Poshmark
As some of you know, I have started selling on Poshmark as part-time since the end of July. In these five months, I have learned so much from the fantastic community, and I am still learning, but I want to share with you what I quickly learned in the first two months that might help you save time as you start your journey on the Poshmark. So I created a quick list of tips that will help beginners succeed and help cut back some significant research time. These are things I wish I knew from the start. (Once again I am not an expert, I only been selling for five months on the app)
*If you like to try out the app Use my code Jackieoxo and get $5 for just signing up!
1. It’s indeed a social app: Yes! Poshmark's is a social app you need to be active. You can’t list items and then forget about it. Everyone talks about this, but most people who start Poshmark have no clue about this until maybe a week or a month of their items not selling and realizing that the sharing button is important.
2. Sharing and following: I should have made this into two separate categories, but I combined them since they are so important and go together. You need to be sharing your close! That’s the way people will see your items. Poshmark has no tricks; There is no algorithm like Instagram. As long as you share a listing, it will always show up in the just resent shares. You don’t need many likes or comments for it to show up on there. It is also vital that you be sharing other people items this sometimes lead to them re-sharing your items with their followers who are potential buyers. That’s why it's important to follow people or have people follow you back they could be prospective buyers or lead to them.
3. Pictures: Pictures are so important on postmark! Your cover shot needs to be nice this is what attracts people to the item. Having that good cover pictures will bring the customer to see the rest of the images in the listing. The rest of the photos should be taken in good lighting where you can showcase the whole item, and it will help show if there might be any possible flaw with the garment. Having good lighting in your photos will help make the customer know what they are getting and not have to do the whole guessing game. When it comes to bad pictures they might, think they are taking a risk and end up passing on the item. Also, good pictures help when you get a cased open against you.
4. Titles: Titles are also important because this can catch a customer’s eyes too. I would recommend the following Formant: (Is it new. What Brand. The Actual name of the item.) It’s very important to find the actual name of the item when it goes to a certain brand. People tend to look up the name In the search bar its easier for them to find what they want. If you can’t find the name, don’t sweat it, but there is place that can help. I’ll go over those in my next blog post.
5. Descriptions: Another one of those essential items when listing on Poshmark. Describe as much as you can so people know what you are selling, and if the item has any flaws, please be sure to mention that in this section. I would include measurements in this section too since most likely you will get asked.
6. Research: Doing research on your item is so important! Take some time and google the item or look up the brands website, of the item you are trying to sell. You can at times find out the actual name of the item, original price, and stock photos. You can also do this research on Poshmark and see how much the item is going for or how much it sold for. I know at times it’s hard to know where to start when it comes to doing research so I also recommend joining some Facebook groups the people on there are so helpful and knowledgeable. (future post coming up, about how to look up items easier.)
7. Supplies: Okay this is my favorite tip! And I so wish I knew this from the first time I even created an account on Poshmark. You can get free shipping boxes from the post office, and basically not have to be hunting down old amazon boxes to ship out items you sold. You just need to go into your local post office and see if they have the priority boxes. Make sure they are the right ones, you can double check the size on Poshmark. You can also order them online and they do take time to get to you so I always order mine ahead of time.(Tip I keep hearing from experience resellers get those boxes early they tend to run out during the holiday season) If you feel confterbal investing in an items for your shipping supplies I would recommend The poly mailers from Upaknship ( not sponsored) they give your business that extra little touch that shoppers enjoy because they're not just receiving a box but that is totally up to you. I also like to add tissue paper and cards for my packages. When it comes to tissue paper I get it from costco they have a grat deal on it right now because of the holidays, I also get my tape from them. I recommend just keep checking your store's many great deals right now because of the holidays.
These are my tips I wish I would have known during the start of my poshmark journey that would have made it so much easier for me so I hope they can help you on your journey on Poshmark . I am still learning, trying out stuff and collecting information major thanks to the poshmark community for always sharing information. if there are any other info you like to know or maybe see some tips missing please let me know down below.

Hi everyone!
I know it’s been a hot minute since I have written in this blog! My last post was about me doing Poskmark. Yikes! I have already been doing that for 4 months.
What basically happened was during the summer, July into August I got hired at a new job. That lead to me doing many interviews and testing, aka ruing around like a chicken without a head. When I finally settled down at my new job, a whole new mess started aka doing my job: Meeting parents learning the way things are done at the school and what expected of me. It was a little too much for me so I took a small break from blogging and Personally I just need to step back from Instagram and refined myself and my joy for it.
During the break from blogging and a day off from work we decided to take a quick weekend trip to Las Vegas. We hit up the casinos, ate good food, gambled and then drove off on a 4-hour drive to the Grand Canyon, and let me just say it was amazing if you have ever been debating visiting I say go for it!
So In a quick summary I been MIA because I started an entirely new job and I am still trying to find my footing, but now I feel like I'm more in the zone and can't wait To get back into writing on here.
Hope you enjoy a couple photos of my Vegas trip!

selling
Have you ever bought an item and only wore it once, or just kept saving it for that special occasion that just never came. I am the first one to raise my hand. The first time I realized this was in college when I bought some boots and just left them In my closet for five months and realize I would never actually wear them. So that lead me into finding ways of selling them. That’s how I found out about Poshmark the first time around. If you don’t know what Poshmark is, a simple and fun way to buy and sell fashion.

So I did end up selling my boots and at a good fair price. To sell through Poshmark you do give them a 20% from the selling price. A small fee to make sure everything goes smoothly. After selling those boots I forgot about the app. When the time came for my spring trip to Europe, my sister and I notice how much stuff I actually had. Many things that I could not return we decided to give it another run.

Officially this month we decided to truly dive into the world of Poshmark, and it’s been fun but also a major learning curve. I have been cleaning out my closet and finding many pieces I forgot that I even owned. The other benefit is making some extra cash for pieces that were just hanging in my closet.I would recommend you try out Poshmark if you’re in need of, one cleaning out your closet, or if you just have items you never seem to wear.

Here is my last post of our trip to Spain, this took a little longer to post but here it is. We spent a week in Madrid, as some of you know its where my brother currently lives. My sister, mother, and I actually have gone before, its one of our favorite place in Europe. But this time we got to bring our dad along to this beautiful city.
The cool thing about visiting Madrid is that the city offers so much to do but it also its very easy to visit surrounding cities by a short train ride. That's actually what we did! We visit Segovia and El escorial, both places were amazing as you could see from the pictures. On top of that I got to celebrate my 26th birthday in the lovely city eating amazing food! Enough of my explaining I'll show you with pictures and the short video I made.
(PS: This video will be missing music in one section! yes, I got copyrighted. :) )
