Send a text https://linktr.ee/KarriKennedy In this episode of the 1K6S series, I discuss SCRIPT — the direction of your show. I talk about how to host the room, communicate clearly with buyers, and create a smooth flow so people understand what’s happening and feel comfortable participating. Direction, clarity, and good communication make a live show easier for buyers to follow and easier for sellers to run. #KarriKennedy #WhyNotWhatnot #1K6S #WhatnotSeller #LiveSelling #ResellerCommunity #Li...
Send a text https://linktr.ee/KarriKennedy SETUP — your equipment Tools in place and signal strong, So nothing technical goes wrong. When your signal is steady, your phone is clear, and your equipment is ready before you go live, the room feels smooth and focused from the very beginning. Buyers can see the item, hear you clearly, and follow the show without distractions. Those small technical details create a show that feels organized, confident, and easy for people to stay in. #WhyNotWhatnot...

Send a text https://linktr.ee/KarriKennedy Welcome to The 1K6S Series. In this first episode, we’re talking about why reaching 1,000 sales on Whatnot matters and what actually changes once you hit that milestone. When you reach 1K, your payout is pretty much automatic. You get paid when you print your labels instead of waiting for delivery and a good review. Before we move into strategy, I also share a foundational checklist every new seller should consider before going live, because yo...

I’ve had multiple people reach out after getting rejected, frustrated and confused about what they did wrong.

If you were denied, don’t panic and don’t blindly reapply. Level up, strengthen you...

Send a text https://linktr.ee/KarriKennedy Flat Rate Shipping is one of the most misunderstood topics on Whatnot, and the 5 lb. myth refuses to die. In this episode, I break down exactly how USPS Flat Rate actually works, what the 70 lb. rule really means, how packaging and labels must match, and why that weight printed on your label is not the limit. If you ship on Whatnot and want zero confusion and zero panic at the post office, this is the episode to save and share. #KarriKennedy #FlatRat...
Send a text In this episode, I really give people who are complaining and whining and acting entitled and like they’re the victims, blaming everybody and everything, including the algorithm for their risk choice. I encourage people that are sensitive and feel that they may be triggered not to listen to this episode. . https://linktr.ee/KarriKennedy Support the show
Send a text Not every exit is about you. But some might be. If people are clicking into your show and leaving fast, it doesn’t automatically mean you’re doing something wrong. Sometimes it’s just how the app works. The feed is behavior-based (think Amazon), viewers bounce between rooms, and not everyone who clicks plans to stay. In this episode, we break down the difference between normal algorithmic behavior and the parts that actually belong to you — things like preparation, professio...

Should you have a show? Is it the right time?
