HOW TO BECOME A PRO POSHER — A 5 STEP GUIDE TO ACE AT POSHMARK
By: H. Khan
Tags: E Commerce Business, Online Shopping, E Commerce Solution, E Commerce Market, Poshmark

Poshmark — for those of you living under the rock — is an interface for buying and selling clothes and accessories; for men, women, and kids It is not a surprise that people all over the US are joining the Poshmark rage and selling their clothing through the e-commerce model that allows people to trade with ease. Many are even transforming it into full-time work and introducing their own boutiques.

To be an efficient posher in this competitive environment, the first step is getting complete knowledge of how the apps work; the algorithms, features — everything. The basics include:

1. Listing items for sale, which means listing down the items you want to sell. It is really that easy. The only hard work you have to do is to take quality images and combine them with nifty descriptions that compel the seller to click the purchase button.

2. Attending a posh party, which are virtual events to get to know the customers and other poshers better and a chance to flaunt your riches!

Now with the basics out of the way let’s dive into the real tips and hacks that will assist you in standing apart and increase your sales by multitudes!

WHY AESTHETIC LISTING IMAGES MATTER?

Maybe that’s what you’ve been doing wrong this whole time — not working hard on the aesthetics! Here’s the deal; if your listing image isn’t appealing to the eyes — no one will even visit your listing. Let alone thinking of buying it.

IS IT ALL IN THE DESCRIPTION?

So now you’ve got people to visit your listing, the next step is to make them stay and convince them in buying your item. Mention the necessaries of the item; manufacturer, measurements, any side note, etc. Address their pains and explain how your product is going to help them ease their discomfort.

You can also make your pitch stronger by adding how to style the item. Remember your description takes your item to your customer’s home!

SHARE AND FOLLOW

Make yourself a part of at least 1 share group — with other poshers — and share as much as you can. Sharing and following other poshers exposes your closet to a larger audience and is a great way of attracting sales and followers.

KEEP YOURSELF AT YOUR FEET

Be quick in answering queries and offering help to your customers. You wouldn’t want to lose them to other poshers would you?

PLAY BY THE RULES

No matter how badass you think you are, just listen to the person who said “Rules are meant to be followed” (Hey, wasn’t it actually the other way round? Shush. They don’t need to know that.)

Be mindful of the Poshmark rules to avoid any non-compliant item being placed on your list. It is what usually stops people from following your closet.

And last but not the least; BE NICE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. It goes a long way and, in this case, brings more customers and sales!

Happy Poshing!

Christmas Tree and Decorations Package India 2020
Tags: Christmas Tree, Online Shopping, Christmas Decoration, Christmas Shopping

Everyone agrees that Christmas is not Christmas without a Christmas tree. Therefore, finding the perfect tree for this celebration is no easy task. Just following a few tips can help ensure that everything goes right on this vacation. If you are looking for a Christmas Tree and Decoration items, then have a look at this best Christmas Tree and Decorations Package.

The first thing you should do is meet up with your family and decide what type of Christmas tree you want. You can buy natural or artificial trees. Both have advantages and disadvantages. An artificial tree does not require water or a lot of maintenance and can easily be stored year after year. It doesn’t exude the same fresh scent that you get from a real tree.

Also, there isn’t that much variety in artificial trees, and you don’t get the benefit of choosing a tree with your family every year. However, artificial trees do not turn brown and dry out, nor are they a fire hazard or a hazard to pets, so it is your responsibility to evaluate these before making your choice.

If you choose artificial trees, you can choose between different styles and colors. You can choose a white tree if you want something stylish and trendy, or you can go for the popular green tree and decorate it with white garlands.

Of course, you must decide on the size of the tree. Tall trees look great, but if your home isn’t very spacious they may not be the perfect choice for you. Find the perfect place in your home for your Christmas tree. Take the right steps and make sure you can get it easily into your home and down any hallways.

Get ready to go shopping after measuring the space you want your tree to be placed.

