I have mentioned in the past that I have been wanting to diversify income and have been working on different side income avenues to do so. Some of those haven't gone as smoothly as I hoped and others have started to take off. One of my businesses has recently started to really grow and I have been investing a lot of time each week - sourcing, listing, pricing, etc. Don't get me wrong, I really love what I am doing but at the same time I haven't been able to keep up on blogs as frequently the last few weeks.
My free time during the evening has been spent in front of computer working on my resale business. I have spent a lot of time learning the ins and outs and identifying what the right things to sell are. My business sits on the Amazon platform and is geared towards books, cds, and toys. I knew Amazon was big but I had no idea just how big and now much traffic it has, amazing. At the same time, I am also trying to keep up on Ebay sales as I continue to declutter my house. I admit, my decluttering has been heavily focused on just my clothing right now because everything is now way too big and I need to get warmer weather items out before the season is over and nobody wants them. I will be buying a whole new wardrobe come fall, I'll have no choice! Right now I can get away with fewer items but that isn't going to last into colder weather. Never mind that I will need a new jacket and coat as well. Still you will hear no complaints from me!
My sales in the last 30 days across all my side income pursuits is about $630 profit. Not too shabby. I certainly wasn't seeing this even a few months ago. I'm excited to see where this goes and how long I continue to love it as much as I have been. That will be telling to me as far as how sustainable it is. I feel for certain that I can stick it out through the holidays and am hoping 4th quarter sales will inspire me to keep at it if I start to lose motivation by then.
