I was tired of seeing an item in my closet, so I legit shared it over and over one night and it sold the next day lol. I must have shared those boots a thousand times!

[@AmberResells]

Wow, I'm glad that worked! One of the ideas on my video idea list is to share my closet constantly for 3 or 4 hours on a Saturday, over and over again from say 8-9 am, 12-1 pm, 6-7pm and 8-9pm and see what happens!

[@Catherine-bk4zv]

I did the same thing!

[@TheJazzstanton]

Amber Resells I would love to see your results on that. Now back to sharing this top shop skirt that’s been in my closet tooooo long. 🏃🏽‍♀️

[@patr70]

I wish Poshmark would LIMIT the times a seller can share items to 3 times within a 24 hour period. Because you get too mzny Desperate sellers who constantly "share" their stuff. Weed out these people.

[@RunawayWhispers]

Question, if you share over and over and over, does that show up a million times in your followers feeds? Would that not annoy your followers? I'm genuinely curious because I'd like to do that although I dont want to annoy anyone.

[@Banyo__]

I spent 6 months in a share group. We were all relentless in how we shared each other's closets. You would post an item that needed sharing and ten to twenty people would share it. I was so excited by the prospect of this helping my sales, then unfortunately I noticed this far too late in joining, that of all the items I had them share, I'd say 2% of them actually sold in what I would consider a quick or reasonable to their sharing time, sold date. I invested so much of my time and energy into sharing that group and promoting closets and them promoting mine but basically got nothing for it. I then switched to a strategy of sharing my own closet multiple times a day and more frequently listing items, and my sales vastly improved. It was like night and day.

[@thethirstythrifters4610]

Ha, I must have shared my Lucky Brand wedges around the same time you were doing your experiment. They showed up a few times during your scrolling! 😂

[@LadyK_]

I love that you took the time to actually research SHARING and they re-evaluated how you'd spend your time. Thanks for sharing your results with us.

[@morgankorgwithmorg7693]

Yes, this!!! I realized this a few months ago, so I started sharing my own closet a LOT more & became a virtual assistant to help others share more too. Exposure is one of the most important aspects of selling so self-sharing has definitely increased my sales! I do community shares from time to time but I've decreased them a lot since learning this. Thanks for the video- this info is so important & I loved it as always

[@OhHeyitsHannah1]

I'm interested in hiring a virtual sharing assistant, please DM me @hannahposhes if you're looking for more work!

[@hollydraeger13]

How did you become a VR

[@jensmultiverse]

The "algorithm" myth is a potential reason to community share. I've noticed the more active I am in the app (buying, communities shared, welcoming new poshers, sharing posh closets, etc.) the more sales I have.... may be coincidence, I don't really know. But target sharing or sharing to help posh friends, or people who have bought from you, or youtubers, would be a great safe bet whether the algorithm exists or not

[@viviansmith8036]

I think it's true because that has happened to me as well when I'm really active I got sales. Plus I heard from another poshmark seller that it helps with the algorithms she said that if you share other people's closets when someone looks for specific thing and you have it it will be the first thing that shows up on their search but if you're not sharing other people's closets and it'll be the last thing that shows up on their search for that specific thing they were looking for or not show up at all

[@mariegarcia3560]

Mind blown! I thought the sharing process was dubious, and this is why! Thank you for solving the mystery, and breaking down best practices.

[@AmberResells]

You're welcome!

[@newsystemgirl]

I did not know the community shares didn't bump the items up in the search. Very nice to know that!! I have also shared as a thank you, not to buyers, but to youtubers. 😄 It does nothing for me business wise, but it's a little thing I can do since their info is so helpful. Thanks for another great video. ~ Melissa

[@AmberResells]

I like that strategy. 😂 Thanks for the shares!

[@vanessaw6332]

This is one of the best Poshmark videos I’ve seen. Thank you for being thorough and sharing the details!

[@cyphor4916]

Great explanation and demonstration of why self Shares are so important. I've watched a lot of videos on this subject but haven't seen anybody demonstrate visually of why it's so important. Thanks for doing this, very helpful.

[@AmberResells]

You're welcome! I'm really glad you found it helpful and easy to follow.

[@Sepia3000]

OMG Thank you for investigating, testing and documenting this

[@AmberResells]

You're welcome, Sara! Thank you for the nice comment!

[@pams3303]

You're inviting us into your house for these videos and pupper lives there too. He's adorable! No worries about tag jingle. 😃 Thanks for the info.

[@AmberResells]

Thank you so much Pam! I appreciate this!

