Seller Motivational Sellers’ Perspective The Power of Seller Support: Building a Positive Worn Items Marketplace

We are all in this together

We are all here for the same reason, why we joined may be different but we all have that one thing in common that we are sellers! Having each other's backs feels almost vital especially on those harder or quieter days. I for one know how much having the support of my fellow sellers has helped me and what a positive impact it has made. The way I see it is we should work together and make this a positive experience and environment for everyone. Sellers should feel they can ask for advice and guidance from each other, we were all new once and I have learned so many valuable lessons from other sellers.

Support

Support can come in various forms and it doesn’t cost a thing. Recommending someone, tagging them in positive posts, offering advice if it is needed, liking and commenting on pics, posts and polls, getting involved in a dash drain or any humiliation posts, doing a post to tell others about a competition they have going or again drains and such. None of those things take much time either, I do my best to help when and where I can because I know at times I need the same myself, I know I rely on the support of others. I will use the perfect example, a dash drain. I rely on likes and comments to help, the engagement is vital so when someone else has one and if I see it I give a like or a comment or may do a post to help draw attention to it because I know that it is a 2 way street. So even if you don’t think you need others to help there will be times like the example I have just used where it is vital, the kind and supportive thing to do would be to give that back in some way where and when you can.

Keeping things friendly

I am not saying we all have to get along, be best mates and agree on everything that is just unrealistic, however we never need to be rude to each other. This is not a race or a competition, nobody is better than someone else. You may not share the same kinks, you may do things totally different, have a different attitude or approach but that should all be celebrated, our personalities are what make us unique and the site interesting. A healthy and friendly debate or difference of opinion, agreeing to disagree is fine, if anything it helps us learn, I know it can for me, sometimes a different perspective makes me think or gives me food for thought. I think it is about being mindful that it doesn’t spiral into something off topic or unpleasant. The other thing ( and I will talk more about buyers ) is how we talk to/behave towards each other is important in that we don’t set a precedent for buyers, if we are giving each other a hard time they may think it is ok. I must absolutely stress I don’t mean all buyers, some unfortunately troll and such and they will feed off it or assume it is normal.

How buyers see us

Buyers take notice, they see and watch how we act and interact and I think that it is totally understandable. If I were a buyer and I was seeing unfriendly behaviour or drama especially between sellers I would be turned off. People come on here to forget the outside world for a while, myself included.

It is vital

Selling can be lonely or feel tough, some here may have limited support particularly if nobody knows what we do, there are those who sell in secret so I think it essential they have someone else to talk to or a safe space to ask questions. There is already so much stigma around what we do, enough people in the vanilla world who would shame us or belittle us, making negative comments about what we do, why add to it? Nobody will understand you better than a fellow seller, we know what it is like to have unpleasant experiences, how draining this can be and so on. But also there is so much good, we should be able to celebrate each other's achievements. I find supporting and cheering on gives me a real boost, a real sense of community but it just feels good. We should lift each other up and help each other achieve our goals. I on many occasions have been given some words of encouragement and kindness and it has kept me going, I have learned so much and have had so many great experiences and conversations with fellow sellers, I am where I am and continue to grow through learning and advice and kindness, I will always be grateful for all the positivity I have received.

I think I have covered most of what I wanted to say but the last thing I wanted to touch upon is how it may be important at times to remember the impact our words and actions can have and that we are all human here . A kind word here and there or just some general support can honestly make all the difference I also want you to remember you are amazing and bring so much to the table. I am proud to be part of a community amongst creative, talented, beautiful sellers.
