00:00:00	00:00:04	so as we've covered in other videos you
00:00:02	00:00:05	don't want to drop ship on platforms
00:00:04	00:00:08	like
00:00:05	00:00:10	ebay amazon or mercari right because
00:00:08	00:00:12	it's really tough to
00:00:10	00:00:14	you know stay drop shipping on there
00:00:12	00:00:15	within the terms of service
00:00:14	00:00:17	long term and keep your account up and
00:00:15	00:00:19	not get suspended right
00:00:17	00:00:20	but we've covered specific marketplaces
00:00:19	00:00:23	where you can get away with
00:00:20	00:00:24	retail drop shipping if you list ahead
00:00:23	00:00:26	of time
00:00:24	00:00:27	and then get the products you know and
00:00:26	00:00:29	order them afterward
00:00:27	00:00:32	to your house or your location and then
00:00:29	00:00:35	ship them out it's kind of a mix between
00:00:32	00:00:36	arbitrage and drop shipping and it gives
00:00:35	00:00:38	you the benefit of being able to list
00:00:36	00:00:40	those products ahead of time
00:00:38	00:00:42	and acquire the sale and the profit
00:00:40	00:00:44	before you ever even need to spend any
00:00:42	00:00:46	money on inventory
00:00:44	00:00:48	or store it or anything like that right
00:00:46	00:00:49	so it works on sites like poshmark and
00:00:48	00:00:51	we've covered that i'll make sure to
00:00:49	00:00:52	drop a full tutorial of that
00:00:51	00:00:54	down at the bottom of the description if
00:00:52	00:00:56	you want to check that out later as well
00:00:54	00:00:56	as facebook marketplace which is another
00:00:56	00:00:58	place
00:00:56	00:01:00	that you can also drop ship like this
00:00:58	00:01:02	and i will link that tutorial
00:01:00	00:01:04	same overall strategy just on a
00:01:02	00:01:05	different marketplace at the bottom of
00:01:04	00:01:06	the description as well
00:01:05	00:01:09	and today i want to cover doing that
00:01:06	00:01:11	same literally the same strategy on
00:01:09	00:01:13	offer up now
00:01:11	00:01:15	full disclosure offer up is not the best
00:01:13	00:01:17	marketplace out there right
00:01:15	00:01:18	it is up and coming it looks promising
00:01:17	00:01:20	there's a lot of opportunity on it and
00:01:18	00:01:22	i've been testing it a lot lately
00:01:20	00:01:24	and seeing that there's promise there
00:01:22	00:01:26	right and you can make drop shipping
00:01:24	00:01:27	sales and you can also use offer up in a
00:01:26	00:01:28	number of ways to sell items that you
00:01:27	00:01:30	already have
00:01:28	00:01:32	arbitrage-wise right so if you have like
00:01:30	00:01:35	you know items from cashback or coupon
00:01:32	00:01:36	or liquidation sites and stuff like that
00:01:35	00:01:38	or just you're looking for like you know
00:01:36	00:01:39	a little bit of side money and you kind
00:01:38	00:01:41	of want to turn some of the things
00:01:39	00:01:43	around your house that are bigger or
00:01:41	00:01:45	even if they're smaller
00:01:43	00:01:46	and you want to you like another site to
00:01:45	00:01:48	actually list them and potentially get
00:01:46	00:01:51	more sales offer up is a great place now
00:01:48	00:01:51	two bad things about offer up first and
00:01:51	00:01:54	foremost
00:01:51	00:01:54	is you can't list from the computer
00:01:54	00:01:56	which
00:01:54	00:01:58	obviously sucks because if you could
00:01:56	00:02:00	list from the computer it would go
00:01:58	00:02:02	like so much faster so you have to list
00:02:00	00:02:03	from the actual app which is what i'm
00:02:02	00:02:05	going to show you here in a second
00:02:03	00:02:06	the second bad thing about offer up is
00:02:05	00:02:08	that you can't actually use a
00:02:06	00:02:09	multi-channel listing software
