In this class, I will teach you a three-principle process to e-commerce success, e-commerce safety tips, and ways to stand out from the competition using nothing more than your smartphone’s camera. In this class, we’ll focus on three categories: books, clothes, and collectibles using the PangoBooks, Poshmark, and eBay platforms.
