Cash In On Your Spring Closet Clean-Out

Spring is here, and your closet might just be a goldmine! Clearing out the old isn't just about staying organized, it's a chance to earn extra cash while giving your fits a second life.

Here's your guide to turning your closet clean-out into extra revenue:

Sell what shoppers want now

As you declutter, don’t just toss — curate. Set aside any pieces in great condition that can be resold or donated. This is the perfect time to list spring items like sandals, sundresses, and light layers. With the weather warming up, shoppers are eager to refresh their closets.

Know where your items will sell best

Online marketplaces mean more buyers, but strategy matters. Consider what you're listing and who’s most likely to want it. Certain items perform better on specific platforms — trendy basics or closet staples tend to do well on Poshmark, while vintage finds and Y2K styles are a perfect match for Depop. A little research can go a long way in helping your listings stand out and sell faster.

Create listings that actually sell

Make your listings stand out with bright, clear photos taken from multiple angles. Include shots of the label, care instructions, and any small flaws —honesty builds trust with buyers. Some pieces photograph better when worn, so don’t hesitate to style the full look and model it yourself. And don’t forget to share your Depop or Poshmark link on Motom, tagging the original retailer if the item is still in stock. It’s a simple way to boost your visibility — and potentially earn a little extra.

When you snap outfit photos for resale, why not repurpose them on Motom? Simply upload your look, tag the items (or similar ones), and earn commission when eligible products sell — even if your original was already snagged on Depop.
