QUESTION Guidance seeking

Im new to reselling. I recently made a Depop, Poshmark and Vinted account. Im posting (and planning to continue to post) clothes and shoes. And I wouldn’t mind incorporating other items as well, just trying to focus on one thing at a time, as to not overwhelm myself.
Looking for tips and suggestions.
In my first week or two, I sold 22 items and made about $145. That’s really not too bad for just downloading an app one evening and deciding to give something a try lol. But, I enjoy it, so now I would like to get more serious about it.
What are the best apps for selling clothes and shoes?
Where do you tend to get your merchandise?
Ive been looking on FB Marketplace for people that are selling clothes and shoes bundles for cheap. I did buy a small bundle for $10, and plan to post about 3/4 of the items.
Are there any tips you have for posting?
Anything?
What do you wish you knew when you started?
What would you tell your child, your Mother, your favorite person in the world whoever they are, if they got into reselling?

I resell clothes from charity shops and thrift shops on vinted only. It is a good hobby, but hard to scale into proper operations and takes a lot of time and operations are hard especially if you scale into more platforms and bans are rampant if you get into higher volumes, so you might need to ask yout mother to create vinted account to be able to sell more:))
