No matter what the total is, you have to remember that you, yourself generated every penny of it, using your knowledge, skills and gut instinct. No one handed you ANY of that money, just for turning up and doing your 9-5 hours. That alone is something to be VERY proud of.
@andybussa1323 I'm sure they do, but if you reread what I wrote, I specifically talked of those that simply turn up to work. They get paid, whether they perform their function or not. Self employed people can often do the work and not get paid for it at all.
The transparency is great, so many click baits they don't actually give you proper figures. When I started doing videos I knew it wouldn't be quick but it's surprising how long it can end up taking if you want to try and do them properly. Good luck for this year!
Ricky, you’re a pioneer in the way you are so consistent with your transparency, attitude and knowledge sharing! I appreciate you sharing your figures, it takes a lot to be so raw. Thank you for your service to the community!
Thank you for keeping it real this year. There were times with my mental health and a crazy toddler I felt like a flop for not listing and found comfort and advice from your vids and sometimes a kick up the a-s too 😂 the listing 5 is working for me! Thank you for the videos ❤️❤️❤️
I now charge for delivery and not seen alot of change as some people prefer tracked 48 royal mail or yodel is fantastic. 800+ sales from March no parcels missing. Allot better than when I was paying £3.70 & parcels claiming of not turning up. So now I know that so many customers play you. Now they have pics on the posting so can't complain. Well done Ricky as I been flipping for 15 years but never used item till I started watching you n it's doing good. Thank u
I restarted my ebay this year took 8 bags of low value clothing to the clothing bank started with 150 items been a hike got 550 items now listing 7 a day ive done 24k in sales so im happy with that keep meaning to start a channel myself for my ebay dramas lol , might start when my next order arrives
Great to see Ricky. Makes me feel good about my own eBay business. Finished on just over 42k total sales for the year before fees. Been a full time reseller for the last 6 years and usually hover around 250 items in my store. Motivated to crack on in the new year. Good luck with all your plans mate
Thanks Ricky been following you on personal account for most the year and this vid has inspired me to start a channel thank you so much for the clarity and keep up the great work. Happy new year 🎉
Amazing figures. You deserve every penny from your sales and you tube viewings. You are your own boss and that is priceless. Looking forward to seeing how 2025 develops.
Thanks for the info, will be submitting my first full year of reselling this year. Any help/advice is gratefully received! Your videos are always very helpful x
I enjoy seeing this type of video. Any chance if others are interested that you could start a series of how you track what's sold, how you you keep tabs on the business. Mainly for us newbie resellers. Cheers and have a great new year.
Happy new year ricky. Been away from reselling since September. I stopped as my mental health took a downturn. But now I feel ready to start up again at my own pace. I stayed subscribed and now catching up on your videos. Nice one. Good luck with your future ventures.
Great video Ricky - as others have said you should be proud of your achievements this year. You have grown the channel a lot plus there has been quite a bit of upheaval with changes in eBay Vinted and you tried whatnot plus the consignment sales. Now you have a plan of what works for you it will no doubt be better next year. Can you make a dedicated video re the info on the advantages of a limited company as both of my daughters are thinking of career changes and may go down that route. I had a limited co before but we didn’t have a choice as it made sense but some things have changed since then. Hope this video gets traction and you can earn a good amount from it!
Rarely do I comment on YT without either answering a question or offering a pithy quip. Im a serious lurker 😂😂 I started following you a few years back, and tbh, back then - you were an 'acquired taste'. BUT, this year, my man, you have absolutely won me over. Your candour, humour, openness, and self reflection has been a riveting watch. I can honestly say that, not unlike moss, you have grown on me. Keep it up. You have loads of lurkers, cheering and willing you on to succeed, in whatever form that takes and resonates best for you. I wish you all the best for the new year to you and yours. H.
