how to make money selling sex toys
Well, my friend, I’ve recently been making some extra money selling sex toys, and let me tell you – it’s a pretty fun activity! It’s not exactly something I’m proud to announce, but it’s been an awesome side hustle. Plus, I get to meet some cool people and hear some interesting stories. Who knows, it may even help me out of debt someday!
I started by just perusing through some online forums and ads which promote the sale of adult items, and quickly found that there is solid market for people who want to buy sex toys. Usually, I find customers on websites like Craigslist, Twitter and Reddit. They post ads or tweets asking for someone to sell them a sex toy, and I’m more than happy to oblige.
The process usually starts off with some pleasantries and small talk on the phone. Then I let them know what toys I have available for sale. Most customers want to see photos of the items before they purchase, so I take pictures of all my toys and send them to the customer. This has definitely come in handy for me, as I have been able to make sure that none of my sex toys have any defects when advertising them.
Once I have a customer that is interested, I negotiate a price with them. My formula is usually simple – I add the cost of the toy to shipping, and then add a 10-15% markup. This way, everyone is happy – I get a good chunk of the money for the toy, and the customer gets a good deal. After we agree on a price, I ship the toy via USPS, which usually takes anywhere from two to three days.
Finally, I get paid via PayPal, Venmo or cash. If it is a cash transaction, I try to always meet the customer in public or invite them over to my place. That way, everyone can feel safe and comfortable.
Once you’ve got the hang of selling sex toys, it can actually become quite profitable. Some people can make hundreds- even thousands- of dollars a month by doing this. Try using social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, or even Facebook to advertise your services. Word of mouth is always a great way to get people to know about and trust your business.
Also, look into specialized forums where people go to buy sex toys. Often times these boards have tight security and attention to detail. It is important to be aware of the common scams and to use caution when dealing with customers. Do your research, sex dolls only take payments through secure payment systems, like PayPal or Venmo, and always include a tracking number when shipping. This is to give customers peace of mind, as well as to ensure that your items arrive safely and on time.
When it comes to prices, always keep in mind that buyers want a good deal. So be sure to price competitively. Again, don’t forget to factor in shipping costs and leave room for a little extra profit. If you do these things, you should have no problem making money selling sex toys.
As for the types of toys out there, you can find basically anything under the sun. From your basic dildos and vibrators, to more sophisticated items such as cock rings, strap-ons, and bondage gear. There are dozens upon dozens of items to choose from, so do some research and figure out what is popular in your area.
The key to success when it comes to selling sex toys is to be creative. Try reaching out to bloggers and influencers who enjoy talking about sex toys, and offering them free items in exchange for a review. This is a great way to get the word out about your products. You can also use Twitter or Instagram to advertise discounts and sales, which is always great for getting people to buy.
And finally, make sure you’re up to date on the latest trends in the sex toy industry. According to some research, people are more likely to buy higher end products, such as luxury sex toys and premium lubricants. So, make sure you have a good variety of items, and that you offer the best quality for the price.
At the end of the day, selling sex toys is a fun, profitable – and occasionally racy – way to make money. You may not be completely comfortable talking about intimate personal items, but with the right attitude and a bit of practice you can start making a pretty decent side hustle. Good luck!
