Reseller Hangout Podcast - Rob & Melissa On The Reseller Summit
Rob: All right guys, so topic on hand today is The Reseller Summit.
Melissa: And is it better than eBay Open and Poshmark events? So that is a comment we actually got last year. This is our second year running The Reseller Summit, and we'll dive into what exactly it is in just a second, but last year we got the comment that this is better than eBay Open.
Rob: So by multiple people.
Melissa: By a couple people. So we were really excited to hear that this was, that was our first time ever running this event. And this year's our second time and we're just, we're super stoked. That was just a great compliment to see. So we've actually never been to eBay Open, so I can't tell you like, but that was just a comment that we got, that we were super excited about.
Rob: Yeah, and had a blast. This year we have over, no, we have 25, speakers and, what is it? 22 presentations?
Melissa: Yep. 22 presentations.
Rob: So 22 presentations. Super excited. And it is a wide range of flipping, not just flipping, but even in the business realm, everything that you really need to know about flipping, about your business aspects of it, about different ways that you can flip, different items you can flip, so it's super, super exciting.
Melissa: Yeah. And so kind of what exactly is, it is a virtual event so you can attend. A lot of people ask us, well, where is it? So this is a virtual event. Maybe one day we will do an in-person event. That would be really cool. So it would be on our mind. But right now it's a virtual event. So you can tune in from anywhere, at the comfort of your own home. Anywhere you have wifi, you can watch. And we have four days of speakers lined up. They go live at the top of the hour during each day. And yeah, we just have a blast. And then we have a Facebook group. You don't have, and that is another question that people ask, like, so do we have to have Facebook?
No, none of the presentations are in Facebook, but we do have that community so that we can get to know each other. It's just fun. You know, get to know other resellers and build that community.
Rob: So yeah, and kinda how it's set up. So all the presentations are prerecorded, but then the presenters, excuse me, the presenters will come on.
A lot of the presenters will be in the chat. So there'll be a chat underneath the presentation that while you're watching the presentation, you can ask questions in the chat and a lot of the presenters will be in the chat answering questions for you, during the presentation. So it is amazing. It was awesome last year.
We had such, such great feedback, had a blast doing it, so it was really, really cool.
Melissa: Yeah. So, and this year we are covering a lot of new topics that we didn't cover last year, so it's fun, and we have some new, some of the similar topics because we always want to get back to the business stuff because that stuff's important, like, do you need an LLC to start your side hustle?
What if this is just a hobby? So we have a lawyer, Amira Irfan talking about that. Like, do we really, do you have to have an LLC or how do you get it? We have Mark Tew coming on talking about taxes and bookkeeping. Because those are things that stop people from getting started and they shouldn't, don't let the business stuff stop you from starting at this awesome side hustle.
And maybe you are really into it and you haven't been taking care of yourself. So maybe this is the little kick you need to, okay, let me, let me treat this not just as a hobby, this is my side hustle.
Rob: Make sure I'm doing this the right way. That's what these people are here to teach us and show us what to be doing. For sure.
Melissa: Yeah, I mean, we've got, and then we've got all kinds of niche topics. We got furniture flipping this year, which we're excited about with Kacey and Kristen from BB Frosch. They're gonna take us through getting started with your furniture flipping side hustle, so we're excited to have them.
We have all kinds of stuff. Let's see.
Rob: Phone flipping.
Melissa: We have phone flipping, plant flipping. We're super excited about our.
Rob: Super excited about the plant flipping.
Melissa: Our friend is actually the one who got us turned on to flipping plants. We're like, this is a thing. We were, we were at our house and we're like, how do? What?
Like, you can make good money flipping plants. What!
Rob: Super excited about that one. It opened my eyes to what is actually possible out there, especially with the plant flipping. Yeah. So, but we have sneaker flipping, We have used shoe flipping. We have just so many different ways, to be able to make money in this arena.

Nick Loper, we have him from Side Hustle Nation, so he's talking about how to three x your business with different strategies, what you can use.
So we have a lot of the business stuff in there and then a lot of niche topics. We're talking about you. Why we like to do the high profit items and appliance flipping. So we're diving into that because that's our niche and we love it and everybody's kind of their own thing that they get really good at.
And then we're teaching other people. So, so yeah.
Rob: It's gonna be so much fun.

So we, we wouldn't be right if we didn't show you guys kind of more about what we do, you guys are on here, you know what we do, but wanna dig a little bit deeper into appliance flipping and show you the next level that you can go to appliance flipping if that's the, the, the way that you wanna go. So, super excited about our presentation. But also we have Vendoo. Vendoo is back this year. They are sponsoring the event. So super excited, to be able to partner with them again.

So super excited about that as well.
Super, super thankful for Josh over at vendoo.
Melissa: Yeah, and I don't, I don't know if we have time to go through everybody. I don't wanna, like, you know, we have so many awesome people, but I don't wanna leave people out either, cuz we have the, like Rachel Strickland, she's talking about some mindset stuff cuz we get stuck like a lot of times we have to break through that stuff and you don't, might feel like you need that, but it's so important. Like we have to break through stuff constantly. We do, and luckily we have each other to talk things out because we're very different and we probably have heard that throughout this podcast. Like we have very different mindsets and we have to like help each other get through some of the blocks that we have.
Rob: Yeah.
Melissa: So, she's talking about that we actually have John Lee Dumas from Entrepreneurs On Fire talking about productivity because that is his, he is like militant when it comes to productivity. He does things just by the book. So we're excited to have him, like, how can you be more productive in the time that you have.
Rob: So yeah, if you don't know JLD, JLD is insane. And what he has accomplished in the short amount of time that he's been doing his podcast is totally like off the charts. It's amazing. So to be able to pick his brain and get some great, great ideas on how he was able to do what he's done. And implement it into even the reselling business. And every single business you can really learn, from somebody who is successful and JLD is successful, he is an amazing and amazing entrepreneur.
