Do you think 10 per day sounds unattainable? I promise you, it is not. A member of my challenge team listed 55 items in ONE DAY! Here is a question from a HCTS member about it…

My biggest struggle is listing. I worked ALL day yesterday while kids were in school and only got 8 done. I am so frustrated with myself. Everything was done for the items(still a ton more left) pics,editing,weighing-all I had to do was list.Why am I sooooo slow???I don’t know how some of you can get so many done.sigh……….

I have been there. Now I can list 10 per hour, if everything is done beforehand. Here’s what I do:

1)Have pictures completely done, items bagged, and everything (including a tape measure, drink, etc) for listing set up on the table. I have a shopping bag on the floor beside me. On a side note here, if your pictures are not bright and crisp, do not move forward. You can only use my minimal description method if you have GOOD pictures.
2)Take your items and group them in like item sets. You can do it by brand: Gap, Boden, Land’s End, or size: kids 7/8, mom’s 10, or type of item: skirts, books, etc. It saves a lot of time when you are listing to go from one like item to another.
3)Start listing. I keep my description short, but I think I included EVERYTHING that is essential. I have a kind of template in my brain…2-3 sentences per listing. It goes like this:
:descriptive word: :brand: :item: in :size:. (Insert a sentence here IF there are any unique qualities or flaws). In :condition:.
Measurements.
You can look at my listings here-pretty much all of my listings follow this format.

I usually sell between $750-1000 with very minimal effort using this system.