[@laynetterai]

Thanks for the info! I keep trying to not compare my Poshmark beginning to Poshmark middle or advancement of others! I’m proud of you!

[@debbiephillips5157]

Thanks Amber for the information you share. I am new on PM and I have so many questions but no idea how to ask people. It helps that there are videos like yours so I can get my learning on.

[@carrieames8704]

This is so encouraging. No wonder I wasn’t selling anything. I have not been sharing nearly enough. Thank you so much!

[@DoctorLorraine]

Thank you for the helpful suggestions! I'm somewhat new to Poshmark and I wasn't sure how to manage shares. You answered a bunch of my questions through this video.

[@AmberResells]

Hi Lorraine! I'm so glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@JenniferMartinez]

Excellent video, Amber! I’ve been wondering lately about the community shares and just how much they matter. Lately I’ve really started trying to share every item in my closet at least once per day (usually more), but, man, it gets hard when you have so many listings!! I like your #4 idea!! 💜

[@southernlovely8429]

This is why people are leaving PM for Mercari? @malissastyles on Poshmark

[@simplelifeden]

Thank you so much! I sure learned something new and I've been on poshmark for almost 2 years.

[@AmberResells]

Yay! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who didn't know some of these things!

[@Arizona_lilly]

Iv known this, lol some ppl are sharing every1 but their own n wonder y, they make no sales,

[@viaisabeauty7540]

Thank you SO much for this!!! Helped me more than the last 100 videos I’ve watched on Poshmark selling! 😂

[@AmberResells]

That's amazing! Thank you!

[@KerenGrinberg]

Oh wow!! Thank you so much for the heads up! I'm apart of a share group now, and it takes about 30 minutes each day to do the shares so I don't truly mind. But those 30 minutes I could've listed like 5 new items lol. But! I loved the demonstration that you showed with your listings! These are great tops I haven't heard before! Can't wait to try the targeted follows/shares!

[@AmberResells]

I'm so glad you found the video helpful!

[@melodeelucido1446]

Brilliant video. Thank you so much for your integrity, passion and transparency!!

[@AmberResells]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@xiomanaxoxoxo3212]

Love the blue turtneck the clean foundation makeup and eye shadow and clean hair...very good lighting and great look.

[@JC-ql8ks]

Omg..this is so eye-opening for me! I always wondered if me sharing others closet is helpful! Lol thank you so much!

[@AmberResells]

You're welcome!

[@kah9157]

This has been super helpful for me!! Thank you! I just started selling about 6 weeks ago!

[@AvaLynne]

I definitely need to self share more often! Some people say that community shares are important for the "algorithm" but I don't know how true that is (or if there if an algorithm even exists). 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@rawkfist13]

I've wondered this! People refer to this algorithm, but I wonder if that's people who come from ebay where it's algorithm driven and not 1-click away from the top of search results. Hmm!

[@calw8085]

i think the Algorithm is real, only because when I became more self-centered and started self-sharing only my sales dropped dramatically. Self sharing worked for a short amount of time, but then my sales quickly but surely fell off, as if poshmark stopped showing my listings.

[@timkeypoo]

I think you need to do both to bring the traffic to your page, every item in your closet wont be something people are searching for in the search bar

[@lisamarsha7521]

I totally agree self shares several times a day. I’ve been on Poshmark since March 2018. I also share items from people that but from me. I’m amazed at the consistent sales I get and attribute those sales to self sharing.

[@AmberResells]

Thanks for commenting with your experience!

[@rawkfist13]

Love your videos! I did not know this about community shares. They emphasize the importance of it, but now I am questioning why and what purpose they serve. I do them on occasion just because I appreciate people sharing mine and use it to try and have people return to my closet, but I definitely won't use it as a strategy thinking it'll help get more shares throughout the day when I'm off the app now. Thank you for also testing with the live demo -- very cool! Have a great day!

[@AmberResells]

I waited a couple months to post this video because like you said, I've always heard that they are important so i wanted to test it out to make sure i wasn't missing something!

[@laroma1653]

off topic, but I’m in love with your dog. What a face!❤️

[@AmberResells]

Thank you!

[@valeriebeeching5869]

Thank you!!!! I am giving up my share group after this week and instead I will be sharing my own closet.

[@ItsFink]

Really awesome tips, I had no idea how much importance there was in self sharing. Thank you.

[@jchhem32]

omg I tried your strategy an it worked! hopefully it'll translate to sales. thanks! 🌼🌻🌸

[@TheThriftyBroad]

Great video. I used to do a ton of share groups and then stopped when I realized my items do better when I share them. Now I try to do some sharing of others that don't have as big of a following as I do to try to get them some more exposure and then vise versa for larger closets. I didn't think to do that targeted sharing for items that are listed higher than mine that is a great tip! I usually do that with just the sold listings :)

[@AmberResells]

Hey Vandi! Im glad I gave you a new idea!

