WELL IN THIS ECONOMIC CLIMATE THATS A DIFFICULT QUESTION BECAUSE AT TIMES THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT. BUT LETS LOOK AT IT MORE CLOSELY. WEVE BEEN RAVAGED BY COVID RESULTING IN ILLNESS, UNEMPLOYMENT AND MORE RECENTLY BY HYPER INFLATION DUE TO THE ASTRONOMICAL LEVEL OF CORPORATE GREED. OUR SOCIETY HAS BECOME ALMOST TOTALLY INTERNET BASED BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE TECHNOLOGY HAS EVOLVED FASTER THAN THE GENERAL PUBLIC CAN KEEP UP WITH IT. THE 3 FACTORS ABOVE CREATED A SITUATION WHERE PEOPLE JUST DONT HAVE THE DISPOSABLE INCOME TO BUY THINGS LIKE THEY DID 5 YEARS AGO. THEIR FOCUS IS ON THINGS THEY REALLY NEED LIKE CLOTHING SHOES FURNITURE WHICH LEAVES OUT PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WHO SELL THINGS IN THE NICHE MARKETPLACE LIKE COLLECTABLES AND VINTAGE ITEMS. NO MATTER HOW CREATIVE YOUR ADS ARE IF THERE ARE NO HITS THERE IS NO INTEREST AND YOU HAVE TO RETIRE THAT ITEM AND OFFER IT AT ANOTHER TIME. SO PEOPLE MOVE FROM ONE PLATFORM TO ANOTHER HOPING THINGS WILL IMPROVE. NOW AS FATE WOULD HAVE IT MARKETPLACE IS THE NEW SUCCESSFUL PLATFORM. ONE OF THE REASONS IS INNOVATION LIKE ADMINISTRATED GROUPS OF PEOPLE BUYING, SELLING AND DISCUSSING PARTICULAR ITEMS IN WHICH THEY HAVE INTEREST. THAT IS THE REASON ALL THE OTHER PLATFORMS ARE SLOWING DYING ON THE VINE. THEYRE NOT GROWING WITH THE CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE. FREE ADS AND CONTESTS DONT CUT IT ANYMORE BUT UNUSAL ITEMS FOR SALE DO. SO THE NATURE AND TYPE OF ITEM IS THE KEY TO A PURCHASE OR SALE AND THE CREATIVE STYLING OF YOUR AD NOT 2 LINES ABOUT AN ITEM THAT WOULDNT GENERATE THE INTEREST IN A DONKEY FROM MISSOURI. NO OFFENSE TO MISSOURI. NOW A GENERAL RULE OF THUMB WITH LISTINGS IS IF THERE ARE NO HITS OR ONLY A FEW IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS ITS TIME TO MOVE ON. THE KEY TO SELLING IS CONSTANT MONITORING AND CHANGING YOUR ADS REGULARILY TO KEEP THEM FRESH AND BELIEVE ME ITS DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING TO SAY THE LEAST
