If you have a portfolio website - try and have a blog that goes with it. People will visit a website once - but if you have brand new and interesting content all the time they are more likely to come back again. E.g. if you are selling plants - have a plant blog with care tips.
Weddings - wedding organising tips and advice. You get the drift... good way of keeping people in the loop about what you are doing and to keep the interest in your website growing.

Hi everyone : )

Got 46 listing put on eBay yesterday so am pleased with that. 3 have already got bids on : D (ending next Sunday) Am about to post a few parcels off that sold yesterday and after I have updated my spreadsheet and worked out my profit I will update my signature!

Am still motivated and raring to go....have been lurking and keep checking back on the thread for motivation (and a giggle!) - sorry I haven't posted CTC, I haven't had too much advice for people and don't want to clutter up the thread too much, although will check in every day now as I don't want to be whipped !!!

Keep it up everyone, hope you're having a ball x

ok..... i need some market research info here...

IF you were buying clothes in bulk to sell on via ebay or market/carboot sale..

adults......£1 per item in lets say boxes of 30 - 50 and 100 items?

childrens 60p per item in the same quantities... no baby grows etc

does this seem reasonable or to cheap

then brand new clothing with tags...... 20% of the tag price?

what do you think... would people buy at these prices to sell on?

Entirely depends on the item. It needs to photograph well. Black items are the bane of an ebayers life, things with a modern pattern or trim sell well as they are clear to see on the photos, where plain items are more variable.

Last January I was in a Monsoon that had a £5 sale rale. I decided to take a punt and picked up 20 items, in total I resold these for £987. What I learnt here was size is completely irrelevant, the absolutely huge sizes actually sold really really well even in the tiny strappy dresses, which I can only assume is because its harder to find nice clothes in size 20+. I also learnt that patterned is better. The two items I liked best actually resold for the lowest amount of money, because while they were well tailorered they looked plain in the photos. I also realised how much of a premium people will pay for labels not just new tags, since they I have bought and resold higher end high street and designer from charity shops for an average of treble my purchase price. Hope thats of some help.

Well done!

Do you have any tips for the Dooyou reviewing? It looks like quite a lot of work as you only get about 50p for 150 words?

I've been dooyooing for over a year now, and it really is a great earner. My advice is stick to 3 reviews a day or fewer, beyond this you'll get very few rates. Review useful items, such as books you've read, appliances, companies etc, not a twix bar, no one NEEDS to read that review so you'll get a lot fewer rates. Don't review at 152 words, try to aim for 300. I can knock this out in under 15mins, so its really not that hard if you really know the product you're reviewing. Try and have a catchy title, and always return rates. The 50p is the basic, by rating other peoples reviews for very little effort you can easily get an additional 50p-£1.50 per review. Yes its time consuming, but its mindless and easy, and the more people read a review the more likely it is to get a crown.

Just found out today I don't get the MRI on my knee till the 19th February, so likelyhood is I'm off work until at least then. Going to try to use the time to focus and finally get into matched betting.

Well I've just worked out what I've made so far - £115 and that includes £45 taken off from money I've spent but not yet sold on. Quite chuffed with that, but I've realised that the P&P is absolutely killing me! Most of the things I've sold are quite large and heavy, will have to look into an alternative to Royal Mail and will certainly have to look into an alternative to huge jiffy bags! Where can I get cheap bubble wrap and brown parcel paper?!!

I use pink mailing bags for posting my items, I get them off ebay and its 100 A4 sized bags for £9, so worked out at 9p each. I usually sell clothes so I fold it flat and if its flat enough it gets sent as a large letter so I save a few pence on postage costs.
