20:17:10 From Julia Test : I have nightmares too and I am not the one recording! 20:17:36 From Pauline Mayse : great 20:18:46 From Pauline Mayse : ✅ done 20:20:11 From Lindsay : Hi! Alison hasn’t said anything about a business email address or anything. What’s the best way to go about that. G Suite? 20:20:18 From Julia Test : Mention Chinese New Year is coming up I forgot to remind on the last one!!! 20:20:21 From Jen Summers : Did anyone have a hard time finding the FB groups on homework #5 20:20:35 From Jenny Karlovich : I'd love to hear more about the mecari algorithms 20:20:40 From rebeccamillard : There was a question on FB that didn’t get answered yet. If we purchase a product and it comes from a wholesaler with their branding, or another brand, can you take those off and put your own branding on it or would you get in trouble for that? There was a lot of confusion about that. 20:20:42 From Schleicher, Kim : Mercari info would be great 20:21:23 From Julia Test : I use Gsuite for all of them except Elizabeht she uses gmail still 20:21:31 From Heather : If the wholesaler offers images to use...is it best to still take your own or is it ok to use theirs? 20:21:37 From Luchia Willows-Keetley : I've had a hard time applying to Market places as they don't accept businesses in Australia. Any other suggestions. 20:22:15 From Mirna Cantu : Hi Leslie! Lots of questions packed here, sorry! I want to make sure I understand everything correctly. I filed for an LLC a few weeks ago and I got my EIN, is that the sales tax number? Should I be getting my Certificate of Formation on the mail? Also, my county didn’t know what I meant by Business License? 20:22:38 From Lorelei : Can we purchase products from wholesalers on Amazon and resell them? 20:23:07 From Julia Test : Yep I will do it right now!!!! 20:23:16 From Terri Schmidt : I’m not familiar with marketplaces…if you have three styles of a single product, do you promote them all together and then have buyer select one, two, or all three? How do buyers make selections in marketplaces? 20:23:33 From Jim Carter : How much should we test a product before we pivot to another product to test? 20:24:27 From Jen Summers : i was wondering if they have different names on the fb groups now 20:24:40 From guillerminamartin : yes 20:25:31 From rebeccamillard : I had to go back to the live she did and find the links, I couldn’t just search for it and find it. 20:25:35 From mollie Callanan : Are we supposed to a website? Tundra asked me when I inquired about their products? 20:26:26 From tjromriel : I've been on this website, but I couldn't figure out how you sell on them. 20:26:34 From Sarah : sorry that was meant for everyone 20:27:11 From Jen Summers : thank you Leslee! 20:27:41 From Cathleen Hays : How do people pay you on fb groups? Paypal ? 20:28:30 From Julia Test : Yes on most FB groups you must send a Paypal invoice, some allow you to invoice from shopify with the paypal option. 20:28:56 From Jen Summers : so these groups are where you would sell your stuff, right? 20:29:33 From Julia Test : Yes these groups are great for selling in. 20:29:49 From Sarah : so on the boutiques you have to charge shipping? you can’t do “free shipping” like Alison suggested? 20:31:42 From guillerminamartin : Faire doesn’t accept Facebook only. I was denied for not having my website. 20:32:27 From guillerminamartin : That was just FYI 20:34:49 From Sloan : I have been trying to sell products around my house and its been time consuming to take pictures, create STARS and post on all the marketplaces, and I’m not getting any sells. Should I by pass marketplaces? Or try a product with several qualities rather than stuff around my house? 20:36:26 From Sloan : quantities* 20:36:42 From Sarah : I need to work on my pictures but I looked at some of their pictures and I thought they need Alison’s lessons lol. But I noticed they used pic collage. Do you suggest that? also with earrings and bows would you do one set per picture? 20:38:06 From Julia Test : Sarah for the main pic they want a pic that will get people to stop scrolling then in the comments list each item individually with the quantity you have 20:40:12 From Julia Test : Oh yes absolutely batch photos..take them all, edit them all then post as you can 20:40:18 From rebeccamillard : Would it be problematic to go back to an already listed item and edit it to raise the price and then offer free shipping? 20:41:38 From Cathleen Hays : Is there a charge for "promoting" on Mercari? 20:42:09 From Julia Test : I always purchase a ton on Mercari...its super dangerous for me. 20:42:33 From Julia Test : Promoting on Mercari is usually lowering the price by 5 or 10% 20:44:24 From Kim S : Awesome tips! Thank you! 20:44:29 From Lori Legg : these are great tips honestly 20:44:43 From Cathleen Hays : Thanks Julia 20:44:55 From Sarah : I pretty much have one of everything I’m trying to sell. That feels like a lot of pictures 20:45:38 From Lori Legg : that’s funny I thought the same thing 20:49:23 From Lis De Fraga : Mercari charges 10% for completed sale plus 2.9% + $0.30 fee for payment processing fee 20:49:49 From Lis De Fraga : Poshmark charges a flat 20% fee for completed sales 20:49:56 From Mirna Cantu : I tried to register with Pick your Plum and got stuck on the business license page. I already filed for it and received a “Packing Slip Receipt” by email. I am supposed to get something on the mail? I didn’t what to add there. Sorry! I know we’re talking about other stuff but I feel really stuck 20:50:46 From Pauline Mayse : on Mercari you can sell used and new products we are testing 20:50:47 From Jenny Wevers : When a deal site is calculating the percentage of your sale that you owe, do they calculate it on the entire sale amount including shipping or just on the product? 