Struggling to Make Ends Meet: Month 5 Part 1 of my Online Flipping Journey




It has been five months since I lost my job due to the pandemic, and I have been trying to make ends meet by flipping items online. As the months have gone by, I have learned a lot about the ins and outs of the online marketplace, and I have seen some success in turning a profit.

In the beginning, I started off small, selling items around my house that I no longer needed. This allowed me to make some quick cash and gain a better understanding of how the online selling process works. As time went on, I began to venture into other areas, such as thrift stores and garage sales, to find items that I could sell for a profit.

One of the challenges I have faced throughout this journey is finding quality items to sell. Oftentimes, I have to sift through a lot of junk before finding something worth flipping. However, I have learned to trust my instincts and do my research to ensure that I am getting a good deal.

In Month 5, I decided to focus on electronics and collectibles. I spent hours scouring online marketplaces and local listings to find items that were in high demand. I was able to score a vintage video game console for a steal and quickly sold it for a significant profit. Additionally, I found a limited edition collectible figurine that I was able to sell for three times what I paid for it.

Though I have seen some success in Month 5, I have also faced some setbacks. I had a few items that didn’t sell as quickly as I had hoped, and I had to lower the price in order to move them. This taught me a valuable lesson about being patient and flexible when it comes to pricing.

Overall, Month 5 has been a mixed bag of successes and challenges. I have learned a lot about the online selling world and have seen some profit from my efforts. As I look ahead to Month 6, I am excited to continue honing my skills and finding new ways to make money through flipping items online. I am confident that with hard work and determination, I can continue to succeed in this new venture.

    I saw you sold a 1970s original banked wrapped roll, did you just find that roll in a random penny box.

    You've stopped telling us how much you bought the items, sounds cool when you say you sold this for that much and that for this much, but how much did you make after shipping, fees, and the price you paid for them?

    Awesome video! It is very important for any person to find something to strive for and fight for no matter what the circumstances. Once you set the right goal for yourself, making decisions will be easy and fun. What used to seem like an excruciating chore will turn into an enjoyable activity. Go where your labour will be needed! Go where there is money and where your work will be decently paid! Sooner or later you will have to co-operate with people of different nationalities and cultures. To make your business successful, you should learn a foreign language. I would like to recommend to you Yuriy Ivantsiv's workshop "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips on learning foreign language". This book will help you to structure and organise your individual language learning process, will give you the opportunity to independently determine the methodology of language learning, which will become interesting and unburdensome. In this amazing book everyone will find a lot of useful information: how to learn foreign languages, how to memorise information, how to deal with culture shock, what to pay attention to when travelling to another country. I am convinced that the book "Polyglot Notes" should be in the bag of every business person, school and college student, and tourist. The most important thing is that the book gives a good motivation. Don't be afraid to do something to realise your dreams! If people realised that fears have no connection with reality, everyone would live a much better life. Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video. Your videos motivate me and give me new ideas!

    You get soooo many red flags from buyers but you ship anyway. Time to break that habit. Hagglers are dangerous!

    Random piece of advice. I engrave stuff. I include an image of the engraving in the picture. It helps keep faulty returns away. sometimes a legit return, at least you can see its your item lol.

    Another great video. Man I can't wait to get a car back on the road to source items again. I only get to go when my better half isn't working and I can take her car.

    Do you really think that thin layer of small bubble wrap is going to protect anything durning shipping. Ship next day, protect your merchandise for shipping and charge for shipping.

    I love these videos because some of it can apply to me in real time. I can't help but notice how unhappy you seem now. I hope things get much better for you.
