How To Sell Products Online & Make Money Without A Business!
hey buddy full family my name is isabella i am the owner of two six figure online businesses and today i'm gonna tell you guys how you can sell online without starting an actual business so you guys know i have a step-by-step playlist of how to start your own business and how to set up your website for free how to find products to sell etc but i know a lot of you guys aren't quite ready to jump into a business and this is something that i wish i had told you guys sooner and i'm not really sure how i haven't done a video on this yet before we get started in this video make sure you guys hit that like button so i can continue making videos like this for you guys and hit the subscribe button if you're new here the method that i'm about to show you guys in this video today i have actually been doing since i was 17 years old and this was always sort of a side hustle for me of how i made money while i was in school while i was a dental assistant way back when and how i can make money as a side hustle without actually having a legitimate business or even making videos so if you're not somebody that you are wanting to create content and if you're not somebody that wants to get into marketing just yet this is a great way to kind of get used to shipping and selling without having to market or without having to open your own online store so there's quite a few different stores like the one i'm about to show you i've always used mercari although there's other online selling apps such as deep pop is another one depop is more for people that like to thrift so i actually know people that go into thrift stores they find things in thrift stores and then they jump on d-pop and they sell their thrift finds on depop i actually know people that do this full-time and some of these people that do it full-time they actually wound up turning this hustle into a full online store eventually as they grew their following on depop so the reason why i think people like to start off with d-pop and mercari is the fact that you don't have to technically market it yourself you can kind of just have that store now you guys know how i feel about having your own online business i feel like i have something that i can continue to build long term which is why i support if you really want to get serious to start your own business like ours but this is definitely a side hustle and a way to make money for anyone that doesn't want to put the work in just yet but wants to experiment with selling online so the reason why i like using these apps is basically it's very very little work so basically i just post the pictures of what i'm selling on mercari and mercury kind of does the promotion for you so i'll show you guys like how i set up the post and everything in this video so you guys can get started doing this too i am one of those people where i wear something one time and a lot of times i used to be an influencer i'd get clothes for free i would wind up selling them on mercari or on depop so you guys could literally find things in your house that you want to get rid of to sell and i promise you there is a market for a lot of different things on these apps but with the holidays coming up you guys know that i talked about in my other video what products to sell on the holidays although you guys know i did put some pop-its and fidget toys that i talk about in that holiday video on my shop but not only did i list them on my shop but i also listed them on mercari to get extra sales so i bought these giant fidgets for 25 dollars a piece on alibaba and i've been selling them for 130 on mercari and on my website on my website i've actually been selling them for about a hundred because i give people a better day on my own website because i don't have to pay as many fees mercari the selling app does take fees but it's kind of worth it because you're promoting the products for you and it just makes it really easy and the fees aren't too bad it's very reasonable so it's about a hundred dollar profit from just selling these and it's not that hard to ship i've just been folding them up and placing them in a shipping bag and mercari actually sends you like the shipping label right away which i'll show you like how to do in this video so basically this is for somebody where if you want to do quick flips on mercari if you want to sell things in your house this is a great side hustle and this is something that i've been doing since i was young so you guys are probably wondering like what would i sell in mercari like what can i do so the first thing i would do is go through your house see if there's anything that you want to sell in your house you want to sell clothes if you want to sell like old anything you could look on my car so if you're not sure how to price it all you guys would have to do is you can literally just go to mercari and see like what other people are selling you can go like through the recommended you could go through recently viewed and you guys see here this sold a month huge among us for a hundred dollars this was something i did in my research that i could see other people were buying that's the same size that the one that i got so that's why it says recently saw i was looking through things and i thought it was funny like a lot of people like they just put like random poppets on here too which i know like i saw that stitch one on alibaba like for a dollar so like people are doing like little flips as well so like if you look up pop it you guys will see like they're they show the other puppet toys too but they have squishmallows on here too and i'm not trying to like sell fake stuff on mykari but fyi i've seen a lot of squishmallows on alibaba and i don't know if they're fake or real but i always am curious if people are flipping squishmallows or like flipping other toys from alibaba like rare plushies and things like that but basically i would just go through um this list of poppets and i would find my jumbo poppet to see so let's type in like jumbo so here you can see they're selling other poppets there's actually my picture right there i'm selling that one for 25 i bought that one for i think like a couple dollars on alibaba so i'm just looking through this list and i'm just looking for things that stick out to me and then what i always do too is i always go up here and i click sold so i'm seeing what's actually selling instead of just being listed because anyone can list something but let's see what's actually being sold so these are ones that have recently been sold it's really funny because this one right here excel fidget toy box i've seen this on amazon i swear for a lot cheaper so i thought that was interesting um and how you can set it up i'll show you guys how to set up a listing today so here's what my profile looks like and i've had multiple different profiles since i have been doing this so i've had an account where i had like 200 reviews but i don't know for what reason but i lost that acc
