FaceBook Advances: Properly Using the MarketPlace

I prefer to market on FaceBook because it isn’t overcrowded. There are limited items within the FaceBook MarketPlace.

The best part about the marketplace is your item gets rotated on everyone’s main page once they log on to FaceBook. Near the right hand side under New Stuff it will list an item that has recently been submitted in your network!

That is important, depending what network you are in they will only show you items that were submitted within your area or network.

For example let’s say a college student want to sell his last semester book to a new student, he list it on FaceBook. Since he is part of his school name’s network only the students that log on under that specific network will see it.

Now, if you are part of a bigger network, let say a county of your state. You will see more recent listing than one who is part of a college network. Facebook was geared toward college communities only, and now they have expanded their network so everyone can join. Since we know having a big network is important, as this matters when you are trying to sell or promote a product.

I have listed several items on FaceBook when I first saw the marketplace and I right away tested it by adding 2 e-books and an affiliate link.

When you visit the marketplace they have somewhat of a scroll for newly listed items. Below is a screenshot of the mini scroll of newly listed items. You can see 2 of my popular e-Books and a ClickBank affiliate link.

The title is shown followed by a brief introduction of what you write within the description. Your description of the product is important! I tend to create a controversy when I list or sell items.

Your title should be General, what is your product or service. Make it simple you do not need to spend time on your name it’s the description that plays a roll.

The FIRST line of your description should create a controversy. As you can see from the 3 items I listed they all ask a type of question before it gets cut off (CLEP, Tactical Forum Marketing, Black Jack Hacks and Tweaks). I believe it cuts off after 50 characters, with spaces. So the main line should create or entice the reader reading your one line description. If you look at the other descriptions, it does not attract the mind. Users buy solutions to their problems!
