The Roast
"You're basically asking strangers to give you 20-30% of their sale for services they can YouTube in 10 minutes—good luck explaining that value prop when Aunt Karen already got 47 rewrite suggestions from her Facebook group. Taking commission on sales you don't control is the side hustle equivalent of asking for a percentage of someone's paycheck because you gave them interview advice."

đź’€ Why This Fails
- • Sellers won't accept 20-30% cuts on items they already listed—your value isn't 1/4 of the sale
- • Facebook Marketplace is built on lazy sellers who won't hire help; those motivated enough to improve listings will do it themselves
- • You're dependent on closing sales you can't control; a great listing doesn't guarantee a buyer shows up
âś… The Pivot
Offer fixed-rate 'listing audits' ($15-25) for eBay/Amazon sellers instead—they're already pros who know ROI and will pay upfront for faster sales. Start with one platform, build a small portfolio, then upsell to 'listing optimization packages' (batch 10 listings for $150). Commission models need leverage you don't have here.
