Building the Social Media Network

Well we’ve been very busy with all sorts of activity including picking up donations and thrifting, as well as listing and actually selling some items on both Etsy and Facebook market place.  On top of all this activity we have been working on the social media accounts and just learning and adding them into our network.  We really got into Instagram and making posts in Canva that are kind of simple video type posts that do look snazzy.  We are adding fo both following and followers who are mostly vintage flippers but also starting to search for flipper resellers and adding them as well.  We inadvertently ran two adds on facebook for 10 bucks that is hitting about 5000 feeds so far with one day left to go.  This ad is attempting to drive traffic here in the hopes we continue building the co op.  We also created another Pin on Pinterest which we’ve been neglecting just because of time.  Getting free stuff is awsome for sure and we are getting it. Vintage stuff goes on Etsy and the other stuff goes on Facebook for now.  As soon as covid is over I’m going to have a front yard sale and see how that goes.  I think so far we are in and around the 2-300 dollar mark generated as revenue, but if we take into consideration other costs like gas mainly and just buying stuff like a photo booth, the website domain, flatsome theme for this website and the 3 Facebook ads we are probably still profitable but barely.  I realize it will take time but we are gung ho to continue the effort.  We just finally got the wordpress site backups going so we can begin to look into building the actual multivendor shop.  It looks like we will be using the wcfm plugin for that as the dokan one although is solid it seems they don’t have as many features I want.  We have 4 youtubes up now and another one rendering, which seems to take forever.  Also not helping that situation is my laptop acting up and will have to go into the shop for repairs. Something with chrome not wanting to fire up properly.  I thought I fixed it myself but it worked for about a 2 day stretch and then began to fail again.  Work work work but all fun!
