Back in January, I put together a 2021 vision board. It is my screensaver on my laptop. I set high goals attempting to balance happiness and success. By keeping it on my laptop, I am able to look at it every day. There is a way to make it a screen saver on your phone but I have yet to figure it out.
I built it using vertical categories in columns, business, personal, financial, travel, and family. The first category is business. On top is eBay with a goal of $31,000 gross sales for the year. I am on track to meet that goal and surpass it. Beginning July 1, 2021, I made $17,000 in GROSS sales on eBay alone.
I also stopped and started and stopped and started a YouTube channel about thrifting. What I discovered is YouTube is time-consuming and more work than it seems on the surface. Currently, I have 300 subscribers. YouTube success demands consistency. Consistency and time. YOU must have both to succeed on YouTube.
I want to open a shop on Etsy filled with downloadable printables. Once you design the printable and upload it to Etsy, the income is basically passive. This has not happened yet. It is a project that I circle back to monthly and am spending time creating cute and interesting printables.
TikTok. Do you TikTok? While I was recovering from shoulder surgery I had a lot of free time on my hands. TikTok was a welcome diversion from the pain of shoulder surgery. Before too long the pain was getting better and I decided to start a TikTok for my cat Gary and was able to learn the ins and outs of filming and adding music etc to my videos. As a side note, there is a lot of valuable information on TikTok.
Then I started a different Tik Tok channel about thrifting. It is a social media platform that I still enjoy and add to daily. I have made virtual friends and met thrifting friends at estate sales and garage sales. One TikTok friend and I go to estate sales regularly. I currently have over 5000 followers on TikTok and hope to grow it to at least 10,000 with 30,000 as the BIG goal for now. ( my TikTok is @happygirlthrift)
In the next vision board post, I will discuss the next column, "Personal". Have you ever put together a vision board? This is my first digital vision board. It took me a bit to figure it out but with the help of YouTube, it was pretty easy.
Here is the LINK to Part Two
You know I have thought of doing a channel also, but I know it would take away from my sewing and that is where I truly make money, so it really dos not make sense. I guess going for a passive income stream a you tube channel is not the way to go. But I love that fact that you flip things and find that so interesting.
ReplyDeleteNo, YouTube is really not passive. The successful creators put in a lot of time but they make it look so easy! lol.
DeleteCongratulations on achieving your Ebay goal!
ReplyDeleteYoutube is a lot of work. DH tried to get me to do Youtube, but I told him it's way too much work. I'm better off listing some items online in the time it takes me to make a video and hope I get enough subscribers so I can get paid. I'm probably the only person who has never visited Tik Tok, but I'll check out your channel :)
Some people are naturally gifted in making YouTube videos. It's a struggle for me lol. TikTok can suck you in and become a time suck in itself. Be careful!! lol
DeleteI keep seeing videos on Tik Tok and have no idea where to go for it all the time. I just happen to click on something interesting. Everything I see is so interesting. If I had my chickens, still, maybe that would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteTikTok can suck you in! If you still had your chickens,they would definitely be TikTok famous.
DeleteThat is an amazing result on your eBay sales! Nicely done. As someone who dabbles, seriously impressive.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have been lucky to find a few high dollar items at next to nothing. You just never know what people are looking for and willing to spend.

I finally was able to conceive a child of my own the year 2019 after 5 years without any issue. this really was the worst thing ever. It was a miracle that indeed shocked me. because i was left with no option but to use a Herbal Health Concoction that was prepared from Herbs to help my Immune. I got to find out about this from someone, and i talked to the direct source about my problem. He`s name is Priest Babaka and He told me how some necessary few herbs will be useful as to women`s health and recovery and He had to do what He knows best. He sent the Herbs to me and gave instruction on method of use. this all happened and i really have been able to say i`m glad God did this.
