I understand the change of landscape when it comes to selling online. Can almost see the end of the traditional yard sale, moving sales any day of the week, no matter the weather, and boom.

My only thought is that in order for this to work for the “every day person” they have to think of something they can sell. Not everyone wants to sell their stuff, not everyone has a course to sell, merch, etc.

So it goes back to just being active on social. But does this move “force” people to figure out what their selling point is, or is this just another option for those who want to take advantage of it.

I don’t see estate sales and yard sales going away. Not everyone wants to be on camera and ship things from their house.

I also don’t see live commerce as a MUST for everybody who streams. Not everybody wants to be sold to, which at this moment, is what Whatnot is. For that reason, there will always be a place for live streaming video games, IRL streams, etc.

But if you do have something to sell and are entertaining, you can say goodbye to the job you don’t like, stream an hour a day and make 5x more