You're doing great mate, enjoy the process, not only have you made a living but also helped & inspired literally thousands of people this year including myself to do the same thing or similar, although i do this along a full time job i plan to take it more serious next year as i only started half way through 2024 year but i always turn to your channel for tips, motivation or just simply relax on an evening watching your content that I've not seen. Big thanks from me and much appreciation 🙏👌
Loving your videos now, great to see you happier and healthier too. Surprised how much you get for UA-cam. I started reselling this year and struggle with reports on ebay so i can make sure i log fees etc to file as expenses. Any help would be appreciated. Keep up the good work your an inspiration 👏
Interesting video Ricky! I’ve been a seller for over 16 years after getting let go from work whilst pregnant with my first child. I’m newer to UA-cam and only just started filming seriously since Summer. Hoping I can get to your level at some point! Congrats! Beth Demize xx
Some media company actually did it and sent it to me to try and win my business. Tell them I’ll post it and see how it performs. I mean it’s pretty basic I could do that.
All the Best Ricky, been a pleasure learning from you I only recently became a reseller and always look forward to your vids. Good luck for the new year.
Ricky thanks for being so genuine I had a good turnover this year but was also on a really traumatic car accident. Lucky that I have a “side hustle” in my business that I could manage to replace things. But that also led to being a bit fucked up and going F it and buying things we didn’t need. I bought too much stock so my resolution needs to be to knuckle down and sell it before I get more!
hey Ricky, thought of you today : was watching YT, a doc on Christmas/Claridge's Hotel in London; and were sayin, this very special guest is arriving, stays all the time, from USA, famous fashion designer: Dennis Basso! and then they chatted with him - so made me think of your Fur Coat :) x
Love this video, you might find this video motivates others to take their UA-cam channel more seriously or to encourage them to start one. Brilliant. Good man
Great video Rick. I definitely want to up my UA-cam game and start adding some longer length videos to my channel. Good luck for 2025 fella, I hope you achieve whatever you aim for next year and cheers for all for your vids, keep it up.
Wishing you all the best for the new year and your new plans. I appreciate your videos and particularly your humour and your transparency. Thank goodness for the YT income and you've decent foundations for the rest of it. Please focus on your health... without which, none of your growth plans will be possible. I'm still flattened by sickness but hope medics can sort this out once and for all in 2025. Good luck Ricky!
Going for a huge reset myself after new year content & life wise im just gunna nose dive into the deep end of reselling & doing ebay content i am honestly pooping it but im also dead exited!
Its my first year reselling, ive just started my UA-cam (not earning yet) and have vinted on the go for last 3 months, Pretty proud i made 42k In sales (fees and stock deducted). But i also work full time! So im really thinking of going fulltime soon! Great to see the progress
Happy New Year to you & your beautiful family, I think 2025 is going to be a great year for reselling, I can feel it in my waters!! 🥴🥴🥴, or I need some cranberry juice 😂😂
Great video Ricky, I’m 2 years in on eBay now and I do feel your pain on the sales things and the cost that goes with it on eBay which drives me mad as a business seller, I’ve yet to do the UA-cam thing or Vinted ( as I sell new merch and I’m not quite sure if you can do it on that site) Like yourself I’m planing big next year and I shall be watching your channel for hints and tips, first thing for me is to start a UA-cam channel and start to do some shorts of my merch. Any hints or tips you can advice I would be greatly appreciate it. Have a great 2025
Love the channel and content thought eBay £ was allot less than I expected and you tube a lot more than I expected looks like a lot of hard work for 40ish grand a year keep up good workc😀😀😀😀
The flexibility of doing what you do has helped with childcare, I imagine. Similar to me with night work... that helps save a few ££. Looking forward to watching your journey in 2025. Turnover north of 60k for you by next Dec 😀
Hey found you channel earlier this year me and my dad buy and sell as well not through eBay but just retro vintage antiques the glass you sold was very nice if you ever in Scotland Dumfries and Galloway come to crap shak at Moffat
I genuinely thought it would be about 3 times that amount of gross revenue before fees and cos . I am sure you will easily double it next year, have a good one! Also look into your rpm, seems very low. You should be getting at about £11 rpm with £24 cpm as your topic is financial, make sure you have channel category setup correctly and tag financial terms. Good luck.