00:02:08	00:02:11	right so one of the multi-channel
00:02:09	00:02:12	listing softwares that i recommend is
00:02:11	00:02:14	list perfectly okay
00:02:12	00:02:16	and that has so many different benefits
00:02:14	00:02:18	i plan on creating a tutorial of how i
00:02:16	00:02:19	use lists perfectly to list on many
00:02:18	00:02:20	different websites
00:02:19	00:02:22	basically there's two ways that i use it
00:02:20	00:02:24	i either post the listing
00:02:22	00:02:26	and on to list perfectly and useless
00:02:24	00:02:28	perfectly to post it everywhere
00:02:26	00:02:29	which is like poshmark ebay mercari
00:02:28	00:02:30	grail
00:02:29	00:02:32	like all of those places because you
00:02:30	00:02:33	might as well list them everywhere if
00:02:32	00:02:35	you're already if you're it's the same
00:02:33	00:02:38	exact time spent on your part
00:02:35	00:02:39	but with list perfectly specifically you
00:02:38	00:02:40	can't actually list the offer up it
00:02:39	00:02:42	won't list the offer up because it
00:02:40	00:02:44	doesn't work on the computer you have to
00:02:42	00:02:46	list it from the app okay
00:02:44	00:02:47	and so that's the two drawbacks of the
00:02:46	00:02:50	platform
00:02:47	00:02:52	now what i do recommend is test this out
00:02:50	00:02:52	it's not going to have as high sales
00:02:52	00:02:54	velocity as
00:02:52	00:02:55	ebay or poshmark or probably even
00:02:54	00:02:57	mercari
00:02:55	00:02:59	but it is another place that you can
00:02:57	00:03:00	list your items both arbitrage
00:02:59	00:03:03	and drop shipping like i'm just about to
00:03:00	00:03:05	show you here and get more sales now one
00:03:03	00:03:07	of the benefits of this is that it
00:03:05	00:03:08	doesn't seem like there's that much
00:03:07	00:03:09	competition
00:03:08	00:03:11	on here compared to the other
00:03:09	00:03:12	marketplaces right if you list on amazon
00:03:11	00:03:14	you're competing with a lot of people
00:03:12	00:03:15	if you list on ebay you are competing
00:03:14	00:03:16	with a lot of people same thing with
00:03:15	00:03:18	poshmark same thing with
00:03:16	00:03:19	with uh mercari and same thing with
00:03:18	00:03:22	facebook marketplace although
00:03:19	00:03:24	not as much as the other ones offer up
00:03:22	00:03:25	i've notiked when i post it literally
00:03:24	00:03:27	goes to the home page and
00:03:25	00:03:28	they're like sitting there like all day
00:03:27	00:03:30	so it doesn't seem like you're competing
00:03:28	00:03:32	with as many people and you have a
00:03:30	00:03:33	different buyer on offer up okay so with
00:03:32	00:03:35	that being said let's just hop into the
00:03:33	00:03:39	tutorial and i'll show you exactly how i
00:03:35	00:03:41	drop ship on offer up from my phone
00:03:39	00:03:42	now because you're on your phone you
00:03:41	00:03:44	have to actually
00:03:42	00:03:45	list something ahead of time now you
00:03:44	00:03:47	could have amazon
00:03:45	00:03:48	up and you could be listing from amazon
00:03:47	00:03:50	and kind of doing this
00:03:48	00:03:52	you know on your phone and saving the
00:03:50	00:03:52	urls on your phone what i recommend that
00:03:52	00:03:55	you do
00:03:52	00:03:56	is you list somewhere first whether
00:03:55	00:03:58	that's ebay
00:03:56	00:03:59	or poshmark or mercari or somewhere like
00:03:58	00:04:01	that right
00:03:59	00:04:02	and then take the listings from that
00:04:01	00:04:04	site like i'm going to show you with
00:04:02	00:04:06	poshmark here as an example
00:04:04	00:04:07	and list them from your phone from that
00:04:06	00:04:08	site to
00:04:07	00:04:10	offer up because then you'll already
