·5 months agoList, promote, list, promote...and promote more....then list more...then followup with promoting! And I don't necessarily mean by paying for PL %, I mean social media, YouTube, you need to set yourself apart and draw in customers. Then you keep them by having good listings with plenty of details & pixs, ship quickly, provide free returns with any and all apparel...its a lot of work...and a lot of failure

You asked how to reach a bigger audience. Listing more items is certainly one way. Strong keyword titles also matter. Use all 80 characters if possible. My personal rule is no fewer than 75 characters. That one extra keyword could be what puts your listing in front of the right buyer.
Avoid fluff and subjective terms like “rare,” “nice,” “pretty,” or even “new."
Take good photos. Your main photo should stand out. If dozens of sellers are listing the same item, make sure your photo looks different enough to catch a buyer’s attention instead of getting lost in a sea of similar listings. Crop photos properly so buyers can clearly see the details of the item you’re selling.
Make sure your descriptions are accurate. Your description tells the story of the item, and your photos illustrate that story. Assume some buyers will only look at photos, while others will only read the description. Be honest and thorough with both.
Buyer-friendly policies can also help. Accepting returns — even if the buyer pays return shipping — may make some buyers more comfortable purchasing from you.
You can also promote your listings, but make sure you fully understand how promoted listings work before using them. Otherwise, you could end up with an unpleasant surprise and take a major loss.
When the sell-through rate is inversed — meaning demand heavily outpaces supply — many of the standard reselling rules start to go out the window. In those situations, buyers will often find the item regardless of whether the title is perfectly optimized, the photos are flawless, or the listing checks every “best practice” box. This brings home the point other posters made: Sell items that people want. The truth is few sellers have an endless supply of items that are always in demand. If you are going to be an 'everything' seller, you will have a mixed demand items. Some will be fast movers, some will be long tail, and some will never sell. Then, there is everything inbetween. You have to work with what you have access to. Think outside the box. Learn. Knowledge is your friend. Ask questions when you are unsure or need clarification, but nobody can hold your hand. Accept you will make mistakes and that's okay. Learn from them.

·5 months agoList more items. The more you list (good quality items at decent prices) the more you are likely to sell something.

·5 months agoCurrently you have a total of 3 listings: a pair of white shorts for $65, a pair of gray shorts for $60 and what would appear to be 3 pairs of shorts in assorted colors for $42.
Is that correct? Plus none of the listings mention the fabric content.
Is "Fear Of God" a well-known brand?
