This is because these listings have the keywords necessary to show up in the searches! So, make sure you are using your keywords when setting up your listings, regardless of the platform.

4. Use ISO

If you are selling on Poshmark a great way to find out what people want is to type in ISO in the search bar. These are things people are in search of, and if you have something similar you can let them know to check out your listing

5. Renew your listings

Sometimes buyers get tired of the the same old same old listings, so renew yours. Make sure that when you’re taking photos of your items you have two or three cover shots to choose from so that you can switch it up from time to time
