Hey Josh! So happy you're back to working for yourself. I use to edit all my photos, and then only my cover photos, and then I just stopped. For me it came down to time. I even stopped using my backdrop! I only edit photos for Amazon when listing a new item to their catalog because it's required. A nice wood desk and clean wall is all I need!

@Josh-Kim

I definitely end up changing how I do photos every so often lol. I'll go through a phase of just using my desk, and bounce back and forth between editing photos. You can definitely make sales with the set-up you have!

you just sold me on purchasing the full version of photoroom with the selecting multiple pictures at the same time.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve also started taking mine in advance. Since I store in totes, I start by grabbing an empty tote fill it, then I know the custom sku info too. Or grab a partial, figure out what will fit and stack in a pile that way for photos. I usually pull up the pics on my iPad if I have any questions on something instead of relooking an the in progress listing. It works for scanning bar codes too.

Do you always take the photo before creating a listing? I've been buying in bulk so there are times when things are not worth anything so I usually research price and draft a bunch of listings and then take all the photos afterwards because I don't wanna take photos of things I won't list.

@Josh-Kim

When I buy in bulk, I usually take some time to sort through it and create piles for items I plan to list individually, items I play to sell in lots, and items I plan to donate. Once I sort through the bulk buy, I just pull from the piles I created to start taking photos. I found that's what works best for me!
