    Great job! You are an inspiration to me. I sold three items on ebay today. Celebrate ALL the wins. 😁

  • @coolhandsouk1574

    Take aways: 1. Get confident with your numbers asap. Know what you’re spending and know what you’re netting. 2. Face some of your fears to make some sales that are outside of your comfort zone. 3. Streamline as much as possible. This will make working a little easier.

    Awesome job. Over a quarter of a MILLION dollars. Huge accomplishment. Congrats!

    Girl, confidence should be your middle name. You are not only gorgeous but super knowledgeable and smart. There is no reason for you not to be confident! I love being a stay at home mom and to watch your success really pushes me! I am have been selling for 4 months now but Amazon really intimidates me. I am trying to get myself going there now. Knowledge is the key, the more we learn from you and others, the greater our chance of success is. Thank You and I hope for your continued success.

  • @clearingclutterforclarity1508

    Great work, Ashley! You’ve mentioned in the past that you’re shy, but with what you’ve accomplished one would never know!
    You always have good information to share and I always think, “If only I could go and learn how she does it! I need to see her bookkeeping process.”
    I’m not into reselling as much as I used to be years ago but am working on getting back into it.
    So, if you are ever willing to meet up I would be SO happy! 🤗 Just putting it out there!
    Keep up the great work!

Don’t know what you feel shy, you’re a beautiful successful woman, who can comunícate and express yourself so well on camera. I definitely could not do this CZcams thing like you do. But I’m growing my eBay store and getting my feet wet on Amazon. Thanks for sharing great content!

  • @flowerfriend
    @flowerfriend Před 5 lety

    Congrats on 20k! I still haven’t ventured into the world of Amazon, but I started reselling my old stuff on eBay in January and just started up on Poshmark. I wish I’d had enough business sense years ago to begin reselling as a hobby, because I’ve passed on so many goodies while I was out and about because they weren’t my size or I just didn’t know what I’d do with it.
    Now that I’m shipping out a few items every week, I realize I could have been doing this for years! Your videos are such great motivation, thanks for taking the effort to film and upload 💕

    Thank you for this! You're honest and straight forward content has helped me a lot. I'm just starting out in eBay (almost at my 90day babysitting period). Thankfully my kids (9,13) love to help me source items It's made a great opportunity for bonding through the treasure hunt of thrifting and soon garage/estate sale. You're truly an inspiration and I'm trying to get my wife to follow your channel so she can add to the sourcing (can't seem to bring myself to look through the ladies section 😂). Keep up the great work

    Hi Ashley, thanks for telling your journey.
    A few questions:
    1. How did you organize your business and what bookkeeping system do you use?
    (Do you keep track yourself or use an accountant/bookkeeper?)
    2. Have you experienced any issues with eBay's Good Till Cancel (GTC) feature as described in another eBay seller's video? (I think his name is Pete in Crystal Lake, Illinois.)
    3. Where do you store everything?
    Thank you and we all look forward to your future videos!

    Awesome news!! You are so inspirational and you give me that extra motivation that I need!! We are in our first year reselling. We have had a few off and on breaks but I am dedicated now to start back working hard at it!! How do you keep track of your books and records? I'm thinking about starting a spreadsheet and sit down and enter in all of our records over the last year and then from now on, I'll post investments there as soon as I make them and well as maybe a monthly sales record or maybe even weekly. Also do you do separate book keeping for the different platforms that you sell on? Thank you so much for the amazing content!

    Do NOT be hard on yourself. You are fantastic. Gorgeous, sweet , smart. I ❤️ this vid. Exactly my thoughts. I’ve spent since April learning learning learning. My new model in 2020 is more selective buying. No more buying great stuff just to make a few $. I am a retired teacher and have a small home. Right now it’s full of awesome items that when they sell will only make a full $. I’m not looking for lots of money but just don’t want to waste my time and space. Lol. Thank you and keep doing what you’re doing. You are very successful.

    Can you make a video about how you thrift shop? When you decided to stop and look things up? When you decide to pass on an item even though it’s a nice brand.
