How To Use Facebook Marketplace As SIDE HUSTLE In 2024! (WITH RESULTS)

be sure to watch till the end of this video and I'll show you all the money I make in a two to three week period putting into action what I believe is the most overlooked side hustle of the 2020s let's get this thing started and I'll show you guys how to make some extra pocket money every single week you ready let's do it [Applause] good morning everybody welcome back to another video check this out truly another beautiful day in paradise [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so over the past almost 10 years I figured out how to make a living for myself and together with my wife Samy J we have done all these different things in an effort to make money and most of what we've done has been considered side hustles so today I want to share with everybody what I think is the easiest and most effective side hustle today that's being completely overlooked by almost everyone so in this video I'm going to go over all the steps it takes to actually put this side hustle into effect and to make legitimate cash in hand $100 meet up at the local Dairy Queen every single week if you're willing to do the work this works so first unofficial step before we start is coffee before claims as you guys already know without going any further the side hustle is Facebook [Music] Marketplace all right welcome to the video so if this is your first time here and somehow this video got recommended to you I would really appreciate if you subscribe to the channel lots of other videos similar to this and I think that you possibly could take a lot from the channel you could learn a lot and also just watch entertaining videos so this is going to be more of a informative video instead of a normal video like a vlog that I would make and my whole plan in producing this video is to answer some questions I've been getting over the years on YouTube mainly but also other places and show you guys the ins and and outs of actually getting items posting items selling items making money and enjoying life at the same time so this video is going to be broken down into five steps and I'll go through each one as thoroughly as I can without being completely boring first question and the first thing that you have to do before you begin this process is how do you acquire the items to sell and so this video is all about selling on Facebook Marketplace um I think almost anybody who has access to a computer or a smartphone is able to create a Facebook account and start doing exactly what I'm doing in this video so this is accessible to almost anyone literally anyone so where do you get the items step one so the three main places I should say four main places that I've acquired items in the last couple years have been roadside trash I do a ton of trash picking I was out earlier this morning filming a different video found a bunch of good stuff a couple safes a nice like Corner dining chair I might take this and just a whole bunch of other stuff um but the second place you can actually get like a ton of items at once is house cleanouts um there's always people moving there's always people getting rid of items Selling Houses Realtors who need to clear out houses so I went to a house clean out um to this lady I know in Brigantine which is like 25 minutes away from here and I was able to get all of the items that you see right here so I just did a little like meeting with the lady and very sentimental about the situation because this was her mom's house she lived here since the 1930s I want to say is that even possible I don't know for for 60 70 years at least and her son's here so we're actually going to be able to at least get some of the furniture bring it out and then I'm going to show you guys what it is and hopefully I'll be able to sell it so I'm basically not charging her anything and we're going to just attempt to remove items that I believe I can sell go from there this is about to get crazy look at this this is actually really a hand painted piece little beach scene and then I got so far loaded up what is it a love seat couch and a chair that match and another kind of like rocking chair spinner swivel guy and this table is really cool they're all bamboo so this a whole matching set I should be able to sell that I don't want anything to happen to this painting so I'm pretty sure that'll be fine yep coming along getting a good load already here so far this is what I got it's a slow process so she just wants to slowly get rid of the stuff so basically what I'm going to take today is this load and then we might put a couple extra things on the ports I might come back later to get but so far looking good all the items I'm taking I think are sellable whole set of wicker furniture a whole set of bamboo furniture some paintings hand painted paintings I got the ow the ow piece so we're off he's riding shotgun [Music] rarely do I skate anymore but I keep my thing on me let's see the brigan te Bowl wow too classic to even be [Music] real all right so we actually got a really crazy set set a wicker from that house this mirror the little laundry hamper a little dresser newspaper magazine holder a small chair a big chair and a side table all wicker life Wicky Wick wicker that's all legit wicker too it's not the plastic kind so that's a pretty solid collection right there and then we have the collection of bamboo Sammy J and little bean bean have claimed the Wicker collection are you cleaning these off I'm going to attempt to the cigarette smell is really really