Did you know you can get paid to shop? By frequenting the thrift store and getting rid of the clothes in your closet you never wear, you can make lots of money. Here are some tips on how to turn reselling clothes into a full-time job.
Pick an Aesthetic
To set yourself above other resellers, you need to have a clear picture of your brand. The customer needs to be able to understand your personal style to continue shopping your looks.
Variety is Everything
The clothing you sell doesn’t need to be designer; it should be a mix of vintage and things that are new with tags. Shop your local thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets, and eBay.
Pay Attention to Photography
Make sure you get your clothing from all angles and that you capture the details that make each item unique. Your background should be the same in all the shots and you can use yourself our your friends as models for the clothes.
Think Profit
You’ll make money by selling an item at double or triple what you spent. Don’t expect to make back the retail price for an item and be aware that some retail sites require you to pay transaction and shipping fees.
