Why I engage in my Poshmark app several times a day!

It is simple, really.  Algorithms.  

Poshmark’s algorithm is designed to match buyers with the items they may like.  It uses keywords to find listings that shoppers are looking for. (I do not like ending with a preposition)  It is important to be clear in your listing and use keywords which help the algorithm understand what you’re selling.

Just calling an item a cute dress does not cut it.  Make sure to include the brand, color, size and as many words as you can to describe the item. You have 80 characters available, so use them!

Which one of these descriptions will get matched to buyers better?

LC Lauren Conrad faux suede pink jacket size Medium. Long sleeve Button front 

Or,

Nice pink jacket

Fairly obvious, yes?

The algorithm also promotes active sellers.. So, share often and answer questions quickly. If you want your stuff to be seen more, try to be on the app every day. (https://selleraider.com/poshmark-algorithm/ )

This morning, I woke up in time to see American Madison Keys win the Aussie Open Semi final.  What a match!  It was over two hours. She won in the third set tie-break!

I shared all 600+ items in my closet several times while I watched the match and held my dog Nipper in my lap.  An aside- Nipper thinks she is a lap dog but she is medium sized but likes to stay closr to me especially in the morning.

I also went through all bundles and made new offers on those I could.  After a month or so, expired bundles are available again to make new offers  Don't ask why or how, I simply accept that they are. Plus, some bundles may have items that have sold since they were created.  If you remove the sld items, then you can make a new offer on the bundle.

I find it easiest to go to my closet and click the bundle icon.  Then, go through all those for sale.  It will either say "Unable to make an offer" or it allows a new offer. I do this about once a month and whatever is available, I make an offer.

Bottom line- I do not spend precious time tryng to figure out the algorithm and how to hack it, I just engage as much as possible every day by doing some or all of the following:

1. Share

2. Follow

3. List

4. Update offers

5. Run a silent show

6. Message buyers

7. Welcome new Poshers

8. Check out other Poshers' shows

9. Add to stories (I use Canva to create these)

10.  Check progress
