Reselling
Nifty – This is a fantastic cross listing tool. I currently use this to sell on eBay and Poshmark. Use my promo code – CUSTERKSFINDS – to save 15% off your first month on any plan. What I love about Nifty is the ease of sharing on Poshmark and that you don’t have to keep your browser open! I do have the highest plan (automation & cross listing) where it’ll automatically delist items once they sell but you can achieve the same task if you grab the cross listing plan only.
8×10 Cardboard sheets – We use these when shipping autographs or comic books. It’s perfect when you don’t want your product to bend in the mail; it’s a little more sturdy.
Bubble Wrap – This is always key to have for shipping, especially breakable items. We have used this brand in the past and also items from Uline (which is pricier but get to you quicker).
Scotch Magic Tape – if you don’t have a label printer, this is the cheapest way to go. You can print your labels on your printer, cut and tape to package. We went this method for years before grabbing a label printer. I still use this tape on my items – taping the bubble wrap up!
Bubble Mailers – I use these on smaller items like movies or jewelry. I’ll still bubble wrap the item though. I love the colors on these mailers – I’ve had purple and blue so far.
Reclosable Zip Plastic Poly Bags – I currently use these for inventory bags; I bought numbers to put on them. Once an item is listed, it goes into a numbered bag and put in one of the bins in our office. When something sells, I remove the item from the bag and can reuse the bag again in the future.
Hangers for Pants, Shorts, Skirts – I use these to photograph items and have used them in the past when we did Whatnot shows. They are so handy to have.
Munbyn Thermal Printer – We bought this in 2023 and just love it! It’s nice that it doesn’t use ink and prints the labels so fast!
Munbyn Thermal Shipping Labels – We purchase these all the time and get the 500 pack.
Jewelers Loupe – This is perfect when you purchase some jewelry and need to see if there are any markings on them. We have a few of these around the house.
Rigid Mailers – We use these when we sell autographs; we also put in those cardboard sheets to make things sturdier.
Thank You stickers – I put these on all of our packages going out; we used to do business cards but so many people just throw those away. Stickers are a nice touch!
Self Seal Clear Poly Bags – We put majority of our items in poly bags before putting them in a mailer. This is a great way to keep your item clean and protected in case your mailer splits open. We have several sizes to fit various items.
Inventory Number Stickers – This is what we use to number our bags once items are listed. The one that we chose goes up to #2000. Definitely should last us a long time!
Hosting
Mom Webs Hosting – I’ve been around the block on hosting sites and found Mom Webs during my blogging journey. This is a fantastic hosting company and the customer technical service is amazing!! They respond so fast that its rare to see. And they will answer any of your questions. Sometimes I’ll feel silly asking questions because I’m not techy at all and they do not make you feel stupid asking questions.
Legal Documents
Bloggers Legal Bundle – When you are just starting a blog, having the right disclosures is key to being legal on everything. These templates have been written by a lawyer and are a great resource to have in your arsenal. I use these legal documents all the time.
Membership
Business Beach Club Regular / Pro – This is a fantastic membership that I’m a part of. You get all of Becky’s courses, a Bonus Training Vault, 1 PLR Print & Digital Planner/mth, Digital stickers every month, 1 training or course a month, private FB Group and more! One other perk is the invitation to a $5 sale or bundle each quarter. She offers 2 options – Regular, and Pro – 4 monthly mastermind group coaching calls, unlimited email coaching and PLR customization training.
Monthly Insider Club for Etsy Printable Sellers – I was part of this at one time and it is chockful of info. Carmen gives you a creative and behind the scene video training every month. Plus you can get a brand new collection of PLR templates for you to customize, rebrand and resell and much more.
Pretty Clip Arts Club – I was also a member for a few months and I love all the cute clipart that you get in this membership. This membership was revamped as version 2 and you’ll have unlimited downloads with access to 2 new packs. There is a monthly or yearly option.
AI Creator Club – I was a member of this one as well and I loved all the prompts that was given in here. Plus she has training in here to help you acheive greatness with Midjourney.
Insider Trends Action Hub Membership – I’m currently a member of this and I’m loving the AI Prompts, and monthly trends research report.
Brilliant Biz & Life Academy – I’m currently a member of this and it is absolutely amazing; there is so much information in the academy. You get all of Leonie’s eCourses, workbooks, workshops and more.
Monthly Inspirations Club – You’ll receive dated and undated calendar templates, complete list of monthly events, power words and affirmation packs, journal prompts and more.
Do It With Faith – I’m a member of this and there is so much goodness inside. You’ll receive bonus trainings, tutorials, monthly surprise bonus plr template or course and much more!
Cute Clipart Club – I’m a member of this and love all the clipart that is in here! I’ve used some already for some of my personal use printables.
DYT Clip Art Membership – I’m also a member of this and love the clipart as well!
Email Marketing Membership – This is Liz Wilcox’s (yes, she was on Survivor) membership and it’s got so much value in it. I was a member of it at one time and loved it!
Template Supply Club – You get a premium Canva template with PLR rights; a coordinating Canva template that complements the main template with PLR rights and promotional mockups (personal use). Plus 20% off new releases and a private FB Group. She has also added a yearly plan as well.
PLR Cookie Jar – I was a member of this and love all the templates that were provided. This membership also offers PLR resell rights (MRR). You’ll receive at least 3 products with 50+ pages of graphics and templates. And new for 2024 you get sales page copy included. There’s a monthly or annual plan.
Printables Business Academy – I’m currently a member of this and love the templates that I receive. She also offers in the membership MRR rights on the templates. She does a live workshop a month, a repurposing video a month and a business lesson each month. Replays are available.
Shopping Platform
Sendowl – I loved the ease of placing products in here when I had my Shopify store. You can do unlimited products and no order limits. However they do charge a fee if you offer a free product. They also have an affiliate program that you can use.
Payhip – I currently use Payhip for my personal use store. It was so easy to get started and it’s free. You can always upgrade to a different plan to reduce your transaction fee. For now, free is fine for me as I get very little sales!
Teachery – This is a great course platform that you can use to place your courses, or even products in here. If you love making your courses pretty, it is highly customizable for you to do that. I do have Teachery as I got the lifetime access when I joined a coaching program. What I love about it is that you have one login to access all your courses, instead of having multiple logins like Thrivecart (which I also have).
Product Research Tools
Everbee – This is a great tool for finding the best products on Etsy. I’ve been using this for research and plan to utilize it more to find products that I can create for you!
