How To Start a Fashion Resale Business
Have you ever wanted to work or do something in fashion but didn't know what to do or how to get there?
Maybe you're not a creative and can't design or style. But have you ever thought of the business side of fashion?
Have you ever wanted to have a boutique or a consignment/retail store, or an online store?
Well, there is no better time than now to start a fashion business whether it be resale, consignment or a boutique.
With technology and the prevalence of the digital space, online business, phone/tablet apps, and e-commerce, you can totally do this!
And PS - you don't even need your own website!
Because of the social concerns of sustainability and saving the environment, the resale and secondhand industry is one that is THRIVING and growing and a multi-billion industry.
According to the Thredup 2016 annual report, the resale market is a $14 Billion dollar market (in 2015), and is projected to be a $25 Billion, yes Billion, with a B, market.
So it is time to get in and cash in on this growing industry!
In this course, I'm going to show you how EASY it is to start a fashion resale business. You can start it as a side hustle or make it a full fledged, full time business.
I'll talk about how I generated sales of $60K (after resale platform fees) in the last 3 years, doing this as a side hustle, while maintaining a full-time job in the first year, and then maintaining another business in the last two years, while traveling the world!

Join me as I show you how to start this side hustle or grow your existing resale practice/hobby to become a full-time business!
