Have you ever heard of Whatnot?
Imagine the Shopping Channel on steroids. It’s a platform where vendors can live stream their products 24/7.
We’re joined today by top seller Zoreen Kabani who knows how to thrive on Whatnot and shares her tips, experiences, and insights. She first dove in part-time, but after finding success and incredible fulfilment, made it her very full-time work after only a few months, where she now nets a 6-figure income.
She’s only been doing it for about 2 years.
The good news for our side hustle community is that most sellers are in it part-time.
Zoreen tells us;
- how it all works,
- what makes her successful on the platform,
- fees charged by Whatnot,
- challenges she’s had to overcome, and
- insider tips on gaining traction.
