Do you know that there is a Marketplace on Facebook now? Yes, you’re now allowed to sell or offer your services on Facebook to everyone in your networks without being charged a fee for posting. All you need to do is find things that will sell and you are sure to make some cash from being at your favorite online hangout each day. In this article I am going to talk about the 5 things that will surely sell when posted on Facebook. Consider one or two of these ideas and then wait for the messages requesting your service/products.
Tip: Make sure to take all payments through PayPal, this will help to ensure that you are paid and that there will be no problems with that.
– Tutoring
Do you tutor people for money during your free time? Well if you do, and you’re looking for more customers, then placing an Add on the Facebook Marketplace and on your profile is something you should do. All you have to put is a way for them to contact you, the subjects you tutor for, and the days you work and hourly rate that you charge. You can also add what your grades on those subjects have been and if you’ve had any success in tutoring already.
– T-Shirts
Do you have a lot of new extra t-shirts that you want to get rid of but you don’t want to give away? Do you have a Cafepress.com shop that you’re not getting any sales from? If this sounds like you, then go ahead and take pictures of your products and put them on the Facebook Marketplace as well. Price them cheap and give a good description of what the item looks like. Add what the price will be, if you will deliver it or if they’ll have to pick it up, and don’t forget to mention the sizes that you have available.
– Babysitting
This is something great that you can sell on Facebook! If you do babysitting before school or after school then place your add on your Facebook profile and on the Marketplace. Mention the experience you have and if you have recommendation. Also talk about the days that you have available, the hours, and what you charge. Make sure to put a way for potential customers to reach you at; leave a phone number and an email address.
– Books
If you buy cheap books at bookstores or if you just want to get rid of your old textbooks and novels you’ve already read, then do it on Facebook. All you have to do is take a picture of the book you have, pick a price, and then write a small description letting the Facebookers know in what conditions the book is and how they will receive it. You can also try selling other people’s books and then charge comission; this always works best when done right before or right after a semester.
– Software
Do you know of software that can be redistributed by anyone? This software is usually freeware on the internet or open source software found on random sites online? Well if you do, then consider putting a small price on it and putting it up on Facebook. Make sure to let the readers know that you’re not selling the software to them, you’re selling the labor that you put into finding it and you can also charge to install it on their computers. Think about good free software out there; look for office suite alternatives and adobe product alternatives.
