Hey Reseller Friends,

Let’s play a quick game.

If I magically handed you 5 extra hours this week, would you:

• Stare at a wall in peace for once?
• Actually finish your coffee hot?
• Plot your next self care day without 42 mental tabs open?

Because here's the truth nobody says out loud:
Most people guard their money like it’s gold and toss their time around like it’s the sad gift-with-purchase you got on your last Poshmark order.

But in business? Time is your real currency.

Money’s cute. You can make more. Time? Once it's gone, it's in the abyss with all your unread Poshmark emails and unposted listings. 

That’s why I’m starting this series—not to overhype AI like it’s the answer to world peace, but to show you how it can protect your time, boost your brilliance, and save your sanity.

You're the magic. AI just helps you stop drowning in admin tasks.

Real Talk: AI Isn’t Your Enemy (But Repetitive Work Might Be)

Let’s clear the air: Artificial intelligence isn't here to replace you as a reseller—it's here to equip you. Think of AI as a tool, not a threat. A powerful tool, yes—but only as effective as the person using it.

Picture this: You and a professional ninja are both handed the sharpest, most high-tech sword on the planet. Who do you think comes out on top? Exactly. The ninja. Not because the tool was different—but because the skillset was. The strategy. The experience. The know-how.

Now flip that. Imagine trying to go head-to-head with that same ninja, but all you have is a pencil. That’s what it feels like when you’re running a modern reselling business without leveraging the right tools—AI included.

I’ve tested AI tools behind the scenes for months. Some are total trash. Others? Game-changers. But one rule remains:

If it’s not saving me time, it’s not worth my attention.

And that’s what I want you to take away: You weren’t meant to spend the next five years manually writing listing descriptions, responding to repeat customer questions, or organizing data one line at a time. That’s not how you scale a reselling business. That’s how you burn out doing busywork.

Smart resellers use AI to automate the repetitive, streamline the process, and free up time for what actually drives revenue: sourcing smarter, marketing better, building relationships, and thinking like a CEO.

AI won’t replace you. But resellers who know how to use it? They just might.

✍️ Time Audit (Yes, Get a Stopwatch)

Before we get into the AI tools and time hacks, you need to know where your time is bleeding out.

Step 1: Write down every task you do in your reselling biz. Sourcing, photos, listing, shipping, emails, DM battles—everything.
Step 2: Highlight the ones that eat the most time.
Step 3: Ask yourself:
👉 If I got back 3–5 hours a week, what would I actually do with that time?

✨ Bonus points if your answer involves a nap, strategy, or actual joy.

Inside my reseller course, we go deeper. I make students time themselves on every task—yes, with a literal stopwatch—so they know exactly where their hours are going and what their hourly rate really is.

Why? Because if you don’t know your numbers, you’re just guessing. And guessing is cute until burnout shows up with a side of resentment. We will be timing different parts of your process during the series. Check below for your first assignment.

Part 2: The Listing Trap

We already dove into the most time-consuming (and soul-sucking) part of the business (in my opinion): listing. If you’ve ever stared at your screen trying to describe a black blazer for 12 minutes straight, this one’s for you.

Catch up here:
👉 Listing Magic: Let AI Write It So You Don’t Lose Your Will to Live

If you haven’t yet, try this exercise to prep for smoother listing:
⏱️ Time yourself writing just three listings. Don’t change anything—just track the times and write each item down and how long it took.
📓 Keep that homework somewhere visible—you’ll need it soon.

Questions, Comments, Concerns?

I’ve said it for years—make more, work less. It’s not just a catchy line, it’s my entire business philosophy. But for the longest time, that kind of efficiency required either outsourcing, a bigger financial investment, or diving deep into data. I still believe that these things are essential for growth. The fastest track? Leveraging cash was the easiest way... until now.

That’s changed.

AI is finally the tool that lets you scale smarter—with relatively small investments upfront.

So the question is: Are you ready to pick up your own high-tech ninja sword? Or are you still clutching that trusty number 2 pencil, hoping hustle alone will be enough?

Tell me what shocked you. Tell me what you’d do with your extra hours.
Or just yell “I HATE LISTINGS” in all caps—I’ll know exactly what you mean.

Stay tuned,
Isa
