YouTube reseller videos - not just for viewing

What is reselling? It is when you sell anything that has been owned by someone else before. You might have seen resellers at a flea market. Even yard sales are a form of reselling. Ever since going into reselling, I started watching YouTube videos made by people who are also resellers. I have learned so much from them. In fact, they have become my TV. I look forward to their next episodes and miss them when they haven't produced one for a while. I've grown fond of the people who make them and have gotten to know them through their videos. They feel the same way about their viewers, too, because they'll share their pains and fears and joys with those of us watching them. It becomes more than just a "how to" video. It becomes something "reality" TV will never be able to duplicate. I've learned what works both in reselling and how to know who to trust and who not to trust. Some offer enticing tidbits of advice but as you watch them more and more, you learn they're primarily trying to sell you their "how to" books. They won't really tell you anything unless you pay them. If they were as good at reselling as they claim, they wouldn't need to sell their e-books. If they're going to sell e-books, they should do it away from their videos, but most of us just beginning in the field can't afford to be buying some "professional's" stuff. Mostly, though, we become almost family in some cases, but mainly a support group where we can go to get advice, vent about the problems we're having, ask questions about the different selling platforms (ebay, Amazon, Bonanza, Poshmark, et al), complain about really bad customers, brag about super items we've found to sell and brag about our families. We don't let others attack any of our members (they are trolls) and will go out of our way to help someone get information on an item they want to sell but know nothing about. We cry, laugh, mourn - whatever everyday friends and family because that's what we've become.

The title rather misled me because I thought that it was referring to YouTube selling videos on.

@connierebel This seemed very odd since I could easily download the videos for free.

@Asylum Oops. sorry about that. But, that's partly why I started out with the explanation!! I also changed the title to say "reseller" rather than "reselling".

And TJ Kirk whines because he and other "producers" aren't being treated like 'professional broadcasters'

He seems to produce mostly anger-based video. His target audience will be specific and one-faceted. We have bouts of anger when they occur, but anyone who is consistently angry and attacking is eventually removed because that's not what we're about.

I hope it helps you understand those videos when you come across them.
