Poshmark’s Post

Poshmark has been a part of my life for over 14 years! Thrifting and flipping my finds has been my passion since 2010 when I found my first Hermes item at a local thrift store. Since then I’ve found the most amazing art, clothes, shoes, and accessories. I don’t bring in 75k a year but I do make enough to help fund vacations and have side money when needed. Have questions on how to get started? Ask me how! The article below is a great starting point. Happy Poshing!

Friday Funday - Ask for What You Want! Most of my Linkedin posts this month have been story-based, but let's do something completely different! I'm going to say somethings I want, and I'd appreciate your help. Then let me know what you you want, and I'll try and reciprocate! I want: 1) Introductions to Furniture Retailers: Niche, I know. Happy to pay £200, straight up, for a warm intro to a decision maker at any furniture store that turns over £500k , instore or online. 2) High-quality cold calls: Borrowing the idea from elsewhere, if you would like to apply for our Sales & Partnerships role, please cold call me - 07827 932 537, in the next few days. Weekend afternoons are fine! I can't bring myself to sort through the 50 Linkedin applications and would like to see you in action. 3) A voice to calendar app: I keep forgetting social occasions. How can I voicenote to add to my calendar so I don't forget. How do you do that? Sorry if that's a Boomer question... What do you want that I might be able to help with?

The video below focuses on something most of us have heard countless times. It is about showing up. Each time I hear it my mind goes straight to what Igbos say when they say "Mepe Shop" or Open the shop. The whole idea of mepe shop is about ensuring that daily the shop must open. Even if you couldn't open it in the morning, still make time to open in the evening. You are opening the shop because if you don't show up no-one will walk in. But you have a higher chance of walk in once the shop is open. In today's work I was thinking; how can we show up. For our writing, content, remote work and others. It's simple. Daily or based on your routine; show up. Create and post that content. Any day missed is a day of opportunities lost and money lost. Write that daily code. Even if you think it will be a bad day, show up because when the shop is open, you create an avenue for people to see you. Many buyers won't see the need to buy until they see that your shop is open. Have you seen people who buy agbo (local drug)? The sellers pass and they remember that they must buy something. If they don't see the seller, the need to buy never arises. So, keep showing up. #ideas #Newpost #showup #consistency #work #hardwork

In my work journey, I'm more interested in family businesses. Why? Because behind their simple shops are interesting ways of working and big effect. These shops are also a crucial part of the area. A family shop isn't just selling things; it's keeping local ways alive. In such close groups, you're not just a worker; you join a big family. This needs working with unique ways—liking old ways while bringing new things. It's a shot to get good at talk and feelings. In a world of giant firms, these shops have something rare: a human link and a tale for each deal. That's why I'm glad for these chances—where small truly means a lot. 🏪💼 #FamilyBusiness #SmallBusinessImpact #CareerGrowth

The impact of building confidence and perseverance... 🏋️Here is Cassiy Johnson's JAW DROPPING story. She is a living example that it is possible to achieve your dreams, regardless of your background or education👩🎓. ✔️Don't be afraid to throw it out there and see what "sticks". Cassiy started her first business, a print-on-demand shop, on her phone. She didn't need a lot of money or resources to get started. ✔️Take the 1st Step. It took Cassiy ONLY a little over 12 months to build her print-on-demand business into a full-time income. She didn't give up. She kept working hard. ✔️Use your unique skills and experiences to your advantage. Cassiy's background in sales and customer service helped her to be successful in her businesses. Connect and build relationships.The reset will follow. ✔️Invest in mindset. Cassiy read self-help books and took online courses to learn more about business and entrepreneurship. She also invested in her YouTube channel to reach a wider audience. Pursue your dreams (even when your confidence is in the toilet). Keep it moving🚶♀️, we are ALL capable of our own version of greatness 🏆

Hot take, you know me. This is a cool post, really happy for Cassiy and I wish her nothing but luck. What these articles never tell you, though, is how many bills went unpaid for how many months and how much life she might have missed out on in the process. We just don’t know, because it’s always cleverly excluded from the story. We also don’t know who’s parents gave who what money or if maybe she lived at home or any of that. It’s not mentioned because the coolest story gets the views. Am I discounting her or how hard she worked? Nope. But this “grind culture” that these types of posts try to promote often lead to more problems than you expect, and “passive income” is the most misleading term you could ever toss around. I started working for myself this year and it has been absolutely brutal behind the scenes. To everyone around me, I’m paying the bills and waking up at 10am and doing what I want. To my wife, I’m staying up until 3am working on sites sometimes then getting up at 8am to present them. I’m stressed, I’m scraping for money because I lost my 6-months saving, and I’m exhausted. Is it worth it? I hope it will be. But I’ve also been building this skillset behind the scenes for a couple of decades and I’ve never been more ready. TL;DR: stop comparing yourselves to these people and thinking they’ve got it so good and you could too with a little hard work. The new American dream is exhaustion.

If you’ve been laid off read this. Here’s a few fun side hustles to bring in some extra cash while you job search: 1. Rover - Take care of dogs for some extra cash, ~$50/day, I have a few friends doing this now and they love it 2. Flip furniture - I’m a huge fan of flipping furniture because when I was an EMT, making $21/hr, this is what I did to rake in some extra cash, ~$1k/month maybe more if you really want to go hard on it 3. Flip collectibles (shoes, cards, etc) - This ones slightly higher risk, but I raked in ~$100k in revenue in a year. I joined a “cook group” that told me what would resell. I also did this as an emt and absolutely loved it. I also get a sh*t ton of credit card points off of it. The economy is a sh*t show right now. Especially the tech industry. But there are other ways to make money while you job search. These are just a few fun side hustles I had experience in. What other side hustles would y’all recommend for our tech community trying to survive right now?
