I need advice from full time sellers
I’m currently selling on ebay, poshmark, mercari, and facebook marketplace full time. I buy storage units and flip the contents inside as well as flipping items from yard sales and estate sales. I’ve been doing this since January and it’s been very fun & I love it but there are obviously highs and lows.. I haven’t even thought about taxes yet. I’ve made about $5,000 net since starting and I know I haven’t been doing it long but I just feel so discouraged.
I just started a youtube channel and that gives me a little hope that I can actually scale this the way I imagine. I guess my main question to everyone is, do you think this is something that can become an actual career or pay the bills one day?
I talked to a very wealthy colleague of mine and he says he doesn’t honestly see the marketplace being a scalable business but doubling down on content and youtube can definitely be the best scaled thing I can do and become “successful” from it.
