# How to Make your OfferUp Posts Stand Out

If your house is full of clutter and you're over it, one thing that you can consider doing is to sell the things you no longer want online. It is a great way of tidying up and making money on the side. Once you've gathered up all your for-sale items, you can look at all the best sites like OfferUp, or simply just post on OfferUp.

OfferUp is a relatively new selling app which is very similar to eBay. You can safely and conveniently sell your items or buy things that you need through this platform without having to start your website.

It is so convenient because you can buy and sell a variety of products on this site. Everything from your old car, electronics that are still working, brand-new clothing, tickets, and toys can be posted on OfferUp. Of course, there is a limitation. You can't sell hope and prayers or offer your services through it. Only tangible items can be posted.

Gift cards are also something you are forbidden to sell. Alcoholic drinks is another forbidden product. If you have items that you might think could fall in the grey area, you should contact the site first before attempting to post on.

After determining that your product is safe to sell on OfferUp, you can start working on your post. Let's say you are selling your knitted sweater. If you go on the site, you will see a bunch of postings for a knitted sweater. It is going to be hard to stand out. However, there are things that you can do to catch the attention of those browsing for things to buy.

Since the first thing that browsers will see is the picture of your product, you need to make sure that you present it in the best possible way. Make sure that it is clean and looks neat. People won't want to buy our sweater if it's all stained or crumpled up. Make sure that you take its pictures somewhere with good lighting. Take its pictures from different angles so the potential buyer can see it better.

Research strong keywords to use for your post's title and product description. Always include the item's brand, model, size, and color. This will help the buyers to find you. Be honest with the words that you use. Describe the item as best as you can but never over-embellish.

To establish a bigger pool of potential buyers, post your items on other [best sites like OfferUp](https://www.techwino.com/best-apps-like-offer-up/). Check out Craigslist, Mercari, or even Facebook Market. Share the links on the OfferUp listing so that more people can see it. The more people laying eyes on the product, the bigger the chance that somebody will like it and offer to purchase it.