Christmas tree with colored lights and ornaments for tree decorations. This Christmas tree is intended for indoor celebrations. A complete Christmas combination(Christmas Tree and Decorations Package) !!!! This comes with ornaments for tree decorations. The tree has a beautiful figure with metal wires and green leaves, so it looks great in almost any setting. The realistic-looking molded plastic tips and PVC filling branches add a touch of sophistication and joy to your Christmas parties. It’s also compact, so it can be easily stored indoors.
Challenges faced by retailers in providing better service:
Tags: E Commerce Market, Bulk Buying, Business, Online Shopping

While the “customer is always right” mantra has held true for quite some time, the amount of power wielded by consumers has never been higher than it is right now. Customers are no longer forced to choose between just a couple of options when looking to purchase new luxury goods. Today, they have dozens. Maybe even hundreds. Not only has the number of retailers expanded exponentially in recent years, but so has the information available to customers. This means savvy shoppers tend to spend a lot of time researching their purchases — and consider the entire customer experience while doing so — before committing.

Retailers face the task of lowering prices and reducing shipping times, while simultaneously pinpointing and addressing all the operational inefficiencies that arise during day-to-day operations — such as out-of-stocks, misplaced inventory, and supplier meltdowns.

Here are some of the biggest challenges retailers face as they strive to achieve supply chain efficiency and compete with e-commerce:

1. Building fulfillment objectives around each customer

It’s easy for retailers to build their fulfillment objectives around their core customers until they begin to scale. Then the challenge becomes how to bring big picture understanding to each unique customer interaction.

2. Communicating with existing supplier networks

When retailers switch order management providers or seek out new suppliers to conserve resources in light of recent import tariffs, they need to maintain supply chain transparency to remain relevant and effective.

3. Mastering minute-by-minute inventory visibility

Only retailers know the important role reverse logistics play in getting returned inventory repackaged, repriced, and back on the sales floor (or online catalog). The sooner a retailer’s reverse logistics platform makes refurbished or resalable returned inventory visible to customers, the less chance of markdowns or retiring the returned product.

4. Using a ‘big data brain’ for strategic fulfillment

When it comes to order fulfillment, customers appreciate the option to choose between free shipping or fast shipping at checkout. Retailers can meet these expectations by intuitively identifying the most cost-effective and timely shipping option right when an order is placed.

5. Developing a self-correcting supply chain

Many retailers still use a test and learn strategy to try out new technologies. In a world where customers are increasingly unwilling to forgive retailers after a bad shopping experience, this can be risky when rolling out new applications that impact customers’ shopping experience.

Final words

Retailers need the ability to check their seasonal priorities and respond to market changes as they occur. There are many intelligent, self-correcting supply chain offerings that provide retailers with minute-by-minute data and actionable recommendations. These solutions help deliver better experiences and make it that much easier for customers to shop their brand.
Bed Shopping Online: Buying a Mattress in a Box
By: Bed Is King
Tags: Bed Shop, Bed Shop Online, Online Shopping

We buy everything online these days, from books to groceries to lingerie to, yes, mattresses. And though buying something so large and so tactile online can seem strange — is it really wise to buy a mattress without testing it first? — there are a ton of benefits to going the mattress-in-a-box route over the traditional innerspring mattress showroom experience.

.

Boxed mattresses vary from traditional innerspring spring mattresses in a number of ways. The best is probably that you don’t have to go to a mattress showroom to deal with pushy salespeople and confusing seasonal pricing in order to get your hands on one. Companies like Bed King sell beds online.

.

If you’re considering buying a boxed mattress, we talked to Tim Masters, the founder of My Green Mattress, to get the low-down on this hot new trend.

.

How supportive are boxed mattresses?

.

“Technically, you do lose four percent of firmness,” Masters says. “No matter what the bed is, you lose kind of four percent right off the top. Is it noticeable? No. Durability testing hasn’t proven it to be a hindrance to the performance of the mattresses. So the bed in the box for a brand actually works very well.”

.

How long do boxed mattresses last?

.

“It depends on the brand, but quality mattresses will last a minimum of 10 years,” Masters says.

.

Will a boxed mattress make me hot at night?

.

“The natural and organic materials used in our mattresses sleep much cooler than traditional mattresses,” Masters explains.

.

Here are a few more things to consider when picking out your mattress when shopping at a bed shop online:

.

Delivery: Traditional mattresses are hugely bulky, and getting them inside your home can require an extra set of hands and pricey shipping and delivery. Mattresses in a box are compressed and stuffed into a large box you can easily fit through your door, and most online bed shops offer free or cheaper-than-average delivery.

