Getting Ready for Your Live Whatnot Sale

It is time to get ready for your first Whatnot live sale! Many resellers are surprised by how quickly Whatnot Sales sets up, hosts, and ships things. So, here are five easy steps to set up your Whatnot sale:

  1. Go to the app and click the + sign in your profile. Select “schedule a live show” from a little pop-up menu. Set a category, name your show, and post a promotional photo or video for your auction. 
  2. You will stock your shop next. While optional, each item should have a cover photo and a strong title. Measurements are voluntary, but a description is. The estimated weight of each item is needed to determine shipping charges. 
  3. You can add “buy it now” items to your store to sell without auctioning. 
  4. You can make listings for any things you want to give away during your show.
  5. Save and share your application as it finishes. Whatnot has a “stories” feature like Instagram for messaging followers. 

Note; You will be able to interact with and talk to your live audience, getting feedback, product ideas, and maybe even song requests in real time.

Like any platform, Whatnot has Pros and Cons. It is safe since Whatnot handles buyer-seller interactions. Since the software manages everything from buying to wrapping, fraud and scams are unlikely. Even though you have to watch to buy, many of us think live streams are too much. Whatnot doesn't allow you to choose not to chat or listen when buying.

Is It Possible to Earn Money on Whatnot?

The correct response is Yes!

The answer is that Whatnot works best for those who sell a lot. You can make a lot of money with Whatnot and the "fast flip" business plan if you have a lot of cheap things to sell. When you buy something cheaply and then sell it quickly, even if you don't get the best price, this is called a "fast flip."
