The fastest way to multiply money?
It might be reselling.
That is, buy low, sell high, repeat.
Keely Stawicki started reselling when she was just 12 years old, flipping a horse saddle on Craigslist and making $100 profit.
Fast forward 15 years--and more than $270,000 in sales--and reselling is now her full-time gig. Today, Keely focuses mostly on vintage goods, clothing, and furniture--all items in great demand right now.
Reselling is a business model we keep coming back to because it checks some of the boxes for an awesome side hustle:
- Anybody can do it
- It doesn't require a huge upfront investment
- It’s quick to get started and see results
If this sounds like a side hustle you’re interested in, listen in to hear Keely’s top tips for sourcing profitable inventory, the types of products she sees doing well today, and where she lists and markets her items for maximum exposure and profitability.