.

Material: Boxed mattresses can be made of a variety of materials. Most of them do not have inner springs and are instead made up of layers of memory foam, latex and other proprietary materials. It depends on which company you go with, so make sure to do your research if you have a preference.

.

Cost: In general, mattresses that come in a box are less expensive than their showroom counterparts. These companies don’t have to worry about footing the cost of rent for all their showrooms, nor do they have to worry about paying salespeople to staff them, so the cost is lower. You can get a mattress in a box starting at about R5000 depending on the brand you choose.

.

Setup: Most mattress-in-a-box companies ship their products straight to your door. And unlike traditional mattresses that are super-bulky, that’s not quite the case with a boxed mattress. All you need to do is remove the plastic, unroll your mattress and let it inflate fully.

.

THE IDEA BEHIND AWARAPN

Freedom is such a small word which encompasses a whole belief of living, thinking and expressing oneself without any rules or restrictions. When we’re young, we believe that anything is possible; we participate in our first adventures and taste freedom. Going against the rules, expressing our thoughts without any fear and taking the road not taken is often labeled ‘Awara’ by the society. It isn’t just a word; it’s a phenomenon that resonates with every Indian while growing up, whether bunking classes for the first time, to have a plate from your favorite street food corner or a small getaway with friends to travel and explore. https://www.awarapn.com/

As we grow older, exploring and creating something we love is termed overrated and we are forced to blend in the crowd. Gradually, the usual becomes the norm and setting trends seems impossible. The choice to explore yourself, create your story and narrate without any regrets is the idea behind creating Awarapn. https://www.awarapn.com/

Our team brainstormed until we stumbled upon the idea of ‘wings of style’. The freedom to design your own collection and wear what you love what Awarapn strives to provide.

How NOT to get scammed on the Internet
Tags: Scam, Online Safety, Online Shopping, Online Security, Online Business

I have an interesting story for you to read. Just the other day I was called by my bank to say someone had hacked into my bank account. Luckily nothing was stolen but this led me down the rabbit hole to find out just who these hackers from Nigeria were.

What I discovered is that you can send out emails with a redirect link that resembles clickbait for the scammer that has hacked into your laptop or device that they cannot refuse to click on. If you use free software, IP logger or Grabify this enables you to create a disguised link that takes the person who clicks on it to the site they think you are writing about but actually reveals in the back end who has been hacking into your account. In my case these hackers or spies were from Nigeria.

How was I able to find this out, well the first thing is to check to see whether the culprits had a VPN then to check to see whether the time reflected the place that showed in the back end of the platform. You can even go one step further by using a tracker to locate by IP address to locate exactly where in Nigeria they where hacking from, Lagos.

If someone sends you a photograph online and you suspect that it is not legit then go to Tineye and do a reverse image search to make sure that the image is not taken from somewhere else, like Wikipedia

Be Verified is another great site to check to see if the person you are talking to is legit or made up. There have been a lot of scams that have circulated now that most people have been shopping online.

These include The beneficiary inheritance scam, the green card lottery scam, the threatening lawsuit scam, the fake check scam, the Paypal payment password change code hack and even they would go as far as to go ahead and catch you on the romance scam and identity theft. So protect yourself. Download Surf Shark as a VPN and Dashlane as a password scrabble.

If it's too good to be true then it's probably worth investigating further before handing out your bank details, unless you have no money in the bank and want the scammer to help you out. All that said. Be savvy, and one step ahead, protect yourself and have a safe shopping experience online.

If you found this information helpful to stay safe online and would like more ways to protect yourself than follow me and recommend my article.

Piper’s Choice — Rick. Part 3-Rick
By: Tree Langdon
Tags: Self Improvement, Relationships, Fiction, Series, Piper

He woke to an intense pounding above his left eyebrow. The world spun in circles as he sat up.

“Bitch,” he muttered as he dragged himself up. Grabbing the counter, he opened the drawer and discovered the missing deposit. “Fucking bitch is gonna pay.”

He grabbed his phone and thumbed the screen, opening the GPS tracker. There was a blinking icon moving south.

