work full time right now. I'm not much on shorts & swimwear because they don't sale for me. i tried promoted listing on Poshmark and didn;t get anymore sales then if I would send offer. I like look for sweater and jeans better or jacket. Your dog Soren is just like raise a kid, he in his baby stage working his way to terrible two's LOL Thanks again!
I appreciate these videos and like hearing your thoughts on things. And YES to multiple streams of income. I am a reseller and a psychotherapist and that works really well like your realtor business ❤❤
I’m sure you saw already but I just noticed on the posh feed that we can now offer partial refunds!!! It made me think of you because I remembered you brought this up ☺️
Thinking of you and all Californians with the recent flooding!
good video. Thank you!
we have 1 dog who was great to train and sometime we have considered getting a 2nd dog but we have had 2 dogs at the same time before and 1 dog is so much easier, especially if you have a busy lifestyle.
You are spot on with Poshmarks promotions program. The concept is crap. I did do the free trial period and saw barely more sales than normal -- not enough to justify the cost. Now I'm getting notifications like "come back and try it again!" They must be hurting for users if they're doing that.
Yikes!
I skip out on dollar days and go the next day for 50% off. I buy better paying up. I don't bring in volume but higher $$ resale value.
💯
My first husband was a real estate broker and talk about social, he was too social if you know what I mean LOL (skirt chaser)
Hi Courtney love your videos have been watching for years anyhow I saw a partial refund option on Poshmark today maybe someone already commented on it.
I hear you about the puppy! We adopted a puppy and boy it has been a long time since we had a puppy. The energy they have is amazing and very tiring sometimes. We thought too that will this period end soon? Since all of our prior dogs (except our first dog) were 1 to 2 years when we adopted so they were mellow. Our new one is almost a year and is starting to calm down so I hope you hang in there with the puppy. Our new puppy is a cuddler and so are we so that is fine with us.
Hey Courtney- how about a second shed..you have room, right? Long term solution.
I do have room, but I’m not sure I want the cost or ‘look’. Lots of options to consider.
To get rid of the rodents that eat car wires or items in storage get small powerful commercial work lights and put them at the bases of doors, garage doors or outside underneath your car. Costco sells a 4 pack of approx 4x6 yellow durable work lights for roughly $20. The rodents do not like the light. Works great and only cost is double AA batteries. You can get rechargeable batteries to help with cost. I lived in a house in a mountain community and rodents affected everyone. Someone in community heard this trick from a contractor and no one had issues again!
I am a dog foster mom. I only do puppies because my seven year old lab Leo doesn’t appreciate other older dogs in the house that are not part of his pack. Puppies definitely try your patience, but they’re just like children. They are growing and they need patience. I’m sorry you’re having a hard time. Whatever you do, don’t use a bark collar. They shock the dogs and it’s very terrifying. I would definitely reach out to a local dog trainer for some lessons. We did that with my dogs, and it was a lifesaver when they were young. 🙏 be patient with her. She and Luna look so happy 🥰 we get so many returns with people who adopt puppies it’s heartbreaking. I hope you reach out to a trainer so you feel better and don’t have the regret that you’re talking about. Hugs.
As of today 8/22, poshmark now offers partial refunds 🎉😊
Amazing!
Bags haven't been selling for me at all the past year.
And I have some great bags in my inventory.
I'm not sourcing them anymore.
Too saturated I think
Yea, I just don't find many good ones so I'm not looped in on the bag market.
Funny you should mention wanting partial refunds on Poshmark! I just saw in an FB group someone post a picture of an email from Poshmark saying you can now send partial refunds! Curious if it’s to everyone or just some for now.
I literally just saw that we can give partial refunds as a banner on my news page on posh so i think it’s for everyone 🙂
We call it a 'Ride-On Mower" in Australia :)
OK, you opened up the can, now we're holding our breath lol.
I resell, do some VA work and on the weekends work for a slimber party company.
In the summer I stay insode as much as possible, its still in the 114s 🥵🥵
Yikes! That is hot!
I honestly stick to yardsales because ppl low ball so much often then b4 😅
What brand us your steamer .. It’s much better than mine
Courtney have you ever tried Rover for the dogs? I have been using the service for 2 years now and its worked out good. Hope you got through the storm ok.
Having done dog showing and training.... different breeds have different temperaments. Even mixed breeds retain temperaments. You have a typical Labrador. Hopefully he will mature. I call them "the close talkers" of the world. In your face and don't you love me and all I want to do is have fun. Luna looks German Shepherdish. They are herding dogs and are good at reading you. And have an off switch.
try watching some yotube "cesar milan getting your dog to stop barking" . The vet I worked for has a saying " a tired dog is a good dog" I had a mini aussie who hated everyone and trying to train him with all that aussie energy well I first had to tire him out to train him ..I walked that dog 10 miles a day I was going through walking shoes like every 2 months and i was gaining weight because he was so stressful I would down a black coffee and a danish to have the energy to walk him 10 miles while trying avoid every single thing tahtw ould trigger him on his walks.
Don’t give up on the pup! I adopted an english setter rescue 2 years ago after my dog of 15 years passed. I vowed I wouldn’t get another dog for the freedom, etc.
My son talked me into this dog because I said if he could find this breed I would consider it. I figured he would never find one.
She’s been tough. Leash reactive, anxious when left alone (ate my blinds), was not very affectionate, etc
I had many moments of regret, even though I loved the dog.
She is still at work in progress. But slowly but surely she is making progress. I couldn’t imagine a day without her. ❤
Now u can do partial refunds I thinkn they just released this feature
Okay so something just happened to me on Poshmark and I am so upset about it! This lady purchased a dress from me on an offer to liker. I shipped out the dress 24 hours later she tried to cancel the order I told her it’s already been shipped. I cannot cancel the order. The dress arrived yesterday as soon as she received the dress, she opened a return not only did she put holes in the dress, but I woke up this morning to Poshmark, accepting the return after I have already messaged them and told them I was afraid this was gonna happen, they see that she tried to cancel the dress now I am going to get back a dress with holes in it that was new with tags and now I can’t do anything with it. I am so aggravated about this. What would y’all do in the situation I’ve never had anything like this happen. Has anyone had this happen before and if so, I would like to know about it. I have reached out to Poshmark about this.
They are offering partial refunds now, I saw a banner on the app.
I'm dying here all work no play, no sales and I play PM games.
Maybe his food is too much protein? Long walks should really help if he has to walk next to you with an easy leader looking at you.
So, do you overcharge for shipping?
No, not sure what I said in this video that gave you that impression.
@@commontags just wondered
I had a friend who had three boys and they would bring home girlfriends and she would get attached and the biys would break up with the girl and the boys did not want her conituning her friendship with the ex girlfriends so she told them " DO NOT bring home any girls until you are sure you are going to marry them"