@ some of the other resellers that post their updates seem to be more niche (e.g just clothing, just electronics) share higher daily/weekly revenues (average of £200 a day when taking in weekend sales) and you buy and sell more types of stock so thought it would be similar as you have more options however likely slightly offset by selling things a little cheaper. End of the day doesn’t matter if the revenue is high if cos is high as well, so main thing is you are happy with your margin, your sell rate and your take home pay for the hours you put in. As for UA-cam revenue, I retired from making YT content but some of my old UA-cam channels still bring in between 170k to 280k views per month and the financial focused channels that I stop posting on 3 years ago are getting around £11 rpm so worth checking your tags, worth also linking them from places like Reddit, facebook and discord to get more external views driving traffic to UA-cam, the latest algorithm update boosts this as you are driving traffic away from other social media platforms to UA-cam. Also remember to make some videos based on search terms that will be continued to be searched on forever (like this one). This really helps for longevity of passive income so if you decide to take 6 months off from UA-cam the channel continues to bring solid views without you having to post new content frequently. Those videos effectively become your pension when you retire 👍 Best of luck in 2025!
Suprised to see your eBay total was only £21k. From what I've watched of you I thought that would be higher and that's not me negging you - I look to you for inspiration. I started my reselling business 12 month ago and created a LTD company from the off. I did just shy of £24k on eBay this year but much less than you on Vinted. And, of course, my reselling channel isn't monetised. But the channels that are don't bring in anywhere near what yours does. All in I appreciate the transparency and will probably do a similar video as a self reflection and also a benchmark of where I am after a year and hoping (praying) that year 2 will be even bigger!
Not sure if you missed the part of the video where I said that I’ve sat on my arse for the last six months pissing around with UA-cam instead of eBay. Maybe you did. But that’s why. And your UA-cam will take off mate it’s a good channel.
@RickyResells Yeah, but that pissing about on UA-cam has earned you a decent wedge there so I think it's been worth it 🤣 And I appreciate your kind words. Another part of my life is refereeing football and it has served me well as a second stream of income. Much like your UA-cam channel has for you. In both the physical act of refereeing and also talking and podcasting about it.
Amazing video Ricky first time seeing a youtuber showing all their earnings gives a great insight to want you could achieve if you work at it . Ps. Are you setting yourself a realistic Ebay target for 2025 or just seeing how far you can go. Wishing You and your Family all the best in 2025.
You got me thinking about the danger of reality shows where people trade is that when they become more successful as a personality than as their skill as a trader or whatever, the show becomes unrealistic because the sales don't matter, they are not spending their own money, and people are selling or buying from them because they are fans. The storage shows are just awful and the certain welsh man would probably be making bigger margins if the cameras were not running
I worked my self hard last year and ended up just short of £25k on ebay, my best year, but still think i am failing in some way as after expenses, its like cut that in half, but now having seen your figures and i know you work hard, maybe we are all doing ok, just need to find better ways to scale it up.
Wait till the tax man gets his mitts on your NET lol not lol, I'm surprised at the revenue from YT , i think that's really good, and it'll improve when you get more followers, along with your selling . I watch an American called Hairy Tornado, watched him from when his selling and YT were just a side hustle from his job, then he was made redundant, and his side hustle took off. He now owns 3 houses and has an employee. His wife packed her job in and helps with his business. He used to do quirky selling challenges that people enjoyed and that took his YT page into the strasophere . Anything is possible with the determination ❤
Ricky how do you prove your carboots buys mate as we don't get receipt with the purchases this year I will just take the hit on the full amount on the item but next year I would like to prove the purchase if possible cheers robo
Really good for first year, You tube revenue is insane, really 6 months of ebay and 6 of you tube :) Easiest way to make money is waste less of course. When you really get going its going to be amazing
i dont think i'm doing as well as i think i am, i think my issue is buying too much stock, i earn a nice amount but i would guess i spend 2/3 of what i make on more stock which doesnt work long term. hoping i can get my head around selling quicker in 2025 and cutting down on spending all the best for 2025 improvements
Clearly UA-cam is worth doing if you are willing to input the content and edit etc a lot of millionaires out there purely via UA-cam most of which invest tens of thousands or more and stray so far from their true selves, Great video and insight showing what can be done and anyone who watches regularly knows the tolls it takes on you reselling, content creating etc can be a lot harder on the mind and body than a 9/5 in Asda etc 🎉 Keep em coming
You make much with like affiliate and promoted links? Would definitely watch you do reviews or how to videos - whether that’s like stuff you use on the regular or like clothing bundles from wholesalers.