00:04:08	00:04:12	have all the all the description
00:04:10	00:04:14	all the specs potentially all the
00:04:12	00:04:16	information
00:04:14	00:04:17	and all the pictures right so now here
00:04:16	00:04:19	we are on my phone
00:04:17	00:04:21	and you just want to start didn't mean
00:04:19	00:04:22	to do that and you just want to start
00:04:21	00:04:24	taking the pictures right so you want to
00:04:22	00:04:26	take screenshots of the pictures
00:04:24	00:04:27	and i'm literally doing that by holding
00:04:26	00:04:29	the
00:04:27	00:04:31	let me figure it out right here i'm
00:04:29	00:04:34	holding the up volume button on an
00:04:31	00:04:34	iphone as well as the uh the lock screen
00:04:34	00:04:36	right
00:04:34	00:04:38	so you just take these screenshots and
00:04:36	00:04:41	then you drag the thing down so that you
00:04:38	00:04:41	get the pictures
00:04:41	00:04:45	hit done and obviously you can do this
00:04:43	00:04:47	fast and i don't necessarily recommend
00:04:45	00:04:49	like spending a lot of time on this but
00:04:47	00:04:51	what i have been doing to test it out
00:04:49	00:04:51	especially for my resale university
00:04:51	00:04:53	course because
00:04:51	00:04:55	i'm always testing new theories new
00:04:53	00:04:57	strategies and new websites for you know
00:04:55	00:04:58	the students in my course to give them
00:04:57	00:04:59	the best ways that they can actually
00:04:58	00:05:00	make money reselling
00:04:59	00:05:02	if you're interested in that there's
00:05:00	00:05:03	actually a free 10 minute video down in
00:05:02	00:05:04	the description that's linked
00:05:03	00:05:06	it should be the first link in the
00:05:04	00:05:08	description that will cover how resale
00:05:06	00:05:09	university can help you
00:05:08	00:05:11	make money obviously with several
00:05:09	00:05:11	different forms i think there's seven or
00:05:11	00:05:14	eight now
00:05:11	00:05:15	uh in the actual course of reselling if
00:05:14	00:05:16	you're you know you want you're looking
00:05:15	00:05:17	for a little
00:05:16	00:05:18	little bit of side money it's going to
00:05:17	00:05:20	help you if you're looking to scale your
00:05:18	00:05:22	reselling business up it's also going to
00:05:20	00:05:22	help you both sides of that spectrum are
00:05:22	00:05:24	covered
00:05:22	00:05:25	in depth with a number of different
00:05:24	00:05:27	business models it'll give you a number
00:05:25	00:05:28	of different sites it will also show you
00:05:27	00:05:30	different ways that

00:05:30	00:05:32	as give you a demo
00:05:31	00:05:34	a quick demo of the back end of the
00:05:32	00:05:36	course and show you countless examples
00:05:34	00:05:38	of other people that it's also helped so
00:05:36	00:05:39	first link in the description for a
00:05:38	00:05:41	quick 10 minute video that will show you
00:05:39	00:05:43	all of that it's 100 free
00:05:41	00:05:44	uh but what i do do is i test this out
00:05:43	00:05:46	and i've been seeing that it's working
00:05:44	00:05:48	well for me and getting me sales lately
00:05:46	00:05:49	and that's why i recommend that you also
00:05:48	00:05:51	test it out
00:05:49	00:05:52	and see what works well for you now
00:05:51	00:05:54	clothes like i'm listing here
00:05:52	00:05:57	haven't really been working that well on
00:05:54	00:05:59	offer up but cash back items or coupon
00:05:57	00:06:01	items and some random liquidation items
00:05:59	00:06:03	tend to sell a little bit better right
00:06:01	00:06:04	so like random things that are more
00:06:03	00:06:06	impulse buys
00:06:04	00:06:08	sell well on offer up in my experience
00:06:06	00:06:10	and then clothing obviously sells better
