Before I start explaining how to make money fast using Facebook, keep in mind that it is not a get-rich-quick scheme and it is not a scam. What I am about to write is hard facts about how I make a full time living by searching Facebook and buying and selling REAL items!
One of the latest fads to appear on Facebook Pages is buy, sell, trade, and exchange sites. These are pages created by people like you and me. These pages are a bit like the Facebook version of Gumtree. Every page people create is local to them. For example, I live in the North East of England and there must be a dozen or more pages dedicated to buying and selling items within a 10 mile radius of my home. Now you may be wondering how this can turn you into quick cash. I explain how to do it below.
Get yourself on Facebook and search for some keywords, try terms like sell, swap, buy, swap, buy, sell, swap shop, etc. You should be able to get a huge list for every term you search for. What you want to do is try to find the ones that are within traveling distance of you. I say this because I wouldn’t trust anyone to send me items from across the country, so always find the local ones so you can view the items and pay in person.
Right now, the key to making money is to browse your local pages regularly, and I mean regularly, as some of these pages can be extremely popular and have items listed every few minutes. So, to get the bargain, you need to be online and place your bids quickly.
One tip when bidding, always message the person who has an item for sale if you are bidding. Do not post a reply in the thread. In this way, the seller receives the direct message from him and his offer is private to everyone else, so no one knows how much he is paying for the items. This is useful if you want to resell the items on the page with a higher margin. I would suggest using a separate facebook account if you are buying and selling on the pages so people don’t suspect you are a dealer.
Now back to the items and what to look for and how to find if you can make a profit. Example one is mobile phones. If someone has a mobile phone listed, and trust me there are plenty of them for sale on these pages at stupidly low prices, then write down the model number and go to all those mobile phone recycling websites and see which one offers you the best. best price for that. special phone. Keep in mind that these sites only require the phone, so be sure to keep the charger, remove the memory card, and keep any other accessories that came with it to sell on eBay for extra profit.
If the person you are selling, for example, a Blackberry Bold 9700 on Facebook for £120 (and yes, accept these prices as I recently bought one for £95 and £110), always make sure you offer them well below your asking price. sale. via private message. I usually send them a message asking what is the lowest price they will accept and usually make them an offer of say £10 less than what they say. Let’s say you get this phone for £100. You’ll have already done your research and realized that these mobile phone recycling sites are offering between £150 and £200 just for the phone, so you’ve already made a killing with this item. And you will earn more if you sell the accessories and memory card separately.
Keep browsing these Facebook pages for anything that catches your eye; then another selling example is eBay or Gumtree if you want to sell the items you have bought there.
A good tool for researching the going rate for an item you’ve found is eBay’s full listing tool. For example, if you see a Nintendo Wii with balance board and games for £100 on Facebook, go to eBay and search for that product, then click on full listings. This will give you an idea of the current market value and what you could resell it for. I recently bought a Wii with a board and 6 games, 1 pad and 1 nunchuck for £80. He sold it for £125 on the same day locally. So that’s just another example of what to watch out for.
Basically just browse Facebook pages, there are massive deals every hour of every day. You just need to be online and quickly get an offer to buy them. Always offer below what they are asking for even if it is already a bargain because most people seem to need quick money on the pages and let things go for dumb money hence why they listed the item on first place.
I currently buy at least half a dozen items every day with an average profit from each item between £10 and £100. And that is not a lie.
The reason this type of trading is so successful is because of the Facebook interface you get almost instant communication and 99% of the time you get the item you’re after unlike Gumtree and other free ads where you have to wait days to get it. one response or 99% of the time no response.
Try it for yourself, spend a few days just browsing and researching prices and you will see how much money can be made using my method.
Here’s an example of one of the pages I’m talking about, this one is fairly new and needs more members, but it’s just an example of what to look for. The big ones have thousands of members with many items listed every hour, so there are plenty of bargains and lots of money to be made!

The above is just a rough guide, but it gives you a basic idea of how to turn your £100 or whatever you start with into thousands in just a few months.
