POSHMARK EXPERIMENT: I FOLLOWED 10,000 PEOPLE IN ONE DAY | How many did I gain? Do followers matter?

  • This extreme experiment was fueled by the idea that following tons and tons of people will result in overwhelming Poshmark activity such as gaining followers, likes, offers, and even sales! I tracked data (followers, likes, and sales) on my "normal" Poshmark activity for a week, then I followed 10,000 people, then I tracked the impact this made on my activity for the following week. This was an insane experiment with even more insane results!

    You are a frustrated social scientist! I love these experiments! It's like trying to mess with the algorithm god. When I click on News, I don't want to see who has followed me, or shared my stuff at all! I wish it could be turned off! Likes or Offers only would be so much better! Thanks again for making the Poshmark experience more interesting.

    The best content I’ve seen about Poshmark so far! You put into words assumptions I’ve made about followers for years. Beyond symbolizing validity, they don’t matter. I stopped actively following others after 100K and sales have been stable.

    I did a similar experiment on my channel a year ago. I found a serial follower and followed everyone who was following them (knowing I’d get more followers that way). I only followed for maybe 20 mins and made 2 full price sales and 1 - 10% off sale which was way out of the ordinary for me. Thanks for sharing your experiment.

I only choose the initial serial follower if they follow at least 4-5 times the number of followers they have. It definitely has made a difference!

    Thank you so much, I know this was a lot of work. I do appreciate it because it verified something that I have been wondering about for a while now. I always follow people who follow me first, however I don't go out searching for followers. I think I have enough work just trying to list & share my own items. Just today I had someone purchase an item from my closet & they were not following me or I them. Again, thanks for clarifying things.

  • @caylyneoodlesofposh6998
    @caylyneoodlesofposh6998 3 года назад

    It definitely depends on how you select accounts to follow... I personally have not found the highest success following new closets either. Targeted following takes a lot of time IMO, however following followers of large accounts yields a much larger return on followers- since those people have recently followed those large accounts you know 1) they are recently active, and 2) they are following accounts. Also, I find what I call "follow campaigns" yield better results over time, not just one day- I've heard over and over that it's related to Poshmark's algorithm, consistent behavior over time instead of one or two days is what yields best results on the platform. Hope that helps!

    I personally go to the new people and see who followed them, then I click on one of those people and if their “followers” numbers are pretty close to their “following” then I can assume that they follow mostly people who follow them back. I then go to their followers and follow all of them. I get so many followers like that.

    The only thing that helps me sell is listing consistently every day or at least 5 days and at least 5 to 10 items a day. I never share anyone’s closet and stopped following people like I did when I first started on Poshmark 2 years ago. I will share my closet maybe 1 to 2x a day. I make sales consistently

    Very interesting and analytic experiment! I'm wondering if you had fewer likes in the days after the experiment, since those folks just purchased the item without liking it? Did you happen to notice if that increase in sales was from likers or non-likers? I love making videos on poshmark strategies! This is a good one :)

    • @HannahAlonzo
      @HannahAlonzo  3 года назад +1

      That’s a great question! All 6 of the sales made prior to the experiment were from likers, and 9 of the 10 sales made after the experiment were from likers. So 15/16 sales during those two weeks came from people who weren’t following me, but who liked something!

    • @HannahAlonzo

    I have an interesting idea for an experiment - however it might be detrimental to your closet so I'm not going to actually ask you to do it....just saying it would be interesting. So some say that Listing is essential in pleasing the Poshmark algorithm and if you don't list then sales lag. I can say that when I've taken breaks in listing new items I have seen a lull in not only sales but general activity (likes on items, offers or counter offers etc - stuff that matters). It would be cool to see if you went for some set length of time with out listing anything new how that would correlate to sales in comparison to times when you were actively listing at least one new item or more per day.

    • @HannahAlonzo

I was curious about following people and if it helps etc so I do super appreciate this video you did. I noticed right when I made my account I got so many followers immediately, so I was curious if it would be worth it to take time out to follow them all back.
    I’ve decided to take your advice and follow those that like my items and or buy something from me. I will also be following people who post items I would be interested in buying. 😁
