I
have been on eBay since June 13th (officially selling on June 15th).
I am a true newbie at this. I have managed to sell over $1000 worth of
merchandise. I have learned a whole lot from this eBay experience and operating
an online store. Here are my lessons learned:
·
Upload at least 4 photos when it comes to shoes –
I have received 2 emails from customers who ask me for more photos regarding
products (1 of them has sold).
·
Give the customers what they want – I have
uploaded a lot of my dresses and clothes but have sold only 1 dress. All of my
sales have come from my Stuart Weitzman shoes so I keep putting them out for
sale.
·
Customer service is big! – I love emailing my
customers and writing thank you cards because they communicate and share energy
and ideas. People truly love that personal touch; in addition, I am happy that
people want my stuff. I want to send good juju their way.
·
Social media is huge! – I shoot a video for
Instagram. I have also posted my shoes and eBay experience updates.
Furthermore, I have created a Pinterest board. I will keep promoting via
Instagram because I receive the most activity.
·
Transferable skills – operating this eBay store
will help me promote my Carlarjenkins.com and Expandyourpersonalbrand.com
online shops. I know how to market, which items to stock and how to provide
customer satisfaction.
Here is my video discussing how (at the time) I sold over
$700.
I will earn another $1000 next week through learning these
lessons. Moreover, I will keep decluttering my space and learning more about
operating my online store.
