3. Enable Facebook Marketplace on your profile if you haven’t already. Just go to your home page and enter “marketplace” in the search field.
4. Go to the Facebook Marketplace page and click on the button that says “Post Listing to Marketplace.”
5. Enter the item that you’re selling. Use persuasive and descriptive words, but be brief in this field.
6. Choose your location (it may show the nearest major city by default, and you might not be able to change this location).
7. Select the type of item you’re selling from the drop down menu provided. Choose the best possible category that your item fits into (i.e. “Stuff”). You may also be given the opportunity to choose subcategories. Take advantage of this (i.e. “Stuff? Clothes? Shoes”). Be sure to do this, you’ll get more targeted interest this way.
8. Enter the reason why you are selling the item in the proper field.
9. Describe the item. Again, use persuasive and descriptive words, but don’t get overly wordy. Try to keep your description to less than 100 words, but make sure that you include all pertinent information (size, weight, shape, condition of the item, age of the item, etc.) depending on what you’re selling. You may also choose to upload a picture of the item. You should always do this if possible. It will increase your chances of selling the item.
10. Choose whether you want it to appear in the whole marketplace or just to your Facebook friends only by clicking in the appropriate field. (Note: always choose “marketplace.” You’ll have a much wider audience.)
11. Click “Post” when finished.
12. Choose “Allow” when the Marketplace box pops up.
13. Enter your email address if prompted.
14. Supply information requested, if prompted. This may include your name and email. You may also be asked to supply a password. Make sure that you agree to the Terms of Service (the box should be checked by default).
15. You’ll be sent an automatic email. You’ll have to follow the instructions in the email to activate the listing.
Difficulty Rating: 2 – This is about the easiest method of using Facebook to make money. The only reason we didn’t give it a “1″ for simplicity is because it will take you some extra time to set up a PayPal account, Marketplace account, etc. if you are brand new to this. Those who already have all of these things will probably find this to be more of a “1″ in terms of simplicity.
