Twisted Thursday

    What a difference a week can make! I'm going to start with the gardens. I got the cages for the tomatoes, all twelve plants are flowering. I also put in place the trellis for the wax beans, I should have done them a little different but it is working out just fine. There is enough beans already for harvesting for tonight's dinner. We had some really bad storms roll through here and the high winds was almost ended all of my corn, but with some quick thinking and a spool of binder twine I was able to tie them up and all is well. 

    Well I'm still on my "hiatus" from thrifting. Taking time to redo the ibchilly Facebook group page. Added more descriptions and titles to the photos so my items can show up in searches. I found this new app that can take four of my pictures in a cute layout and then send them to Instagram and Twitter. Liking that! 

    Since sales are always at their lowest point for me from Memorial Day to Labor Day I have to really work hard at doing all social media stuff. Even though I have been buying and mostly selling on eBay for the past 16 years, this last two years I have really been pushing to make it a full time income. And in wanting a full time income I knew that the next step was reaching out with social media. Within the last two weeks Pinterest and Twitter have both grown another 200 followers each, Instagram jumped up to 88. And the Facebook "ibchilly" group added only one new person. Hence all the work I have done there. 

    So, as many of you have guessed, no big secret, I go resale hopping(yes hopping) and flip items on eBay for a profit. Or at least that's the goal. So from this day forward I'm going to share with all of you little tips to help you. 

TIP: By no means is eBay a get rich road. Thank you for reading. Please post a "HI" to me! That is all, ibchilly
