TIP TUESDAY ALERT + Announcement
New video is live below! The angle today is how to improve appetite/interest during your live show by doing 'more of this, less of that...' Try to have fun while you're selling, it helps you stay in a creative groove and boosts engagement. 😎 Announcement: Our private Whatnot show for October will be Thur 10/29, plus there is an incentive to join free this month for new initiates, please read on 👁️🫦👁️ How is that for a heads up? I'm getting better..😂 We have a scrumptious Sterling + VTG rhinestone jewelry cocktail lined up for all Premium & VIP Skool members for Thursday, October 29th at 8:00 PM EST. The PRIVATE LINK will be emailed to you on Wednesday the 28th from my email: [email protected], please check spam or DM me if you don't receive it! Now what's the incentive? If you are a NEW Premium registrant between now and the 29th, I will refund your first month membership fee. Simply DM me your PayPal or Venmo info with a message stating "I signed up, Playboy" (or similar silly comment) and I will send you $19 forthwith. Then, if you find this is not what you had in mind or you weren't able to steal something of great value at the private monthly event, simply cancel at any time and move on with your life, and I sincerely appreciate you trying it out! 🫶🏻 I've had some wonderful private conversations with members recently and I love helping people either get on track or stay on track. You certainly don't have to be a Premium member to talk shop with me, but know that I sure do appreciate it. I will always try to get to everyone. If I miss a DM here or there, send me another on a different platform or zip me an email. November is going to explode on Whatnot with a flurry of new accounts, both buyers and sellers, and I know Whatnot has major celeb collaboration in the works which will drive significant traffic over black Friday/cyber Monday weekend. Schedule your shows NOW!! 📈📈📈 This is written with infinite appreciation and gratitude, and fondly NOT with the help of any AI,

Really frickin’ good advice! I’m absolutely guilty of all those things. It’s sometimes like a deer in headlights for me. Oh wait shoot I have people in here! “Oh look at this super cute bracelet…” Thanks for the input. It’s nice to hear someone say it and talk about it because then it runs through my head when I’m live and makes me second guess what comes out of my mouth, or I could at least make fun of myself when I notice it. I am a terrible BS artist so I have to find ways to be genuine and still keep interest so I can actually sell it. I’ll get there. Keep handing out the advice. I’m soaking it up!
Tough Skin
Sometimes it takes tough skin. I work very hard in this business and when someone gives me 4 stars across the board without any explanation. It is a bit upsetting. I gave her a great deal on a nice piece of jewelry and didn’t even use one of my recycled boxes, I shipped next day. I wrote a handwritten Thank you in the packing slip. (I did not leave gifts in the box.) I guess it’s not enough for some. I am Open to criticism. I guess I need to add cute extras to packages? I did write a “soft note” asking for suggestions or preferences. I guess I can’t make everyone happy. ( She apparently has not been around whatnot long by the looks of her account. ) Not feeling like I am having tough skin at the moment.

It is frustrating and it happens everywhere. I received a 4 Star rating from a customer on Etsy because she thought the purse she purchased “would be bigger”. Umm size stated in listing, pictures with measuring tape etc…. How is your inability to read or look at pictures my fault? Ooo I was hot about that one for days. Wait, maybe I still am… You know you did what you could and your other reviews will show it. Not sure if it’s consolation but it’s the truth. :0)
Entertainment Sells
I had to share this video, despite Bradley feeling cringy when he sees video of himself. This video is an example of why entertainment is an important part of selling on Whatnot. I believe Brad pulls in so many buyers not only because of his great products and infinite Knowledge, but because he is absolutely entertaining. A buyer leaves his show not just remembering the beautiful brooch they just snagged, but because they had fun while buying it. And that ladies and gents will be what makes them come back. Enjoy Brad’s reenactment of his favorite scene in The Mummy. All the goods! Product, price, personality, and excellent camera skills. Loved this! Christa. PatinaPastPurpose

The listing states it’s Jade “hued” which suggests to me the color of Jade. But someone could misconstrue it as Made of Jade.

I have a successful Whatnot seller account in which I sell vintage fishing tackle. I started using it to liquidate my late father’s horde of a collection. It’s gone beautifully! I had to create a second account PatinaPastPurpose to sell my favorites, costume Jewlery and vintage decor. But I can’t get viewers to save my life. I have a couple of Whatnot friends (VTH, Thrifted) who have consistently popped in. I appreciate them to no end (although they make me nervous…lol) but I can’t get other people to stay for more than 2 seconds. I’ve tried soooo many things. Memes, consistent thumbnails, tags, titles, items in my shop, different times of day and night, Whatnot promotes (don’t get me started on that). You name it. I can’t get more than 4 people in a show for more than 60 seconds, and frankly that has only happened twice! I have set up and ran 30 shows this summer and my highest show was $162. It was one woman snapping up $2 brooches for an hour. Had great conversations with her, (as much as you can w/chat) she was a lovely lady, and I appreciate her immensely, but I just can’t keep doing the look on the bright side BS anymore. I’m irritated. I sell successfully other places, (ebay, Etsy) but I love Whatnot’s format: When it works… So, rant out of my system now, I have decided to take a Whatnot sabbatical. At least on the stuff I love, gonna keep on keeping on with the fishing stuff. No more selling on PPP until I feel like I can take the abuse again. What does this mean to you lovely people? Nothing really, I just needed to vent. I appreciate the forum to do so and wish you all the best of sales! See y’all in the chats!

@Labelle Designs thanks for your comment. It is painful to hear the discussions about prices people paid. I try to set up what I know I can win or lose in and not have to worry about it. Accepting the concessions etc.
