Poshmark’s IRL Posh Party

Don’t worry, this isn’t going to be an overwhelming conference vibe. From 6-figure side hustles to fashion merchandising students to millennials jumping the corporate ship to make more money selling full time, these are the next gen of resale entrepreneurs we can all draw inspiration from. The economic doom and the gloom right now make it all the more timely as people search for unconventional and easy ways to make more money.
