005: What To Do When Your Item Isn't Selling

Shownotes:

Finally! You buy something and post it up for sale.

You know you're going to make a profit and successfully flip it — hands down!

Days pass… Weeks pass… Next thing you know — your item is just NOT selling!

No texts. No phone calls. No emails.

Why aren't people buying!?

What the heck do you do when you post something up and it's just not selling? Just not getting any bites?

Well, when something is not selling — it's not the market's fault — it's yours.

You are 100% responsible for the sale.

So here are 6 things you must check to guarantee your item will sell.

If your item is not selling — go through these 6 things and it will SELL!

1. Check the website

2. Is the category correct?

3. Improve the description. Improve and enhance your ad copy.

4. Check for mistakes. Make sure your ad doesn't sound 'spammy'.

5. Check pictures — quality and quantity of photos.

6. Re-post to get back to the top of the list.

It doesn't matter what your item is. Remember that everything sells and if it isn't selling then at least one of those 6 points will fix it.

Go through them all and start making money!

Quotes:

"I always recommend people post their items on every channel every website possible."

"Make sure your ad doesn't sound spammy. A lot of people overlook this. Try and make it sound conversational, like there's a human on the other side."

"Sometimes the small details makes a big difference. And people's ability to trust you, and trust that you're not some scam artist, or some random guy from Nigeria trying to get your credit card details."

"Your item should be presented in the best light possible. You should take photos from multiple angles. You don't want blurry, dark, crappy photos where you can barely see the item."

"I see so many ads out there with terrible pictures.These are actually money-making opportunities for you. You could pick those items up. You can buy them. You can take better pictures and post them for more and make more money just by enhancing the pictures alone. Okay, so Secret #5 is make sure your pictures are top of the line."