00:06:08	00:06:12	on like mercari and poshmark
00:06:10	00:06:13	and ebay and places like that okay you
00:06:12	00:06:15	can still sell clothing and i think i
00:06:13	00:06:17	sold like one or two pieces of clothes
00:06:15	00:06:19	but the other things sell a lot better
00:06:17	00:06:20	or at least they had the past couple
00:06:19	00:06:21	weeks since i've been listening
00:06:20	00:06:24	and basically what i do is like when i'm
00:06:21	00:06:25	doing cardio and i'm just trying to kill
00:06:24	00:06:27	time i'm testing this out
00:06:25	00:06:28	but since it's been working pretty well
00:06:27	00:06:30	and it seems like there's a different
00:06:28	00:06:32	kind of buyer on offer up that might not
00:06:30	00:06:34	necessarily be on all the other places
00:06:32	00:06:35	i do plan to test this a little bit more
00:06:34	00:06:37	heavily and i will definitely report
00:06:35	00:06:38	back with the results but just like the
00:06:37	00:06:40	tip of the iceberg
00:06:38	00:06:42	looks super super worth it so i'm going
00:06:40	00:06:44	to take the rest of these pictures
00:06:42	00:06:46	really fast for my poshmark listing
00:06:44	00:06:48	and i'm going to finish listing this and
00:06:46	00:06:51	this listing right here i actually don't
00:06:48	00:06:53	have all the uh i don't actually have
00:06:51	00:06:54	this piece of inventory like stored away
00:06:53	00:06:56	this is not a liquidation item this is
00:06:54	00:06:59	not a cashback item this is a drop ship
00:06:56	00:07:00	item on poshmark that i have the uh
00:06:59	00:07:02	listing on
00:07:00	00:07:04	amazon already saved on my computer and
00:07:02	00:07:05	then when somebody orders this i see
00:07:04	00:07:06	that at the bottom of the description
00:07:05	00:07:08	like i'll show you here in a second
00:07:06	00:07:09	it's the same way i approach the
00:07:08	00:07:11	poshmark drop shipping it's the same way
00:07:09	00:07:12	i approach the facebook marketplace drop
00:07:11	00:07:14	shipping and then i order that from
00:07:12	00:07:15	amazon it comes to my house in a day or
00:07:14	00:07:16	two and then i ship it out to the
00:07:15	00:07:18	poshmark customer
00:07:16	00:07:20	and what that lets me do is it lets me
00:07:18	00:07:22	insure the profit margin usually it's
00:07:20	00:07:23	between like five and 20 bucks depending
00:07:22	00:07:24	on the item
00:07:23	00:07:26	usually it's probably more more times
00:07:24	00:07:28	than not it's like five to ten bucks
00:07:26	00:07:30	uh but it's like free money essentially
00:07:28	00:07:31	because all i have to do is list
00:07:30	00:07:34	and then i use my automation software on
00:07:31	00:07:36	poshmark to share and it brings me in
00:07:34	00:07:37	sales and extra free money without ever
00:07:36	00:07:39	having to like
00:07:37	00:07:41	go out and source inventory ahead of
00:07:39	00:07:42	time right so it's all risk no rewards
00:07:41	00:07:46	all risk
00:07:42	00:07:47	sorry it's it's little risk all reward
00:07:46	00:07:48	and like i said i'm testing it but it
00:07:47	00:07:49	still works well for me and it's perfect
00:07:48	00:07:52	for beginners
00:07:49	00:07:53	that need some extra side money so let's
00:07:52	00:07:54	finish up
00:07:53	00:07:56	i'm not gonna actually grab all these
00:07:54	00:07:58	pictures just for the sake of the demo
00:07:56	00:08:00	but obviously i would
00:07:58	00:08:03	if i were actually listing this well
00:08:00	00:08:06	there's one more so let's just grab it
00:08:03	00:08:07	and this item actually sells pretty well
00:08:06	00:08:09	on poshmark for me
00:08:07	00:08:11	i think i've sold a couple of these
00:08:09	00:08:12	already and now i'm simply going to take
