Part time business, full time fun!
Ever wish you could make extra cash without giving up your job, family time, or hobbies? The most successful resellers don’t work around the clock—they’ve found a way to balance it all while running a fun and fulfilling side hustle.
With just a few smart strategies, you can turn reselling into a profitable part-time gig that fits into your life. Whether you have a full-time job, kids to chase after, or other obligations, this guide will show you how to earn money on your own time—and have fun while doing it!
1. Choose the Right Niche
Focus on items with strong demand and good resale margins, such as branded clothing, electronics, jewelry, cosmetics, vintage items, or liquidation goods.
Consider what you enjoy sourcing and selling—it makes the business more sustainable and way more fun!
2. Source Smartly
Buy from liquidation auctions, thrift stores, estate sales, and direct wholesalers.
Always check for authenticity and condition before purchasing.
Always check reviews on any liquidators
3. Price Competitively but Profitably
Research market prices using eBay’s Sold Listings, Poshmark’s trends, and other resale platforms.
Factor in fees, shipping, and time spent when setting prices.
Use a pricing strategy—sell fast with lower margins or hold for higher profits.
4. Optimize Your Listings
Use high-quality photos with good lighting and multiple angles.
Write clear, keyword-rich descriptions to help buyers find your products.
Be transparent about defects—it builds trust and reduces returns.
5. List on Multiple Platforms
You can cross-post inventory on eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Facebook Marketplace, and Shopify to maximize reach.
Don't worry if you only want to start and remain with one platform!
6. Offer Fast & Affordable Shipping
Free shipping can increase sales, but build it into the price if needed.
Use shipping tools to save on costs.
Ship quickly—buyers love fast processing times.
7. Build a Brand & Community
Have a consistent shop name, logo, and social media presence.
Engage in reselling groups, create helpful content, or run promotions to attract repeat buyers.
Ask for reviews!
8. Learn & Adapt to Trends
Stay updated on resale trends—some brands or categories fall out of favor quickly.
Follow influencers, reselling communities, and the various trend platforms.
Be willing to pivot if your niche slows down.
9. Manage Your Inventory Well
Keep an inventory system to track stock, sales, and profit margins.
Rotate old stock with sales or bundles to keep cash flow moving.
Avoid hoarding—unsold inventory is money tied up.
10. Provide Great Customer Service
Answer questions quickly and professionally.
Handle returns and disputes fairly.
Encourage repeat buyers by offering discounts or bundling deals.
