facebook marketplace

Start with Facebook for volume and fast first sales. Add Instagram for brand-building or Carousell for search-driven items once your Facebook sales are consistent.

Use keyword-rich titles (Brand + Item Type + Size + Color), put all details in the text fields instead of on photos, always state a price, and repost unsold listings weekly with improved titles.

Price 10-15% below market to build your first reviews, post 3-5 items every evening at 7-10 PM, and reply to every message within 15 minutes.

Put the brand, item type, size, and color in your title — not just your photos. Renew listings every 3-5 days, use correct categories, and set a real price.

Always write titles in English (Brand + Item Type + Size + Color). Use Taglish in descriptions on Facebook Marketplace for warmth, English-first on Shopee and Carousell for search.

Renew listings every 7 days, reply to every message within 1 hour, write titles with exact buyer search terms, and clean up sold items weekly.

Use both platforms strategically: higher-margin items on Shopee for volume, low-value and one-of-a-kind items on Facebook to preserve margins. Cross-post everything and sell to whoever bites first.

Run through the diagnosis checklist: check price vs. competitors, retake photos in natural light, add size/condition/shipping info, and renew stale listings every 7 days.

Keep brand names out of titles, avoid words like 'authentic' and 'original,' use your own photos, post gradually, and diversify to other platforms so one restriction does not shut down your business.

Write one master description with all details, then trim or expand per platform. The whole process takes 10-15 minutes per item once you have the system down.