strong I'm not going to lie um so if I can't get that out I don't really I mean and there's not mold that can like see I did uh look up how to prop really clean Wicker when I got the Wicker back to the house my wife actually decided that she might want to keep the mini dresser and she tried very hard to clean it off and it just the smell would not come out so we decided to sell this set for cheaper than I originally thought because it smelled like smoke the couch the chair that chair this light this light this light and all of the Wicker that I'm about to post right right now all came from the house it was her mom's house and they're going to sell the house after the summer so they want to get as much stuff out of it now as they can so the one big downfall of this specific collection of items is the house it came from a smoking environment what I'm going to do with all these items is try to push them out as cheaply and quickly as possible because everything smells like cigarettes and I will post that in the description but you just can't get that smell out easily so what I've done is I've posted this couch for 50 bucks which is a complete steal I'm going to post all those other items for cheap as well this would be a lot easier to clean the smell out of because it doesn't have cushions or any fabric it's actually really collectible this bamboo stuff what do they call this thing slip in my mind I'll come back to it so I'm going to post all of these items so it's entire set of seven items right 2 4 six seven wicker items for 125 bucks so if somebody likes wicker this is the steel of the century just the a loan is worth a few hundred but again coming back to it I'm trying to flip this stuff quick I got it for free so let's do it I'm going to take some pictures right now okay so step two would be to make the listing so first you have to have a Facebook account so if you don't have a Facebook account you got to make one otherwise you're not going to be able to do anything on here normally I would list 100% of what I post from my phone it's just easier you can take the pictures with your pH phone post to the app on your phone uh but for today the sake of the video I'm going to be posting from the computer because I'm able to screen record the computer a lot easier show you guys what I'm doing the whole time okay so I have Facebook open over to the left side it'll show my name friends professional dashboard yada y yada yours might be a little bit different but just hit the marketplace one then from there create new listing then from there items to sell my computer's a little bit slow but basically I'm going to add a video cuz I said that before I took a video of the chairs and I'm also going to add nine photos with it just to show in detail everything I'm selling so the video is uploading right now so I'm also going to add one let me see one two 3 four five 6 seven eight nine nine photos so as those are uploading I'm going to go down here and make a title wicker set seven pieces all natural price $125 it's a steel I think the best would be under like antique and collectible Furniture but I don't see that Nursery F no living room furniture sets I'm just going to put it under that condition is I'm going to put Fair even though it's good came from a smoking environment selling all seven pieces for 125 pick up in summers point and it's pretty much that simple um next local pickup next this is the main thing that you want to really look for add it to all the yard sale sites that you're a part of I'm adding it to antique and collectibles and not that one South Jersey buy sell trade so join as many local yard sale selling groups as you can on Facebook so that when you make your listing you're able to post to those groups as well as Marketplace so honestly you might before you make your first listing you might want to just browse Facebook just so you can add yourself to all these groups so when you're ready to make your first post you're good to go so I think this will sell even from the Smoky environment seven piece wicker set is about to post right in the next like 20 minutes not it's just posted now so I'll update you guys and let's see where we can go from here on to the next step all right step three this is the big one making the sale so I have this wicker furniture set that I've posted all the pieces for $125 what a freaking steal this guy wants to buy these and he offered me a hundred bucks and I said yep I'll take it so you have to learn to drop your pride on pricing when you're selling on Facebook Marketplace if you get the item for free just sell it so let's make the sale let's see if this guy is actually going to bite you'd never find this price for this many of these items ever again be the guy that has the unbeatable prices that people cannot walk away from let's just see how this goes though he's going to try to fit all this in the Nissan we'll see how this goes most likely that's not going to happen I'm good this dude is real first you know some crazy people on Facebook what's the craziest experience you had on Facebook not in person but just people blocking you in or asking you to send the money up front or you know I don't send money a FR no one would no that's not a good idea yeah no I I deal with a lot of people on there but usually I can smell out the scamers oh that's the part that's what I mean you never know this is pretty yeah this is nice it's not bad yeah she's a big girl well cuz she pregnant so yeah so it'll be the whole set so seven pieces for 100 bucks I mean you can't beat