00:08:11	00:08:15	the
00:08:12	00:08:16	we go into edit this listing and i take
00:08:15	00:08:17	the
00:08:16	00:08:19	title and now we're going to create the
00:08:17	00:08:21	listing and so now that we've already
00:08:19	00:08:22	taken all the pictures that's usually
00:08:21	00:08:25	the hardest part of anything so i'm just
00:08:22	00:08:29	going to post all these in here
00:08:25	00:08:31	and then the title hit next
00:08:29	00:08:32	and now we need the description so
00:08:31	00:08:34	you'll see here
00:08:32	00:08:35	number seven this means that this is the
00:08:34	00:08:38	seventh listing
00:08:35	00:08:39	in my actual uh on my amazon url so i
00:08:38	00:08:40	know when somebody orders this and it
00:08:39	00:08:41	says seven on the bottom of the
00:08:40	00:08:43	description
00:08:41	00:08:44	i'm gonna go into my dropship folder
00:08:43	00:08:47	click on seven it's gonna take me to an
00:08:44	00:08:48	amazon url i'm gonna buy that item and
00:08:47	00:08:49	then i'll mark that down and that's how
00:08:48	00:08:50	i approach it
00:08:49	00:08:52	it's really really easy to keep track of
00:08:50	00:08:55	inventory that way and it works
00:08:52	00:08:57	very very well so subcategory this is a
00:08:55	00:08:59	woman's sweater
00:08:57	00:09:01	uh it is new i'm not gonna put the brand
00:08:59	00:09:03	in there size type we're gonna say
00:09:01	00:09:05	it's regular now one of the ben like one
00:09:03	00:09:07	of the great things about like a site
00:09:05	00:09:08	like poshmark is you can list multiples
00:09:07	00:09:09	you can't actually do that when you're
00:09:08	00:09:12	listing clothing on offer up
00:09:09	00:09:13	which is another you can't list multiple
00:09:12	00:09:14	quantities or
00:09:13	00:09:16	multiple sizes unless you want to do
00:09:14	00:09:18	multiple listings right so it's similar
00:09:16	00:09:19	to mercari in that way
00:09:18	00:09:21	which is obviously a drawback of
00:09:19	00:09:22	clothing but that's also why i recommend
00:09:21	00:09:23	that you don't really do this with
00:09:22	00:09:25	clothing
00:09:23	00:09:27	on offer up specifically maybe do it
00:09:25	00:09:29	like cash back or coupon
00:09:27	00:09:30	or other drop ship items that are like
00:09:29	00:09:32	trinkets or like
00:09:30	00:09:33	household things that you use right not
00:09:32	00:09:36	necessarily clothing
00:09:33	00:09:37	again for that reason right so it looks
00:09:36	00:09:39	like i have
00:09:37	00:09:41	um where is it let's go to the available
00:09:39	00:09:43	quantity i've listed a bunch of these
00:09:41	00:09:45	so i'm just going to list like um that's
00:09:43	00:09:47	brand i'm going to list like media or
00:09:45	00:09:48	let's go large for the sake of showing
00:09:47	00:09:50	you here
00:09:48	00:09:51	paste the description in and then bam
00:09:50	00:09:57	and now the price
00:09:51	00:09:59	is price is 45
00:09:57	00:10:01	and i make the great thing about this is
00:09:59	00:10:04	if you look right here it's
00:10:01	00:10:04	the price is 45 and i make 36 net profit
00:10:04	00:10:05	here
00:10:04	00:10:07	so obviously it's probably probably cost
00:10:05	00:10:10	me like 20 or 25 bucks to order this on
00:10:07	00:10:12	amazon so i probably am solidifying like
00:10:10	00:10:14	a 10 to 15 profit margin but the great
00:10:12	00:10:15	thing about doing it on offer up is
00:10:14	00:10:16	you're pretty and you can also click
00:10:15	00:10:18	this
00:10:16	00:10:20	uh firm on price thing as well so if you
00:10:18	00:10:21	want to stay firm on price for a drop
00:10:20	00:10:22	ship listing that's probably beneficial
00:10:21	00:10:24	for you because you can't really don't
