In this episode, Kip breaks down exactly how live selling works on Whatnot and TikTok, how he sources liquidation goods for 80–90% off retail, what his first stream looked like (150 items sold in under two hours), and how anyone can make their first $1,000 in profit live selling. He also covers hiring streamers, switching categories, selling food on live, and why he thinks live selling is the biggest untapped opportunity in e-commerce right now.