Ricky thanks for being so transparent. One of the few resellers on here you can rely on to actually show you what reselling is like. Keep it going.
No matter what the total is, you have to remember that you, yourself generated every penny of it, using your knowledge, skills and gut instinct. No one handed you ANY of that money, just for turning up and doing your 9-5 hours. That alone is something to be VERY proud of.
Well said that pepperpot 👏🏻💕
❤
@@StevenPepperPot the people who do 9 -5 jobs also generated their money

Gained a new subscriber from this video mate, keep going I started reselling in June turned over 9k happy with that 😁
Welcome to the channel mate keep going you’re doing great, buy the sound of it
The transparency is great, so many click baits they don't actually give you proper figures. When I started doing videos I knew it wouldn't be quick but it's surprising how long it can end up taking if you want to try and do them properly. Good luck for this year!

Thanks for the video what software do you use to track your items you buy and price it sells at so you can work out your profit?
Thank you mate, I use QuickBooks. There is a link in my description at the bottom if you wanna take a look.
Amazing video Ricky first time seeing a youtuber showing all their earnings gives a great insight to want you could achieve if you work at it .
Ps. Are you setting yourself a realistic Ebay target for 2025 or just seeing how far you can go.
Wishing You and your Family all the best in 2025.

Wait till the tax man gets his mitts on your NET lol not lol, I'm surprised at the revenue from YT , i think that's really good, and it'll improve when you get more followers, along with your selling . I watch an American called Hairy Tornado, watched him from when his selling and YT were just a side hustle from his job, then he was made redundant, and his side hustle took off. He now owns 3 houses and has an employee. His wife packed her job in and helps with his business. He used to do quirky selling challenges that people enjoyed and that took his YT page into the strasophere . Anything is possible with the determination ❤
Ricky how do you prove your carboots buys mate as we don't get receipt with the purchases this year I will just take the hit on the full amount on the item but next year I would like to prove the purchase if possible cheers robo
Just do a self cert receipt and take some photos of the goods as proof of purchase, always been good enough.
Really good for first year, You tube revenue is insane, really 6 months of ebay and 6 of you tube :) Easiest way to make money is waste less of course. When you really get going its going to be amazing
Well played Paul. Well played
Great video, go into 2025 positive you can do it 😊( I think I’m talking to myself too 😂) All the best 😊
Nice one Ricky
i dont think i'm doing as well as i think i am, i think my issue is buying too much stock, i earn a nice amount but i would guess i spend 2/3 of what i make on more stock which doesnt work long term.
hoping i can get my head around selling quicker in 2025 and cutting down on spending
all the best for 2025 improvements
Clearly UA-cam is worth doing if you are willing to input the content and edit etc a lot of millionaires out there purely via UA-cam most of which invest tens of thousands or more and stray so far from their true selves,
Great video and insight showing what can be done and anyone who watches regularly knows the tolls it takes on you reselling, content creating etc can be a lot harder on the mind and body than a 9/5 in Asda etc 🎉
Keep em coming
Hi what was your clothing ad rate for transparency please?
Huh?
Youre the real one Ricky. All the best in 2025 mate
Good video big yin smash the next 365 days good luck
Nice one Ricky
No cash? 😝😝 fair play mate!
You make much with like affiliate and promoted links? Would definitely watch you do reviews or how to videos - whether that’s like stuff you use on the regular or like clothing bundles from wholesalers.
No. Honey stole it all
best video you done
I’m actually really surprised how much UA-cam pays
Imagine what the big big big and consistent channels make. Jesus.
Nice insight video mate. The tax difference between sole and ltd (corporation & personal) on those numbers will be insignificant unfortunately
I wouldn’t be looking to go limited if I was planning on staying where I am. I plan to grow. Appreciate the comment.
Didn't expect youtube to be that much, not to bad
You will make more than double next year mate
Appreciate the honesty. best wishes for 2025 from Australia
You too, mate!
Thanks for being honest and telling it as it is to many people forget all the costs involved. Happy new year to you and your family
