Yesterday, I shipped my last item from the recent Carousell 13th Month Sale. I had fun cleaning my room, preparing items for sale, and uploading photos of my pre-loved items. More than making money out of this side hustle, I consider my Carousell shop to be a learning lab of sorts.
Here are a few lessons I have learned so far:
Taking photos of items is a lot of work, but it is a journey back in time. Seeing my pre-loved items reminds me of the memories I’ve made with each item, and how tactile moments can be.
This selfie was an accidental snap as I was taking photos of my items for sale!
People online can be mean and rude. It is up to me as the seller to extend my patience. It is also rewarding to encounter nice and understanding customers.
Lastly, I learned that I have way too much stuff! Decluttering has been healthy and relaxing. I look forward to selling more and using more of what I have. Indeed, life is too short, and we don’t need that much to live on!
Support me by buying from my Carousell shop! Thank you and hope to see you there!