00:10:22	00:10:26	really have that much wiggle room
00:10:24	00:10:27	um but if not if it's like a coupon
00:10:26	00:10:29	product or a cashback product and it's
00:10:27	00:10:30	like all potential profit margin
00:10:29	00:10:32	you can click this off and take offers
00:10:30	00:10:35	on it okay but
00:10:32	00:10:36	one of the benefits is yes it's a 12.9
00:10:35	00:10:38	uh fee but you can also charge for
00:10:36	00:10:40	shipping and your margin is a lot higher
00:10:38	00:10:43	than on poshmark because poshmark
00:10:40	00:10:44	takes a 20 fee whereas here you're
00:10:43	00:10:46	taking a 12.9
00:10:44	00:10:47	fee so if you sell it here or you sell a
00:10:46	00:10:48	drop ship listing on on facebook
00:10:47	00:10:49	marketplace
00:10:48	00:10:51	you're going to make a lot more than if
00:10:49	00:10:53	you would on poshmark but obviously
00:10:51	00:10:55	poshmark has higher sales velocity
00:10:53	00:10:57	and sales volume and i get more sales on
00:10:55	00:10:58	poshmark right so i'm not going to
00:10:57	00:11:00	enable buy now here
00:10:58	00:11:02	on offer up because i don't want to like
00:11:00	00:11:04	take offers on like something lower i
00:11:02	00:11:05	want to have the option
00:11:04	00:11:07	to check my price make sure i'm so
00:11:05	00:11:08	profitable before i actually accept the
00:11:07	00:11:09	sale
00:11:08	00:11:11	so i'm going to say firm on price i'm
00:11:09	00:11:11	not going to have enabled the buy now
00:11:11	00:11:13	thing
00:11:11	00:11:15	and then i'm just going to say small and
00:11:13	00:11:17	then i'm going to post it
00:11:15	00:11:19	and bam that's how you list on offer up
00:11:17	00:11:21	now it does take like i said a little
00:11:19	00:11:22	bit longer especially if you watch the
00:11:21	00:11:25	last tutorial
00:11:22	00:11:28	x out of this really fast
00:11:25	00:11:30	stop this recording and so it does take
00:11:28	00:11:31	a little bit longer
00:11:30	00:11:33	uh if you watch the last tutorial you'll
00:11:31	00:11:34	see just how fast you can list on
00:11:33	00:11:36	poshmark with that extension that
00:11:34	00:11:37	literally steals all the no that's a bad
00:11:36	00:11:39	word like copies all the pictures and
00:11:37	00:11:39	downloads them right to your downloads
00:11:39	00:11:41	folder
00:11:39	00:11:43	so you can list on poshmark with drop
00:11:41	00:11:45	ship listings like super super fast
00:11:43	00:11:47	and then obviously with lists perfectly
00:11:45	00:11:47	you can take those drop ship listings
00:11:47	00:11:48	and just
00:11:47	00:11:50	send them all over to facebook
00:11:48	00:11:51	marketplace which also works very very
00:11:50	00:11:53	fast
00:11:51	00:11:55	you can't do that with offer up you have
00:11:53	00:11:58	to actually take them directly to
00:11:55	00:11:59	uh from from your your phone which does
00:11:58	00:11:59	take a little bit of time but it will
00:11:59	00:12:01	give you
00:11:59	00:12:03	access to a different market a different
00:12:01	00:12:04	buyer and a different place to
00:12:03	00:12:06	potentially make sales so i wouldn't
00:12:04	00:12:08	make this your be all end-all
00:12:06	00:12:09	but it is another tool and like always
00:12:08	00:12:11	i'm just trying to give you more tools
00:12:09	00:12:14	to make more sales and help you make
00:12:11	00:12:15	more money so i hope you like this video

00:12:18	00:12:20	as
00:12:18	00:12:21	any of these tutorials right like don't
00:12:20	00:12:23	take my word for it
00:12:21	00:12:25	go test it out you will see that it
00:12:23	00:12:25	works and that will inspire you to do it
00:12:25	00:12:27	more
00:12:25	00:12:29	and scale it up so with that being said