[@cacao123451]

Love your baby!! Don’t mind the noise!!! 🐕♥️

[@laurieowens7187]

This video was SUPER informative- thank you!

[@chrisasling]

Love this video! Soo helpful. I do share because that is how I find my items to purchase....yes I am an impulse buyer....just had to share that perspective...keep up the great work! I learn so much from these videos!

[@AmberResells]

Aww thank you!

[@annastayziaa]

Tysm🙏🏻

[@TheVintageVegan]

Thank you so much! This video has helped me out a lot!

[@AmberResells]

You're welcome!

[@GirlyThreads]

Great info! Thanks for sharing!!

[@roxanaperalta3566]

Very helpful Amber. Thank you for share your knowledge!

[@AmberResells]

Absolutely, you're welcome!

[@TheCaldwells]

I thought someone else sharing my items was as good as myself sharing them. Thank you so much for making this video and sharing this info. Super helpful!! Now I need to go share share share!

[@AmberResells]

You are absolutely welcome. It is great to know that others were also unaware of this.

[@asiamay4087]

So much insightful info! Its so wonderful seeing other women doing their thing on KZbin and killing it in reselling! As someone who just started their channel, it really is inspirational to watch! Looking forward to more content from you!

[@AmberResells]

Thank you Asia! Good luck with your channel!

[@StyleWithCathyOver50]

Great tips! Thank you.

[@AmberResells]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@JJJ-mq5ok]

Thank you would never known before this.🌷

[@barbarahourigan8462]

Great advice - thank you so much.

[@utubernan1223]

So then why share other people’s items?

[@lulusthriftingworld]

Awesome video! Thank you for the knowledge!

[@arlenedecoursey8785]

Thank you for great tips make total sense.🎉🎉🎉❤️

[@jaypeeinaz]

By Golly, I think you're right! Thank you!!!

[@laelakarimi]

I highly appreciate you walking through and demonstrating the WHY for self shares being more important. It makes so much more sense now. You earned yourself a new subscriber! :) Also, video tip: try adding an end screen at the end of your video so that the last 20 or so seconds you're talking, we can see your face and not the suggested videos popup.

[@AmberResells]

Hey Laela! Great idea! The idea has crossed my mind before but then when I'm editing the video, I always forget about it. Let me know if you have any other suggestions! Thanks for subscribing!

[@jennlknnc7135]

Thanks for doing this video!

[@angelicpassalis4315]

Hello, I'm a newbie to poshmark and I'm trying to learn as much as possible. I've learned more from your 2 videos than any other videos. I'm a little challenged when it comes to social media( actually a lot challenged) so I need all the help I can get. 😳 Thanks for the help and for all the great info!!! 💗

[@jacimartin8384]

This is very helpful! I didn't know that the community shares and self shares made such a difference! Another thing that has helped me for anyone reading in the comments, go to 'find new people' on your profile and go through the people who have 'just joined' and send them a warm welcome and encourage them! Pretty much all of my sales were made by those I personally reached out to. :)

[@vetadunning16]

Thank you so much for explaining the why of why we should share our own items. I do share items from someone else's closet but not nearly as often as I used too. Sometimes a seller will share 10 items from my closet in that case I'll share some of their's. Great information

[@AmberResells]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LVGirl4]

Fantastic video, but I respectfully diagrams with you about people shopping on the feed. I've been a seller for over 4 years & as a buyer I look at the feed all the type & have purchased TONS of items found on the feed. Out of curiosity sake I asked some other big time sellers that I am good friends with on Poshmark if they buy off the feed & they all said yes. Not a big deal at all but I wouldn't negate the power of the feed.

[@Ladybugaz58]

Thank you for this Information and love your Golden, he looks like my Gracie...Love the redheads

[@AmberResells]

Thanks!!

[@MyThriftedEscape]

Amber... great information! I host a posh sharing circle every week on my channel. This information is sure going to change our approach. We are going to change to sharing off platform instead!

[@AmberResells]

Glad the video was informative and helpful!

[@laurymacauley5948]

I Do you sell a certain percentage through the newsfeed and during parties. But I also am a very consistent sharer of my closet. Thank you so much for that information!

[@AmberResells]

You're welcome!

