Is Whatnot the next big reselling platform?
In episode 102 of The Side Hustle Experiment Podcast John (https://www.instagram.com/sidehustleexperiment/) and Drew (https://www.instagram.com/realdrewd/) talk with Rick.
We break down why Amazon sellers are jumping ship and testing out selling on Whatnot. Rick, who still pulls in $40K/month on Amazon part-time, shares how he made $400 in just two hours on Whatnot — and why this could be the beginning of a new wave in live selling.
We compare Whatnot vs Amazon, break down how to get started, what mistakes to avoid, and how the platform rewards early adopters. If you're wondering how to sell on Whatnot, whether it’s worth it in 2025, or how to turn your old Amazon inventory into quick cash, this one’s for you.
