Selling online

Selling online is often the fastest way to generate your first side-hustle money. Start with unused household items before buying stock or building a resale workflow.

Starter workflow

Photograph items in daylight, write honest descriptions, price slightly below similar sold listings, and post quickly after payment. Good reviews matter more than squeezing every last pound from the first few sales.

  • Batch photos in one session
  • Measure clothing and shoes
  • Use tracked postage for higher-value items

Kelly's tips

Do not overcomplicate it. Ten clean listings today beats a perfect spreadsheet and no listings. Track fees and postage so you know the real profit.

  • Start with Vinted for clothing
  • Use eBay sold filters for pricing
  • Avoid fragile low-margin items at first
