$100K a Month Selling Streetwear From Her Bedroom

Maddie is 22 and sells niche streetwear from her bedroom. She’s deaf and has fibromyalgia.

She sells on Tilt, a live auction app for secondhand and discounted fashion. Tilt says she was doing upper five figures a month. In June she passed $100,000 in sales 👀

13 Tilt sellers cleared $1 million in sales last year and none were influencers. Another, Yorkshire Trainers, moves about $260,000 a month 🤑

📝 Tilt co-founder Neil Shah on a seller who started with nothing…

We had this 17-year-old who essentially started in his grandma’s bedroom and just scaled his whole business to over $100,000 within a few months.

Those are sales, not profit – you buy the stock first. But Tilt’s cut is small: 2% + 50p per transaction, no commission, and you need 15-20 items to apply.

Co-founder Abhi Thanendran is blunt about the work 👇

To do that every single day for several hours is tiring, and then on top of that, after your stream, you have to package your stuff, ship everything out, answer customer questions.

Tilt currently only takes sellers in the UK, France, Spain, Italy and Poland. Elsewhere, Whatnot does the same job.

Twenty decent pieces sourced cheap, and you’re in 😎
