Breanna Nelson shared her selling tips via a video posted to her TikTok channel, which she often uses to share her latest second hand hauls.

The Depop whizz revealed that the most important thing you can do to make money is to list new items every day.

She said: "I try to list five things a day and I've noticed that when I don't list consistently, my sales dramatically drop.

Breanna's second tip is to refresh your items.

She said that all you need to do to do this is click "edit" on your listings, and then just click "save".

Doing this will boost your items to the top of Depop's "For You Page", so that more people will see them.

Breanna's third tip is to add lots of hashtags and keywords to boost your search visibility.

She added that you should try to make your clothes look as appealing as possible by using good lighting and a plain background.

Adding a picture of yourself wearing the item will also help to boost sales as it helps people to see how the item looks when it's on.

Breanna also advised taking measurements of all of your clothes, so that sellers can be sure that they will fit in them.

Her final, and "most embarrassing" tip is to unfollow some of your followers, and then follow some new ones.

She said that this will boost your page to so many people.

"Every time I follow and unfollow a bunch of people, I make a bunch of sales", she said.

Breanna's video, which was posted under the username @breannathrifts, has likely left many people impressed, as it has racked up over 56,000 views on the video sharing platform.

TikTok users raced to the videos comments section to share their thoughts on her tips.

A second said: "Great tips".

A third said: "Thank you!"
