A young woman has revealed she made a whopping £1,400 in just 30 days by selling her old clothes on the popular online marketplace, Vinted.
Holly Hoath shared her success in a post on TikTok along with her top tips for making sales.
The 24-year-old is an avid Vinted user and lists clothing – from jackets and dresses to swimwear and shoes – alongside makeup and homewares such as cushions.
Holly, from Essex, UK, has been using Vinted for a while now, but was astonished when she realised how much money she had made during the month of April.
“I’ve been using Vinted for a good few years,” Holly told Absolutely Business.
“Recently, I decided to put so much more effort into it because I have so much stuff I need to get rid of.
“And I can’t believe I made £1,400 in one month.”
Holly also notes that because the items were owned by her, she did not have to pay tax on any of the sales she made.
Sharing her top tips for other wannabe sellers, Holly said the key to her success is consistency.
She listed items every single day so that her page would be easy to find.
Holly also used the ‘Wardrobe Spotlight’ feature on the online marketplace for two of her items to give them a boost, which cost her £6.95 per item.
In her video, Holly said: “I kept my prices really fair.
“I’m always open to reasonable offers, but I’m not going to lowball just for fun.
“I’ve also been sharing my Vinted on my TikTok, showing what I’ve uploaded that day in case followers see something they like.
“I have kept my links in my bio on TikTok and also my Instagram too.
“I’ve just stayed consistent and made sure I share my page so as many people as possible can see it.
“I’ve gained a lot of followers on there as well, and I think that is key. You’ve got to keep posting your page.
“I’ve made £1,400 in April out of my old clothes. Who doesn’t need an extra £1,400?”
Many viewers took to the comments section to share their Vinted usernames, as people were amazed by how much Holly had managed to make.
Some also asked Holly for advice.
One user said, “I’ve had things on there for a while and no one seems to be buying.”
“This is amazing! Me and my partner have put our old bits on and in just over a week made nearly £300,” another wrote.
Someone else noted: ”I literally can’t get more than £2 or £3 per item.”