He grinned, congratulating himself for installing the tracker on Piper’s phone. One by one, he cracked his knuckles slowly in a gentle dismembering. He slipped on his jacket and thought about how her shoulders would pop when he ripped her arms off.

Shuffling out to his car he eased himself in. Wincing in pain, he flipped down the mirror and inspected his forehead.

“Damn,” he sputtered, lighting a smoke. He started the engine and turned onto the highway.
Fink — look a little closely Suits Sound Track
By: Ifeoluwa Omidiji Isaac
Tags: Suits, Series, Love, Melancholy, Friendship

This is a song about somebody else

This is a song about somebody else

So don’t worry yourself, worry yourself…

First, he starts by easing himself into what seemingly appears to be a confession he clearly identifies with. However, he speaks about a reality external of himself.

The devil’s right there right there in the details

And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself. Looking too closely… Looking too closely…

He then uses a metaphor “the devil’s right there in the details” to draw the hearer’s attention to the evil one might find when you look too closely at your flaws. Subtle ways to revealing regrets, pain and hurt.

Put your arms around somebody else

Don’t punish yourself, punish yourself

There are a few things that presents a huge impact on life as we know it. Our accomplishments, our failures and shortcomings. Friendship and company makes all the difference. The Singer knows this, so he calls out his hearer to find that comfort over thinking on the hurt.

Truth is like blood underneath your fingernails

And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself

Ever done something you wish you never did, said something you wish you never said? This sort of feeling isn’t one that comes with a mere miscalculation or flaw. This type of emotional surge is mostly felt with indiscretions that could have been avoided, a very bad judgement call. The thought of it alone deepens the hurt not for the consequence of it but mostly for the oversight.

And I could be wrong about anybody else So don’t kid yourself, kid yourself

It’s you right there, right there in the mirror

And you don’t wanna hurt yourself, hurt yourself

Looking too closely

And I could be wrong about anybody else

You often would not know others as well as you would know yourself.

So the singer makes this comparism to place further attention on the one feeling melancholic at which point, you would begin to wonder if this is the singer speaking to himself or trying to project his emotion to his hearer or both.

He points this out to show that he was staring at a image, a reflection being revealed in this mirror, a reflection of every wrong melancholy feeling that comes with regret.

LESSON LEARNT: You shouldn’t be taking too close a look at your imperfections, everyone has one or two or more, find comfort grace and strength in believing the best of your self.

This does not in a way carries a perfect interpretation to the song. It is only the writing of my emotion whilst listening to the beautiful music.

Day Five (of Seven)
By: Nancy Colasurdo
Tags: Writing, Art, Life Coaching, Series, Creativity

I frequently use writing prompts in my teaching and coaching. In fact, when the pandemic lockdown began in the Northeast, I had a regular weekly group and later developed a course under the umbrella of Prompted Expression. In the spirit of sparking my own creativity and getting ideas for my students and clients, I’ve decided to write from a prompt for seven consecutive days and share the results. The prompts are from a deck of cards called Actually Curious.

Writing Prompt Five: How do you find fulfillment?

Writing and experiencing others’ creativity.

Any day my head hits the pillow and I’ve written, I feel fulfilled. Also, if it’s a day where I’ve appreciated someone else’s creative endeavors.

It’s clear in how I spend my time and how I’ve arranged my life. On most days, there is some combination of these:

~ Writing

~ Coaching someone in a creative pursuit

~ Editing someone’s words

~ Admiring art in a museum or gallery

~ Watching a documentary about visual artists, actors, writers, dancers, musicians, etc. (and of course the documentary itself is someone’s art)

~ Teaching myself to use a new app or skill that will enhance my creativity

~ Teaching others to explore creative writing

~ Admiring the Great Creator’s work on morning walks along the Hudson River

Staying true to this formula brings me not just fulfillment, but purpose and happiness.

Twelve months, twelve poems, twelve power pieces of spoken word poetry for a different take on the Medium platform. Incredibly, we reached the ides of December on Sunday the 13th, which marked the conclusion of The Ides Have It: A 2020 Spoken Word Series. If you missed this blessed expressive experiment, you can find friend links to all the poems here. If you want to learn more about how it impacted the author and the series publisher (Assemblage editor Jonathan Greene), then join us for our series-ending reflection chat. Thanks for an amazing 2020, and let’s look forward to a better 2021!

