The Truth About Side Hustles

May Sales Update

I got a little lazy in May. I only listed 56 new items, which is no where near my goal of 5 items every day. I just barely managed to make more money than last month.
In April I made 18 sales and $224.60 and in May I made 19 sales and $228.81.

I did however manage to break my Depop record with 6 sales over there. I only made a couple of dollars on each though. I have found the customers on Depop simply aren’t willing to pay as much as those over on eBay.
My highest selling item this month was this silk maxi dress from an Australian company called Barbarella Vintage.

I’m going to change things up in June and start something new.
I’ve had an Etsy store for a while, that I was trying to do print on demand, which I didn’t really enjoy so I have just left it. I have decided to re-brand that store and try again, but this time selling handmade items/DIY kits instead of print on demand.
(Made 1 sale so far, so pretty keen to hit the ground running with this one.)

I am also going to do a little experiment for you guys. Ever since I quit my job, I have been looking at reselling as more of a work from home job than a side hustle. Well for the month of June I am going to focus solely on my Etsy store and just leave eBay and Depop. I will most likely still go out and source more items, so I am ready for July. But I thought I would see what happens if someone just wanted to list a bunch of stuff on eBay and then forget about it.
If you want to check out my eBay store you can find it here.
If you want to check out my Depop you can find that here.
If you want to check out my Etsy you can find it here.

As always follow along for any new updates.
