How to Make Your First Sale on Poshmark
If you are a new Seller on Poshmark, Welcome! We are a community filled with like-minded Buyers, Sellers, Business Owners, and Posh Addicts!
We are on the app 24/7, sharing our store, making money, and new Posh Friends.
So, say you have posted your first 10 items on Poshmark, but all you seem to hear are crickets…
Well, I am here to show you how to make your very first sale!
My First Sale on Poshmark
I started selling on Poshmark 2 years ago and made my first sale within a month and a half.
What I didn’t understand at the time, is that if I had just done a few more simple things consistently, my items would have sold more quickly.
I give all of the credit of making my first sale to my new Poshmark Pals-Pff’s (Posh Friends Forever)-aka other Poshmark Sellers.
My new Posh Pals continued to share my items over and over again, even when I was not on the app consistently.
Although we help each other sell on Poshmark, no matter how many times your fellow Posher shares your items, you will not make all of your sales based on this alone.

Share Your Items Every Hour
To increase your chances of selling, Poshmark is set up for you to share your items as often as you can.
The app allows you to go on what I call, a “Sharing Frenzy”, or “Sharing Sprees”-making you a pro-active Seller.
While some Poshmark Sellers feel that sharing can get a bit redundant, they also know, that it is the only way that they will make constant and consistent sales.
Poshmark is not the type of selling app, where you just snap some pictures of what you want to sell, upload, and wait for someone to buy.
How do you share your items?
First, click on the arrows
Next, click on my followers
After you click on My Followers, your items will then show up in your follower’s feed.
You want to always make it a habit of sharing to your Followers as often as you can, to make your first sale!
*Share every hour, and at times, share every 30 minutes, to see if your Followers, or other Buyers who are searching for your item through the search bar, respond at a faster rate.
Your Followers will respond in the form of buying your item, like, question, comment, or will reshare your items to their Followers, so that your Closet/Store will get more visibility.
The More You Share
The more you share, the more your followers will see your items.
The more you share, the more your Closet will get noticed.
The more you share, the more the app will recognize you as active and will boost your listings.
The more you share, the more of your listings will be at the top of the Poshmark Search.
The more you share, the more chances your listings will show up in Google Search.
The more you share, the more likes you will get.
The more you share, the more sales you will make.
When you share your closet/store on Poshmark, you are basically promoting and marketing your store!
You can have so many awesome items in your Poshmark Store, but without promoting and marketing them within the app, they will not get seen-so therefore, they will not sell.
Sharing your items on the Poshmark app, as often as you can, is the most important thing that you can do to make sales!
Extra Tips While Sharing
*Make sure you enter the brand name, and key details in your title.
For instance, instead of writing Beautiful Heels, write the brand name, style, and color.
Using descriptive keywords under ‘What are you selling’, will not only put your items under the right category in the Poshmark Search Engine but in the Google Search Engine as well.
When a potential customer searches for an item that matches up with your item description, your listing will pop up.
Also, if you share a lot, and other Sellers have the same item listing as yours, your item will be at the top!
*When someone likes an item in your store, reduce your price by 5-10% immediately. Poshmark will send a notification of your price drop to your likers.
*Share at midnight, in the middle of the night, and early in the morning.
*Send a thank you note to your likers, on their about me page, to acknowledge, and connect with your potential buyers; Example of what I usually send-Thank you for liking🤗if you have any questions, please feel free to ask💕
Share During Poshmark Virtual Parties
There are 4 Virtual Posh Parties a day!
Poshmark Party Hosts sends everyone an invitation in the news feed, 1 day before each themed Party.
During the last party of the night, you can share your whole closet, whether it matches the theme or not.
There are more Buyers on the Poshmark app before, during, and after the Poshmark Virtual Themed Parties-so make sure that you take advantage of increasing your chances of making your very first sale, by sharing your items to the Posh Parties.
The Afta Pawdy!
Most offline clubs shut down between the hours of 2 am and 3 am. But sometimes, you are not ready to go home yet!
Well, it’s the same for buyers on Poshmark! I call it, The Poshmark Afta Pawdy!
Say that a buyer didn’t see anything in particular that caught their eye at a Poshmark Party-or they just want to hang out a bit more after the Party, to see what else they can add to their wardrobe.
Continuing to share your items after the Party, or as soon as the Party ends, can result in a sale!
TIP: Share 15-30 minutes before all Posh Parties, during all Posh Parties, and 15-30 minutes after the Parties.
List an item a day
Sharing and listing goes hand in hand. The Poshmark app boosts your listings when it detects that you are consistently putting up a new item/or items daily.
Share Other Poshmark Sellers Closets
(But not more than you share your own!)
By sharing items in other Poshers closets to your Followers, you are showing what we call “Posh Love”.
This is what the Poshmark Community is known to do-Help each other sell.
Many times, after I have shared a Poshers item with my Followers, (we call this Community Shares) I will get some likes, or sells.
A lot of us who have been on Poshmark for a while, have certain sharing strategies that we use.
Once you start spending time on the app, you will find what sharing strategy works best for you!
Follow Other Poshers and Their Following
Following a lot of other Poshers, is another way to increase your closet’s visibility.
Click on your Followers, follow them back, and follow their followers, and whoever they are following-While your at it, go ahead and pick an item out of their closet to share!
Poshmark is a highly active app!
Poshers will quickly follow you back, are quick to share, and will rarely unfollow you.
So what are you waiting for?
Hop on the app right now, and start sharing your closet, so that you can make your first sale.