20:50:51 From Julia Test : Mirna upload that and then when you get the official one email a copy to them. I just had to so it with My TN license. 20:51:16 From Mirna Cantu : Myself 20:51:35 From Kim S : I sold my first item on Mercari two days ago. Super excited. I have had the item listed on Poshmark with the same pics for a year and no sale. Made me think of the 5 P's, they work 20:52:52 From Heather : If the wholesales offers pics that can be used is that a good idea or best to take your own? 20:52:56 From Lis De Fraga : Kim S: the audience on mercari & Poshmark are so different. I sell on both and different people like completely different things. It’s amazing 20:53:25 From Kim S : Thank you Lis De Fraga! 20:54:05 From Lis De Fraga : Kim S: I do make way for sales on Poshmark 20:55:22 From Julia Test : For PYP they do the sale amount for the percentage and they just started taking a small percentage out of shipping. That is why I always put some of the shipping in the price 20:55:28 From rebeccamillard : Can I re ask that question from above? There was a ton of confusion on FB about a wholesaler product arriving with some type of branding. Can we remove that and use our own branding? There were mixed responses to the question. 20:55:29 From guillerminamartin : Hoe do we know if the wholesaler let you use their pictures? Do we need to contact them and ask? 20:55:37 From Pauline Mayse : awesome 20:55:39 From Lis De Fraga : Kim S: I am only selling secondhand clothes and shoes that I find on Goodwill at the moment with and over 90% gross profit margin 20:56:28 From Sarah : it’s new stuff it’s bows and earrings I’ve made before being introduced to this program. I’ve attempted a “boutique” it’s basically a Facebook group that isn’t going anywhere so I want to try putting this stuff on these other sites. I jumped in head first and bought a ton of stuff at craft stores. This way of running a business is a whole new ballgame for me so I want to get all this sold, get my money plus some hopefully back so I can jump in the way Alison is teaching us to do it. at craft 20:56:45 From Julia Test : Rebecca most wholesalers do not allow you to remove their tags. If you want to put your branding on them look for white label products that allow that. 20:57:18 From tjromriel : I ask the vendor before I use their pics and then I usually cut off their heads so I don't get in trouble. 20:57:49 From tjromriel : **The models head in the picture! 20:58:11 From guillerminamartin : Thanks tjromriel!!! 20:58:56 From Lorelei : Hi Leslee! Sorry if my question is off topic. I am looking for products to test, is it okay to purchase them from wholesalers on Amazon? 21:02:52 From Jenny Wevers : I received a product from China that has multiple items in a package. The outside package says Made in China, but the individual packages do not. When I repackage, do I need to put a Made in China on the package? 21:03:23 From Sarah : also are there pros and cons Etsy vs Shopify? 21:03:40 From Holly Perona : Hi. If we purchase beads with inspirational words on it from craft stores….is it okay to use that in jewelry to sell? Or do we need permission from the company to do that? 21:04:50 From Lorelei : Thank you!! 21:06:33 From Lindsay : Okay, so this is the first im 21:06:58 From Jenny Karlovich : If you are assembling a diy craft kit and 1 out of 4 of the components are made in China do you need the sticker anywhere 21:07:11 From Lindsay : Okay, So this is the first I’m hearing about the made in china thing. All my products are coming from China, so I have to have a label saying that it’s made in China?? 21:08:13 From Julia Test : Lindsay it will likely have the label already. If it Is say earrings that your putting on a new card then yes you will need to have something on the bag or card that says made in china. 21:08:43 From Luchia Willows-Keetley : Most of the market places don't accept Australian businesses. Any other market place suggestions for internationals? 21:08:48 From Sarah : do I need to have the made in China with the stuff I’ve bought locally but was probably made in China or if I bought pendants from Amazon to make earrings do I need the sticker? 21:09:21 From Sloan : This is off topic but I’m still working on getting my domain (From week 1 homework) - if the URL I want is taken by the brokers at Go Daddy should I do a .co or .org ? Advice? 21:09:50 From Jen Summers : Such great advice tonight, thanks so much Leslee! 21:09:53 From rebeccamillard : Sloan, try adding words like “the” “shop” etc before going with a .co. 21:10:27 From Sloan : Rebecca - It already has “the” in the name. And I removed “the” and its taken as well. Would you add “Shop.xyzname” or “shopxyzname" 21:10:28 From Mirna Cantu : Hi Sloan! I am on the same boat. I ended up doing .shop because I liked how it went with my business name 21:10:59 From Julia Test : Sloan I just had that issue and I added shop to in front of the name and it was available in .com 21:11:58 From Jenny Karlovich : Ok, that sounds good. thanks 21:12:18 From Kim S : Thank you so much Coach Leslee! 21:12:20 From Sloan : @Julia did you add any punctuation between shop and your name? Or just ShopXYZ? 21:12:20 From Mirna Cantu : Thank you so much Leslee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 21:12:26 From rebeccamillard : THANK YOU LESLEE!! 21:12:28 From Sarah : this has been super helpful THANK YOU 😊 21:12:32 From Julia Test : nope just shopname.com 21:12:32 From Yvette Cueva : Thank you!!!! 21:12:34 From Jim Carter : Thank you for all you !o Leslee 21:12:36 From guillerminamartin : Thank you!!!!!!! 21:12:36 From Shellie Pullar : Thank you so much!! 21:12:39 From Holly Perona : Thank you Leslee :) 21:12:42 From Luchia Willows-Keetley : Thank you so much Leslee!!!!! 21:12:44 From tjromriel : You are sacrificing your time as well!