P.G. Wodehouse’s Bertie Wooster and Jeeves discuss great works of literature

Oscar Wilde “The Picture Of Dorian Grey”

“Jeeves, a question.”

“Yes, sir?”

“If you had a portrait in the attic that grew old, while you stayed young, but the rummy thing is that the portrait would show all of your sins and grow quite unappealing, would you want a portrait like that? Would you?”

“No, sir.”

“Silly of me to ask, really. You don’t commit any sins.”

“None that would be worth memorializing in oils, sir.”

“Huh. I wonder what a portrait of this Wooster would look like. I’ve pinched cow creamers, impersonated friends and others, cheated at billiards — once — that might not be much when stacked against a life of debauchery and murder.”

“Indeed, sir.”

“This Dorian Gray chap does all sorts of terrible things, Jeeves, but most of the time Wilde is so dashed coy about what those terrible things are. He repeatedly mentions this bally book that Dorian has copies of, without the title. It might as well be Milady’s Boudoir. Not that Milady’s Boudoir would lead one to a life of sin. The opposite effect, I should think.”

“The book so obliquely referred to is Against Nature by the French writer Huysmans. It is concerned with the inner life of Jean des Esseintes, a recluse retreating from bourgeois life to contemplate beauty. It was an important portrait of the Aesthetic movement in the late 19th century — “

“Jeeves, enough about Against Nature.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Save it for the long winter nights.”

“Yes, sir.”

“No, don’t. I have no wish to know more.”

“Very good, sir.”

“I don’t know why this Gray chap preferred that novel over a cracking mystery. The inner life of a bally recluse sounds oppressive to the spirit. I wish this Wilde fellow had been more explicit. It’s damned disappointed to read a ‘racy’ novel and find it’s nothing but hints. It’s not fair that the portrait knows more than the reader. It should be the other way round, what?”

“If you say so, sir.”

“I was thinking of commissioning a portrait of myself. But it might be best not to go down that road. Besides, it might be unsettling to look at my face all day.”

“Indeed, sir.”

“Jeeves! Whatever do you mean?”

“Do you require anything else, sir?”

“No, dash it!”

P. G. Wodehouse’s Bertie Wooster And Jeeves discuss great works of literature

Ernest Hemingway “Men Without Women”

“I say, Jeeves!”

“Yes, sir?”

“One of the Americans at the Savoy told me that Fscot Fitzgerald was a ‘feminine’ writer, that if I wanted the ‘real stuff’, I needed to read this chap Ernest Hemingway. After Ulysses I didn’t feel up to reading another bally long novel, so I got a book of the cove’s short stories the American recommended.”

“Men Without Women. Are you enjoying Mr. Hemingway’s writing?”

“NO! If this is the ‘real stuff’, give me the phony stuff every time. He’s striding about puffing out his chest and roaring like a gorilla all over the place. If you ask me, Jeeves, the man is unsure of himself. He doth roareth too much.”

“Some might agree with you, sir. The critic Max Eastman wrote that ‘Hemingway has a continual sense of the obligation to put forth evidences of red-blooded masculinity. It is of course a commonplace that Hemingway lacks the serene confidence that he is a full-sized man.’ After this review, Hemingway struck Mr. Eastman in the face with a book.”

“I’m not surprised. These stories are about war, and fighting, and men being strenuously masculine all over the place. Take this story. 20 bally pages about a bally bullfight! Bullfights are awful as they are, but 20 bally pages! Listen to this:

Finally the bull charged and got under the horse, lifted him, threw him onto his back. The bull, the great, black bull, with a horse on his back, hooves dangling, the bridle caught in the horns. Black bull with a horse on his back, staggering short-legged, then arching his neck and lifting, thrusting, charging to slide the horse off, horse sliding down. Then the bull into a lunging charge at the cape Manuel spread for him.

Here was the bull standing, heavy, firmly planted. All right, you bastard! Manuel drew the sword out of the muleta, sighted with the same movement, and flung himself onto the bull. He felt the sword go in all the way. Right up to the guard.

“I can’t even read the rest aloud! 20 pages of this poor creature being tortured and dying, and great piles of ridiculously virile puff pastry around it. No thank you.”

