Facebook Marketplace made me $6,000 in one month and here's what I did. I had to sell everything. I thought maybe I'd make 2,000 but I ended up making 6,000. I wanted to share all the things that I learned during the process that I believe really made a difference in me making more money from it. I had like over 120 listings at one point. Before you list an item search it locally to see what the average price that it's going for near you is. I would aim to go towards the higher end especially if it's brand new. I would go a little bit higher than that and then specify in the title or the description that it's brand new. If you don't get any hits after like a week I would decrease the price. This also depends how much time you have. I had like six weeks to do the whole thing. Take good pictures. Make sure you clean it, dust it off a little. When people are searching for something they're trying to imagine that item in their home. Grainy photos, bad lighting, that's gonna be a turn off. You're just gonna get scrolled right by. Take several photos. I took like six photos of every item front, back, side, turn it all around. Make them want it in the photo. Facebook says that they promote the listing more if you have a video attached so you can do up to a 60 second video. It'll be the first thing that they see on your listing. Take the measurements. I know it's annoying but what's more annoying is having 10 people message you as soon as you list it, what's the height, what's the width. When you're taking the photos get your measuring tape out, take your measurements. Definitely for furniture pieces but even if it's just an action figure people are gonna wanna know how tall it is. In the description I included that I was selling multiple items and that I was willing to take a bundle deal if people wanted to offer something. When people would come to get one thing they would ask to see other stuff and I was like come on in we're selling it all. Several people bought like several things at one time. The last thing I have to say is respond to everyone. People message you all times of the day, middle of the night or like 5:00 am. I would be like ready and on it. I know there's the automated message hi is this still available that people click. People are using that for a reason. Have a response copied that you can paste ready to go to send. Don't respond to them with the automated hi yes it's available. Respond to them with some more information to get them to come and get the item. Say hi, yes it's available. When do you want to come get it? And I would get a lot more responses that way. So don't sleep on responding to all those automated hi is this availables because that's how you're gonna get it sold quicker. That's some of the stuff I learned on my Facebook Marketplace escapade.
