Poshmark Virtual Assistants – The Facts
As you grow your Poshmark business and your Poshmark closet continues to grow many sellers become overwhelmed with sharing. When it comes to running your Poshmark business you are sourcing, photographing, listing, organizing, interacting with potential buyers, responding to low ball offers, sharing, sending offers, and, shipping. Did I mention Sharing and Sharing and Sharing and Sharing! As a seller, you may consider hiring a Poshmark virtual assistant to handle the sharing aspect of your closet.
Areas to consider when hiring Poshmark Virtual Assistants
When hiring a Poshmark virtual assistant you should consider Cost, Features, and Account Security.
Cost
I have seen Poshmark virtual assistants offering sharing packages upwards of $250.00 a month for 100,000+ guaranteed shares a month. You will see these assistants will also add daily bonus shares as well to compete with other Poshmark virtual assistant services. Weekly packages range in price with an average of $25 for 5000-7000 shares per week. The question you have to ask yourself is are the Poshmark virtual assistants actually sharing your closet manually? Do they actually have a team sharing your closet manually? or Are they using a Poshmark Bot to share?
Features
What features you should consider from your Poshmark virtual assistant:
- # of Daily Shares
- # of Weekly Shares
- # of Monthly Shares
- The % of shares which will be self shares.
- The % of shares which will be community shares.
- # of Follows
Account Security
The most important consideration in hiring a Poshmark virtual assistant is the security of your account. Poshmark virtual assistants will need to access to your account. Your accounts banking information, sales history, balance, and business strategy are all visible to a stranger or multiple employees of these Poshmark virtual assistant businesses. As they all claim to have a team that manually shares your closet daily. Do you have the same account manager accessing your account daily or is it multiple people? Do these companies actually have employees? Are these Poshmark virtual assistants really using software to share your closet, while selling you that they manually sharing? How would you ever know besides their word of mouth? Providing access to your account is not only dangerous but also provides an inside look at how you run your business. Lets hypothetically say you have found a niche with a not so popular brand that sells very well. Allowing a stranger to observe this success could bring more competition to your niche market.
Are Poshmark Virtual Assistants really sharing manually?
We reached out to several virtual assistants to get some insight just on this. We were told that they all manually shared their client’s closet and had teams. With teams and employees, you would believe they should legally have a registered business within their respective states. We could not dig up any officially registered Poshmark virtual assistants who registered within their states, FISHY! The same companies have created multiple fake email accounts to attempt to fool their clients into believing they have the massive TEAM of employees when in reality it’s one person using a bot!
One of the largest Poshmark virtual assistants companies indicated they have over 2000 monthly clients.
Let’s dive into those numbers
- 2000 Monthly clients
- 100,000 shares monthly (Average based on a monthly package of shares from multiple VA’s)
2000 (Clients) x 100,000 (Shares) = 200,000,000 Million Monthly Shares!
There are 3,600 seconds in an hour, 86,400 seconds in a day, and 2,592,000 (2.5 Mil) seconds in a 30 day month.
Even if you cut the estimated shares of a Poshmark virtual assistant to 100,000,000 Million a month, physically there is just not enough time for a person to manually share at that level. If you could manually share at a rate of 1 sec per listings around the clock for a month the best you could do would be 2.5 million shares. In order to operate a business to share 100 Million shares, you would need 40 people to share around the clock continuously. The number of people required would be doubled if you factored in rest and the pure fact it just physically impossible to share at the level manually.
Not Convince Yet? Let’s Look at the Hourly Rates of VA’s
When sharing your Poshmark closet the avg person shares between 2-3 seconds a listing. Below you will see that a popular VA, is bringing in between $1.48 – $2.15 an hour to share your closet. Would you share a closet for $2.00 an hour manually, every day 7 days a week, 365 days a year? Heck NO! The only way these companies can make a profit is by using software! Using software allows the VA to share faster, and to run multiple computers at the same time to actually make a profit.
So Why Pay $100+ a month when you can use the same software they use for as little as $7.99 a month?
The Breakdown!
A Monthly Package of $119.99 that guarantees 90,000 monthly shares
Daily Shares – 3,000
Daily Cost – $3.87
Cost Per Share – $.00133
Time to Share 3,000 Listings @ 2-Second Interval = 1h 40 m / $2.15 per hour.
Time to Share 3,000 Listings @ 3-Second Interval = 2h 30 m / $1.48 per hour.
It’s Just Not Possible
As you can see the numbers just do not add up, Poshmark virtual assistants will always state two things “We manually share” and “Using a bot will have your account banned” Before truly considering a Poshmark virtual assistant you need to do your homework. Simply looking at the math alone should have you running away. The numbers will tell the facts! Poshmark virtual assistants use bots to share your closet but will deny it every time. Poshmark virtual assistant use bot software built like Closet Assistant to share your closet and charge nearly 15x times the price then Closet Assistant.
Look at the recent case of a very popular VA who was caught red-handed using a bot when the bot service pulled the software license when they saw the VA flat out lying to clients. Clients were fooled into paying a $180.00 monthly fee for 6000 daily shares. During the whole fall out the VA still would not admit to using a bot even though it was pretty black and white. The Story.
