With unemployment and inflation numbers through the roof, more people are looking for alternative types of work than ever before. Add in the anti-work movement and thousand of people are leaving their jobs every day and needing to come up with new forms on income (me, 5 years ago). There is a third group of …
If you are trying to run an eBay business, having the right tools for the job is the difference between a sputtering side business and a well-oiled money-making machine. You’ll obviously stock up your shipping room with a label printer, scale, shipping supplies, a mannequin, and camera. But what do you do when your old …
Whenever you order an item or fill out an online application you’ll be asked for a shipping address (as well as several other address types). If you don’t get your shipping address right you can expect someone else to receive your package. So what is your shipping address? A shipping address is a physical location …
When we had been reselling for about a year, I remember walking into a thrift store and wanting to walk right back out again. Normally I love hunting for treasure but the idea of digging my way through an entire rack of t-shirt and then an entire rack of jeans, and then 3 racks of …

Home decor items that no longer fit your style? Sell them on Poshmark. In fact, Poshmark is the answer for just about everything. Unless the answer is eBay or …
When it comes to sourcing books for Amazon you can scan books all day and, if you’re not doing it right, you can be stuck at $100 per day or less for years. Gone are the days when you had to memorize what types of books sell best on Amazon. These days it’s all about …
If you’re anything like me, your closet is full of things that you don’t really want (and rarely wear) but you just can’t bring yourself to get rid of. Normally it’s because I feel like getting rid of it will be like admitting that I shouldn’t have wasted money on in the first place. But …

Figuring out the abbreviations and phrases for eBay, for example, took us months once we started selling there full-time. However, there are some pretty obvious ones.
