If
you have been thinking about selling some crafts or other items online to make
some extra cash it’s never been easier to sell your stuff online. Now you don’t
even need to have your own website to sell items. You can sell them directly on
social media without even having to take the time to put up your own site.
People like
buying through social media because they trust the social media platform more
than some websites. They have direct access to you through messages and they
can be sure that you received their order. Selling on social media is quickly
becoming the best way to sell items online. It gives buyers and sellers more
peace of mind because they can directly contact each other and if there is a
problem they can work it out person to person instead of going through some
customer service site.
Selling some
crafts or getting rid of household items that you don’t want anymore is a great
way to make some extra money for the holidays, a vacation, or just to pad your
savings a little. Here are some tips to help you get started selling on social
media:
Pick A Platform
You can sell
items directly on Facebook, Pinterest and many other social media sites.
Facebook and Pinterest are probably the best ones to sell on because they have
such a huge reach. And you can start by selling items directly to your friends
and family. Selling on Pinterest is easy but there is more competition. Selling
on Facebook is probably the best for beginners who haven’t sold items before.
Set Up A Page
You will need
a Facebook page for your business if you’re going to sell items that you make
or resale items. If you just want to sell some household items you can look for
a local sales group and sell your items directly to people in the community
through that group. But setting up a Facebook page is easy and it just takes a
few minutes. Once your page is up and running invite all your friends and
family members to like your page. If you want to increase the visibility of
your page you can run inexpensive Facebook ads that will make sure more people
see your new page in their newsfeeds. Then you can start posting.
Setting Up Seller Preferences
You’ll need
to use a third party merchant if you want to take payments through Facebook.
You can use PayPal, Shopify, or any other merchant that you like. PayPal and
Shopify are the most often used payment processors. To set up a store you will
need to install a on your Facebook page. It’s easy to do and just takes a few
minutes. Once you have set up your merchant account to accept online payments you
can get started.
List Items
List items by
uploading photos of the item to the shopping cart. Then enter a price and
shipping if you are going to ship the items. If you don’t ship them you will
need to follow up with the buyer by direct message to find out how to deliver
the item or have them pick it up. That’s all there is to it. You are not ready
to start selling. When your item sells you will get a direct message letting
you know that there is a sale. From there it’s a good idea to send a direct
message to the buyer letting them know you received their order and letting
them know when their item will be shipped. Or you can set up a time for pick up
or delivery.
