Stable Side Hustle - Creating a small e-commerce business from scratch

On this episode I go over how I structure my listing descriptions to turn visitors into buyers and ultimately improve conversion rate. I also touch on using keyboards to improve listing searchability. If you have any specific questions on this, feel free to contact me.

It's been 10 months since I last did an episode!. On this one, I give you actual numbers from a busy 2022 and where I am at currently in 2023. I compare my numbers and I go in detail as to what has worked and what has failed. I also talk about why I haven't posted more audio and how I will try and get feedback to post more audio with things you will find beneficial.

On this episode I answer some of the most common questions I get about my business.  Where do you get your inventory? How do you do your bookkeeping? as well as What is the best advise to grow my sales?.  Some of these questions I get more often than others and given that it is tax season here in the U.S.  I talk about what software I have used, what I will use and how I file.  I also go into talking about the importance to niche down and how that will help you get inventory replenished quicker and more effectively.  Hope this helps and enjoy.

This episode is all about product photography.  I talk about taking good photos of your products so you can increase conversion when your site visitors come see your listings.  You do not need fancy equipment, but there are a few ways to take high quality pics of your items.  If your site visitor count increases, your sales should increase, but without better photos, they aren't sold on your product.  A great description needs to tie into your photos and I go through and explain how that is the way to make more sales.  Enjoy and if you have any suggestions or questions, reach out to me on Instagram.

In this episode I talk about how listing titles are your main driver for views to your items for sale.  Whether you are using your own website or a third party selling site like eBay, properly wording titles can help you get more views to your items and potentially increase your sales.  I also talk about how the same concept can be applied with Google as it is the most popular search engine and it scans text to give out results.  Enjoy and if you have any suggestions or questions, reach out to me on Instagram.

In this episode I talk about the typical approach to deciding what to sell and how to go from selling items around your house to visiting swap meets or thrift stores, and eventually finding suppliers to scale the business and have steady inventory available.  Most resellers get a rush when they come across a hot item with high profits, but that is not a steady way to bring the money and is for short term profit.  Enjoy this episode and if you have any suggestions, feel free to reach out!

It's been more than 10 years since I started selling online and finally reached stability in 2020 where I don't visit thrift stores as often and have minimum sales each and every month.  This is the introduction to the podcast and offers a bit about my background and how much I currently make on an annual basis from my online shops.  Welcome and feel free to reach out.
