Thanks for the message

Got a surprise email today from fiverr someone has bought one of my gigs.. I know in GBP it only works out about £3 but that site is so full of stuff I never expected to get a request so soon as only joined the day before yesterday!

Got a reply from textbroker too and I'm only a 3* rating but I kind of expected that anyway! And tonight have just logged on and there are a couple of 3* jobs if anyone else is 3*.... anyway I have clicked to do one but i've never done it before so will log in tomorrow and see if it's still there. I'm scared it's going to disappear overnight! lol

Signed up to a couple more survey sites today too, and entered a couple more. Did one survey for half an hour and afterwards realised it was worth 15p I think it was :eek: Need to pay more attention I guess.

Really need to get up the courage to ebay!

Morning

I was planning on getting some listings up on ebay today, but seeing as its free listing again this weekend i'll get them scheduled for that instead

I must admit the postage increase has made it difficult, quite a lot of my items fall into the medium parcel range, so with the increased postage they really don't seem worth listing

I've been looking into couriers but all of they seem to require you to print your own labels, our printer is out of ink and i seem to remember it being quite pricey for cartridges, so thats a no go for now.

Ive been looking into facebook selling, but our local group seems pretty dire, might have to set my own up, has anyone else set up their own ?

Hi Moneyspider

I set up my own selling group a year ago. It has taken me that long to grt 400 members but have some tips for you.

If you keep it as an open group people looking for selling groups wil find it and be able to see what people are selling making it easier for getting people to join.

As admin set the rule that you have to approve new members. do thia in settings.
Check each persons profile before adding them. You get spammers who were only born yesterday and have pics of.s exy women. They have star:rotfl:ted getting clever and put on their fb wall they have stuff.for sale. Yep payday loans.

Do have another profile so you can check for spammers who have been added and have blocked admin which is what they do. You can.tell when someone has blocked you, their profile is greyed out and you can't see their posts.

Make some.rules and put.them.at the top of your group. Upto you ehat they are but peoplw put things like no bumping of posts for 48hrs, albums only, no multiple posts. Please list where you are, condition of item, how much you want.

Others will go.through and delete posts of items sold pr duplicates

A little trick to.get your numbers up. Join other selling groups locally.and ask.admin if you can post about your group as well or inbox members telling them.you have.set up a new group. But be careful.of this as you can get closed for.spamming.

Encourage friends and family to.join and to tell people they know to join.

I just log in on my normal fb profile and my selling page is one of my groups.

Meant to ask what catridges do you use? Have you tried compatibles/ebay for.cheaper ones?

Morning everyone:) You are all doing awesome, well done x. Thank you for the heads up about the free listings this weekend, I will see what I can put together.

I'm having a bit of a downer today, not sure why, I have just run out of steam. I think it probably comes down to not being able to spend anything. Doing something like this makes you realise just how much things cost.......when you spend all day making an item that sells for just £3, the thought of spending a tenner on something just seems so painful, although a couple of weeks ago, I would have done it without a thought.

I have so many things I want to do, decorate the house (it is a dump, we are doing it a little at a time as and when we can afford it, it's taking forever) we all need new clothes and I really want to buy fabric and patterns so I can give dressmaking a go.

But until at least the secured debts are gone, I can't allow myself to go spending and its making me really

Everything just seems a long way off right now, i'm sure I will feel better in a couple of days, getting the kids back to school next week will help
