Kao spends her weekends sourcing clothes at the local Goodwill Outlet. "Sourcing is when you pick up inventory for your closet that you decide to sell," Kao explains. "I wake up at 7 a.m., or as early as I can, [so that] I can get the first pick of the day."

The trip takes her about seven hours, including commuting time — but it is worth it. "You buy clothing by the pound. Where I usually go in Los Angeles, it's about $2 per pound," Kao explains. "So when you think about that, if you find a really cute tank top, and it's lightweight, you could sell it for $20 or more. And then you've already profited ninefold. I profit the most from thrifting at the Goodwill Outlet.

Since the pandemic, sales have gone up. "I think when Covid shut down in-store shopping, a lot of people transitioned online," Kao says. "And when the appblew up during quarantine, users were sharing thrifting hauls, DIY videos, and showing off outfits that they repurposed. I think that really encouraged a lot of users to buy used clothing."

"I think for sure there is a novelty in selling used clothes," Kao adds. "Vintage shirts sell really well in my closet — not only are they comfortable and trendy, but there's that sense of nostalgia in each shirt and each graphic."‘Be patient and follow your own path’ If you want to start a side hustle or a business, Kao says, find the way that makes sense for you. And remember to be patient.and millions of sales every day,” she explains. “But it doesn’t benefit you to compare your process to someone else's. Instead I believe that you should work hard, try to be the best that you can be, and see where it takes you."
