Hi my name is Josh Orth and I'm currently a senior at Lake Ridge High
School and my side hustle is that I resell shoes and clothes and in this
video I will be teaching you guys about how I became one of the most trusted
sellers on sneaker twitter the concept of reselling was introduced to me by my
father a few years back I had this one Lego set and it turns out it went for a
lot of money so what I did is when I went on ebay took a few pictures of the
set I had listed the item and then after a few weeks to item actually sold and I
made a pretty good amount of profit actually after the sale I was hooked and
I frantically searched for something else where I can make money on and
that's when I stumbled upon shoes and it turns out some shoes have a resale
market to them and it could be very profitable it turns out what I like
about my side hustle is that I could do it for my room and the only real commute
I have would be to go to the post office to drop off latest sales or whatnot and
the majority of the work is when I have to package and ship items as well as
when I have to input sales into an organized spreadsheet that keeps track
of profit and expenses I sell shoes clothing and basically anything that has
a potential to yield profit and some of the most popular brands I buy from would
be Nike and supreme in addition to reselling another revenue stream that I
have would be my photography business over the last summer I started doing
senior portraits and that business turned out to be pretty successful I
sell to basically about anyone but school about the secret market is that
there are seeker heads who are both old and young however in this day and age I
feel like the markets are comprising more of the youth and kids these days
all want to get the latest supreme items who flex them from their classmates
whatnot I became popular in Twitter by selling to as many people as possible
and doing so helped me build a reputation by being a reliable seller of
authentic items more and more people came to follow me and trust me to the
point where I have over 400 people willing to vouch for my reputation in
addition to Twitter I utilize other reselling apps such as Grail stock X and
goat determining what to buy can only come from experience you kinda have to
follow the hype of pop culture and be able to predict where that is heading
for example when Kanye West signed with Adidas a few years back there was a huge
amount of hype that shifted from Nike to adidas and adidas tried to take
advantage of this by over saturating the market and ultimately this led to their
crash as a reseller to adapt to this by selling up all the data shoes I had in
my inventory and next all I had to do was wait into the next hype wave which
turned out to be Nikes comeback determine the price for an item depends
on what type of item it is for example let's say Nike Travis Scott did a shoot
together the item would be worth significantly more as there are two
markets come together on one item sometimes designers release pictures or
release states to their new collections and as well as sneaker news pages
releasing retail prices were to get items and other information that could
be useful well my favorite sneaker pages would be called just fresh kicks you can
find them on Instagram and Twitter with reselling there is no set amount of
money to be made times you could be forced to sell an item for a loss but on
other hand you can make thousands of dollars from just a single shoe recently
begins the starting money having capital would be one of the most important
things in flipping shoes what a beginner could do is that they could go to
outlets or wait for a sale on let's say Nike and buy heavily discounted items
from there take a list those items on let's say stock X or goat and after
rocky enough money they could start investing into the bigger releases one
thing I would recommend it would be to download the Nike sneakers app as the
sneakers up is the most legit place you could buy from and it carries all the
hype releases from Nike and their collaborations and hopefully with this
video you can get a better sense of how sachiko reselling works and maybe you
could enter hobby as well I just want to shout out college hustle for inviting me
to the show if anyone has any business inquiries or questions you can contact
