I had a question recently about how things are going on Poshmark. I guess my answer would be … slow but steady? But, yeah, slow. Here are how my sales have played out for the last several months:
July – 4 Poshmark sales
August – 15 Poshmark sales
September – 26 Poshmark sales
October – 24 Poshmark sales
November – 34 Poshmark sales (SO FAR…)
Up until this point my goal has been to average at least one sale per day. This is the first month I have actually hit that goal (and I still have a week and a half left to go in the month). The biggest reason I finally hit my goal is that at the beginning of the month I sent out offers to likers on every! single! item! in my closet that had any likes on it. It took a couple hours of my time, and resulted in 9 sales that day, which was definitely my highest sales day yet.
My daily PM routine is to:
~ crosspost at least 5 items from eBay
~share to parties as appropriate
~send offers to likers on any newly liked listings
~try to share my closet a bit at a time as time allows
I am able to do all of the above quite consistently, it is rare I miss a day. I have pretty much stopped making a specific effort to follow new people and share other people’s closets. From what I read and hear it seems like sharing my own closet should be the priority. Sharing my own closet often results in new likes on my items, which prompts me to send an offer to the liker, which occasionally results in a sale.
Who else is selling on Poshmark? How have things been going recently for you? Do you have other tasks you focus on that bring in the sales? What are your monthly sales goals? I would love to hear about them!

November 21, 2019 at 3:26 pmI really love the ease of listing on Poshmark. I don’t typically sell a lot of clothes because decent brands are almost non-existent where I live. I have sold a few vintage items on Poshmark though. I think there is a chance that we will be moving to a much larger area soon, and I am more than willing to look for more clothing items. 🙂 I have listed a few non-clothing items on Poshmark but have not sold any yet.

November 21, 2019 at 9:35 pmPM does make listing easy, and although their fees are higher I like knowing exactly how much money will be coming my way when I accept an offer.
I started listing items in the home category back in August (mostly baby blankets, some plush), and I just looked at my past PM sales and I have sold 14 items from the home category so far. There is often a lot less competition with these items, so I have sold some for higher prices on PM than I would have been able to get on eBay where the market is more saturated.

November 24, 2019 at 7:11 amIt still feels like my PM sales are trickling in, but when I look back to where I was in July (with only 4 sales for the entire month) I can see that progress has been made …. it somehow just never feels like enough.