[@Arizona_lilly]

I look at feed if a item pop ups I like which us rare we do like, it. but I know ppl search

[@ynghrt2398]

The only stat keeping me from being a Posh Ambassador is Community Shares! I just don’t do them very often because like you mentioned, they’re pretty pointless. I think the only people scrolling the newsfeed are those who have just signed up for Posh and are trying to figure it all out/browse. Otherwise people just want a specific brand/style. Keyword optimization is super important!

[@AmberResells]

I agreee! Honestly keyword optimization is something I know I should work on! The other day one of my friends downloaded Poshmark and the first thing she typed in was "shirts with bows". It reminded me how important keywords like "bows" are!

[@emilypound]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@vickinestinghearts9367]

Fabulous info! Ty

I had no idea! Thanks for sharing that info! 😉

[@AmberResells]

You're welcome!

[@dorothyjames7033]

wow i didn't even know what poshmark is till this video. What a great idea and thank you for sharing :)

[@AmberResells]

You're welcome! If you decide to download the app, use the invite code DressedByAmber and you will get $5 off if you decide to buy something. I will also get $5 as a referral bonus from Poshmark. win-win!

[@atravelingthrifter8127]

Thank you for sharing this. Before I watched this video- I had hired an assistant to share my poshmark closet for a week. I was wondering why I didn't see a boost in sales. ANyways- I liked this video in my review today- I hope that is ok :)

[@ozlemtuncel3032]

I love your dog 🥰 great video thanks!

[@elainej3392]

The whole idea of sharing seems ridiculous to me. If an item is good enough so people look for it, it does not need to be shared. if it's something that cannot be sold without sharing it a thousand times first, it's not something I want to sell

[@elizabethhendriks9030]

WOW! So helpful..thank you!!

[@anneoconnorao]

I love your teaching heart!!❤❤❤

[@AmberResells]

Thank you Anne!

[@Carmen-vs4eb]

Self shares is #1!! Btw- that shadow color LOVE!

[@AmberResells]

Thank you!! I actually completely used up my normal color so I had to try a different one. I think that is the first time in my life I've ever used every bit of an eye shadow color!

[@Jacy28]

Thank you Amber, these are important facts about sharing items in Poshmark. Happy Poshing!

[@djdannycosmo]

Hi I've just jump ship from eBay and this is huge huge huge huge thank you so much for such an informational video I mean I'm literally on my first week had one day where I add 7 sales and then now I'm just kind of like okay but the sharing stuff I love it but I don't understand it and you just gave a lot of way and now I'm trying to think I'm going to share and then see what comes up like if I shared a bunch of ties are these ties going to be at the top of the search so it's a lot of really good information thank you for making such an informational video that someone like me can learn thank you

[@priscillaramos3033]

Loved this video!!

[@noblecaptures4898]

Great advice!

[@jimd1617]

Great video! Very helpful strategies. :)

[@AmberResells]

Thanks Jim!

[@kibiby]

With time difference you can share pretty much every hour, you have ppl on break at work, lunch, wake up time can vary at any time

[@pamv183]

So much work! There are no short cuts though. You look so pretty in this video, btw.

[@shanaymaree]

Great video, thanks for the shout out as well ☺

[@AmberResells]

You're welcome! Thanks for quickly offering to help; it was very appreciated!

[@deborahschultz5979]

really interesting!! I think that one of the primary benefits of sharing other peoples closets can be to increase your following , particularly when you are a new posher as I am.

[@AmberResells]

Thanks for commenting and watching my video! I am still unsure of how important followers are; I've heard mixed opinions on this and haven't yet thought of a great way to test it.

[@upclady60]

Thank you so much for this information. Very helpful. Thank you for doing this research. I believe and would love to know the % of searched items verses shares and random scrolling. Im sure its high. I think Sharing on FB and IG is very very important. We need to grow the Posh platform in general. So many dont even know Posh exist.

[@AmberResells]

Yes, most of the time when it comes up with friends, they've never heard of the app. I have been seeing more poshmark commercials lately though!

[@hollydraeger13]

Thank you so much for this complete explanation on this important subject 🙂 Do you only share or use the edit, next, list method too? Thanks in advance

[@AmberResells]

I only share. I have not seen credible evidence that ENL does anything different than sharing, and it is more time consuming. Thanks for watching!

[@terrimom7570]

I love the video and am new to PM..I'm curious how you find the discontinued items?

[@looklikefamous2052]

This is true, Good Job!

[@looklikefamous2052]

There are also share bots which can do this for you.

[@designermuppetstring]

Thanks Rosa! I was really afraid this video was going to get a bunch of "obviously!" Or "and how long have you been selling on the app? How did you not know this?" so I'm so glad others are learning too!
