After taking the initial step, start clearing out your closet! From clothing to home goods, so many people are looking to buy. Take pictures of what you want to sell, write a description, set your price and post! Similar to other apps, there is a social aspect as well. You, as a “posher,” can follow other seller’s closets, ‘like’ other items, and comment!

After one year on the application, I’ve made over $3,000. It’s not hard to make money through Poshmark if you make an effort. Sharing your closet will help bring your items to the top of the search list. Thousands of sellers have multiple items on the platform. Therefore, I share my items multiple times a day. Second, posting more items will increase chances of someone purchasing your items!

Now, take a few minutes, look in your closet and start posting!
