Finding it hard to keep your reselling community active and engaged? Community challenges are a proven solution to spark motivation and friendly competition. Use these ready-to-go templates to create fun challenges that encourage participation and keep your members coming back.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Community challenges tap into people's natural love for games, recognition, and shared experiences. By setting achievable goals and encouraging members to share their progress, you foster a sense of accomplishment and belonging. This playful, motivating format breaks up routine conversation and gives everyone a reason to join in, from shy lurkers to top contributors.
Challenges also create momentum within your reselling community. When members see others posting their results or creative solutions, they're more likely to participate themselves. The element of friendly competition or collective progress strengthens connections and makes your group feel dynamic and supportive.

To implement these templates, choose a challenge that fits your community's vibe and current interests. Announce the challenge with clear instructions, a start and end date, and any rewards or recognition for participating. Pin the post or highlight it in your main feed. Encourage members to share their updates using a specific hashtag or thread. Recognize participation by commenting, featuring results, or offering small prizes. Rotate or remix challenges regularly to keep things fresh and engaging.
No matter which platform you use, keep challenge posts concise and visually engaging. Use pinned posts, stories, or featured threads to promote your challenge. Encourage members to share photos, screenshots, or short updates in comments or replies. Consider using polls or hashtags to track participation across all platforms.
Many templates in this library are designed to spark brag posts or sourcing highlights. You can adapt challenges like 'Best Flip Challenge' or 'Sourcing Showdown' to prompt members to post photos and details of their most profitable or unusual reselling finds. Offering a small prize or badge for the most impressive story each week can boost participation and foster healthy competition.
For multi-platform sellers, create a challenge that focuses on cross-listing techniques, storage solutions for diverse product types, and tracking inventory across different marketplaces. Use templates like 'Inventory Makeover Week' or 'Cross-Listing Challenge' to prompt members to share before-and-after photos, tips on using inventory management tools, and workflow hacks tailored to juggling multiple selling sites.
Try adapting the 'Price Drop Power Hour' or 'Listing Optimization Challenge' templates. Encourage members to revisit stagnant listings, experiment with price adjustments, and share their results (e.g., increased views or sales). Facilitate discussions around strategies like ending and relisting, promoted listings, and leveraging market research tools specific to reselling.
Absolutely! Use challenge prompts like 'Photo Glow-Up Day' or 'Flat Lay Mastery.' Ask members to post before-and-after photos, share tips for lighting, background selection, or photo editing apps popular in the reselling community. You can set criteria for the challenge, such as using only natural light or showcasing difficult items like shoes or electronics.
Leverage templates like 'List-a-Thon,' 'Dead Stock Bust,' or 'Slow Season Sprint' to motivate members to list stale inventory, bundle items, or experiment with new categories. Foster engagement by having members set personal sales goals, track progress, and share tips for attracting buyers during known slowdowns in the resale calendar.
Select templates that allow for customization based on commitment level, such as 'Mini Listing Challenges' or 'Weekend Sourcing Missions.' Encourage members to set their own goals within the challenge framework and celebrate achievements at all levels—whether it's listing 5 items or 50. This inclusive approach ensures that both power sellers and casual resellers feel welcome and motivated.