“It is not to my taste, sir, but some consider Hemingway’s writing to be a bold new style.”

“Give me Zane Grey and Riders Of The Purple Sage every time, Jeeves. A corking story, good guys and bad guys, and no bull! My tummy’s rumbling. What’s for dinner?”

“Filet mignon, sir.”

“…I shall dine out tonight, Jeeves.”

Tags: Meaningful Life, Writing, Life Coaching, Discrimination, Series

I frequently use writing prompts in my teaching and coaching. In fact, when the pandemic lockdown began in the Northeast, I had a regular weekly group and later developed a course under the umbrella of Prompted Expression. In the spirit of sparking my own creativity and getting ideas for my students and clients, I’ve decided to write from a prompt for seven consecutive days and share the results. The prompts are from a deck of cards called Actually Curious.

Writing Prompt Two: Have you ever experienced discrimination? How did you feel in that moment?

When I first became a sports writer in the 1980s, I mostly covered girls’ high school sports. As someone who barely passed gym class, I really enjoyed seeing these athletes work hard and I admired the camaraderie that came with playing on a team. I liked that my stories were filling their scrapbooks.

Years later, when the chance for a promotion came, it meant covering college sports. That beat was set up so that I’d be covering men’s and women’s sports. One coach of a male team, who I’d been friendly with and had given me compliments on my work in the past, suddenly became uncomfortable that I was covering his team. He was vocal about it.

I was a bit cowed, but I showed up and did my job, week after week. I got to know the ups and downs and quirks of his team, as most beat reporters do. Part of my job, which I hated, was predicting the outcome of their games in print every week. I went undefeated in my picks, which was actually more funny than impressive to me.

Then his team wound up playing a rival in the league championship, a big game for them. I covered it and wrote a story that appeared on the front page of the sports section. The day the article ran, the coach called me and told me it was the best story written about any team he’d ever coached. It was a highly satisfying moment.

So, yes, along the way in that profession I experienced some gender-based discrimination that often stung, but I found a way to use it in my columns as I developed a voice. It strengthened me. Now I look back at those times as my best life lessons.

I frequently use writing prompts in my teaching and coaching. In fact, when the pandemic lockdown began in the Northeast, I had a regular weekly group and later developed a course under the umbrella of Prompted Expression. In the spirit of sparking my own creativity and getting ideas for my students and clients, I’ve decided to write from a prompt for seven consecutive days and share the results. The prompts are from a deck of cards called Actually Curious.

Writing Prompt One: Imagine yourself in the future. What will your greatest life accomplishment be?

“Because of your class, I’ve learned to live in a more meaningful way.”

“I never would have taken the next step in my career without your coaching.”

“I save your columns for reading in the evening when I can treasure them.”

When I hear things like this, I nod and take a moment to appreciate the compliment. So gratifying.

But really, it’s bigger than that.

Whether it’s in a senior citizens’ center around a table, on a telephone with a client, or on Zoom with people seeking to express and share, the mission is to use my writing and coaching gifts to the fullest. Ultimately, that’s my life goal and the answer to the question posed in the prompt.

It includes holding up a mirror to people and getting them to see what’s bubbling or lying in wait under the surface. There’s a special something that develops when people are listened to. I mean, really listened to. Not out of obligation, but because someone genuinely wants to know. Their thoughts, wishes, desires begin to come to life outside of the confines of their minds, which gives birth to … possibility.

What better life accomplishment could there be than helping people birth possibility in their lives? For me, this is it. And in order to do it with integrity, I need to be consistently heeding the possibilities that come up for me.

That is why I’m especially proud to give my creative self the space it requires, partly by writing regardless of whether I’m getting paid to do so. Writer is who I am. On the best days, my writing illuminates and inspires, gets people thinking and questioning, pushes their buttons, or some combination of the above. Sometimes I get paid for doing this and sometimes not, but I don’t stray from the mission. Whether it’s a Facebook post or a full-out column, I thrive on expressing my formed thoughts. Sometimes that means taking a “money” job in order to stay on course, and so I do. I am keenly aware my life must always revolve around writing or I won’t be happy.

Maybe that’s the great accomplishment … simply honoring that.
