@@ADCIC Hi Amahle. Thanks for your feedback - I want you to know that it's on top of my list for 2025. This year, unfortunately, I have to focus on tuition fees (& other things) but I set a content goal and I need to meet it without the equipment for now. Even as we speak, I broke the camera I was recording on which means I have to continue the year using a REALLY bad camera but I will do it to meet my content goals. Trust me, as soon as I have it, you will be the first to know (or see 🫠) thanks again, enjoy your day!
Love your content, it helped a lot , I started selling on takealot , after being depressed aswell , without a job but God has been good. Keep up the videos even if your camera is broken, you inspired me to start with something showing me that hard work pays off even though it takes time❤
Thanks for your transparency. I am just too scared of being in the negative. The fulfilment and success fees seem to chow more than the R460. I started selling last month and I paid quite a bit with courier fees and also printing stationery. To me it looks like only high volume sales will make you see the money. Otherwise if you don't price right for the platform you might be on the negative easily.
@@thulithwala that's true but I also think it's a great lesson to learn. I once bought an item for 900 something (it was 180 and the rest was shipping - long story) and then I felt like charging over 1k wasn't going to work so I charged 750, it was gone in 3 days and left me on the red after the fees and I had to pay the 460 out of pocket. I almost closed my shop same day because I didn't expect me to cost me money. But it taught me a lot about pricing and now I've priced to my advantage. Another disadvantage i have is that I live in a remote town so shipping things to me or finding suppliers is ridiculously expensive and this taught me not to go after popular products- I have to find unique ones with minimal competition because I have to cover the burden of high shipping costs. In the first month and a half, I didn't make money ( the month after that I made R409) and had to keep it so that the subscription could be paid. And then shortly after that I made 500+ that was completely min and eventually I started making a consistent profit. It won't be overnight but you'll get there. Keep adding products and test new ones often ,also keep the festive seasons in mind. Those things be goldmines!
@@moneymondays Hi👋 Yes, it's the 460 subscription free and then it's the 2 fees per sale (depends on product) and then they also charge for storage fee if your product is slow moving (highest I have is R4.60 and another is R2.30) so it's cheaper to keep the product there than to get it back to you (mainly because I'm in nelspruit - might be easier if you are near the warehouse)
Hi, it was a live boot camp so no. But the host was Shazmeen Ali. But now she does funnels etc. I will see if I can find her channel - she also dropped a few gems there that I used. Here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2MZaN03WMRE.htmlsi=WD7NitDho8H6wy9E
@@cyrilchibambu7424 lol 😂 I kinda get it. The information is available on the marketplace portal for anyone to read through in order to register so if someone needs 1:1 help, you have to charge for it. For example I also teach people how to register a profile on Fivere and Upwork. It requires about 60-90min to do it properly - I charge for that because the information on how to do that is readily available and there's tons of free yt video that show how but if it requires my own personal time, I happily send an invoice 🙂
Can you offer assistance for someone like me who wants to do well. I've applied and got accepted and did my onboarding what what, Im just struggling to add my products. It keeps on being rejected and TakeAlot is already charging me. Im even thinking of cancelling my whole account because im not making any money, rather loosing it😢
@@siyandadavids5168 yes, that exactly how I started. I bought 15 units of 1 product but they accepted 1 unit because I was new and they waived the first month's subscription (dokt know if they still do) so I think basically they want to make it easier tmfor anyone to get started.
@@jonasfriedrich7988 based on South African rand. Math done. $5×20 hours per week = R1800 (R7200 per month on 1 client, therefore 3 clients based on that rate is R21600.