that no I don't think you can either I have to agre I don't think you'd ever find that again anywhere ever no I got to agree with you boss yeah let's let's try and fit it in right yeah just a [Music] chair sometimes I post stuff that I would never think would sell and it sells real quick so people like they do but I'll keep in touch thank you guys have a good day man nice to meet you nice to meet you all right here's the deal so you do what you got to do to make that sale so he was about to pull out he said his sister doesn't isn't able to fit the rest of this stuff she only wants the chair and I was like take the chair for 50 the chair is the nicest piece in the whole set great deal so he did he loaded it up he gave me 50 bucks and that's how you make this s so this leads us into step four which is actually the repost so I'm going to repost the rest of these items and a new set without the chair and try to get 75 bucks for them let's see how it goes this is going to be the new post right here so this is wicker set and I'm going to post this for 75 and try to get back to that 125 mark that I started at when I first posted the whole set together my might actually bring these over here and post them and then actually just leave them on the front porch over here in hopes that they uh sell soon so that I can just leave them out here and then somebody can just come pick them up all right here we go we're about to make a sale so this is going to be for $100 piece from that same lot of items that I picked up in Brigantine with the Wicker so this is a Marie charot charlott Marie charlot original painting original artwork so this artist and this size of painting can actually go up to 1,500 bucks maybe even $2,000 there these are do have value I mean this came from a house with smoke happening in it uh I'm not personally doubting the authenticity of this but I only have one message on the post so obviously people aren't rushing to buy this artwork either because I've only posted it for $100 so if you get stuff for free don't be afraid to Let It Go just Let It Go cuz personally I think at the top top top this could be worth like three 3 to 500 I don't know I don't really know who buys this kind of stuff so for me $100 cash in hand it's fine I just keep flipping the items I really can't be concerned with individual items unless they're worth like a ton of money which I don't really think it is hey how are you oh it looks really nice uh yes something lady was just like uh cleaning out her house yeah and gave me a whole bunch of stuff seriously so uh that's where I got it no it's and the frame is so unusual it's a big piece I mean I saw some online that seemed like they had decent value so no it looks no it looks great I'll take it okay do you want to just me to bring it over there yeah that'd be awesome thank you sir $100 $100 meet up at the local Dairy Queen not a bad way to start the day off in the middle of setting up my auction and doing everything else I got going on so that side hustle really does pay some of the bills I shouldn't say it pays the bills but can't beat an extra 100 okay so those are the four main steps that you need to utilize my personal formula of how to sell on Facebook Marketplace they work for me and I feel like they can work for other people I know they can work for other people so let me know in the comments for sure if you guys try this out um but what what I wanted to show now is a bunch of other sales that I had within the two weeks period that I filmed this video and the largest of those sales was a pool slide that we that I sold for $250 I do want to say real quick before this clip starts that there's absolutely nothing funny about what happened uh it was actually super dangerous I did have the slide strapped down before I started and yeah the pool slide fell out of the back of the truck and I actually had two slides so I was able to still sell one to the people but yeah this this isn't funny at all so I just want to show that life's not all about success it's also a lot more about failures than anything take it however you want um I just want to show the real life scenarios of what can happen while you're out there grinding luckily my neighbor was behind me on the road and he actually messaged me later that day so shout out to the boy for dodging the slide and slowing down the rest of the traffic behind him all right if you get the right angle it's actually not that heavy uh considering it's just fiberglass but it is a little awkward [Music] all right I've had it loaded up and it looks pretty good all I did was just put a strap on it should be solid only going one town over should be solid only going one town over and the reason they call it a side hustle is because it's an actual hustle you're working you're not just sitting around collecting money so don't get into this thinking it's going to be a just super easy like physically cuz definitely going to have to do some work [Music] [Music] okay we're going to try this again so earlier this morning I brought a pool slide to sell it it fell out of the back of the truck so part two or stage two of using Facebook Marketplace is making the actual sale so I'm about to deliver this pull slide to the next town over and they're paying $250 for it pound in the trash so I got it for free it's worth more than 250 but sometimes you have to take less than what something is worth to make a deal so let's do it we're going to sell the slide so I'm personally not a big fan of delivering items I always put pickup pickup only basically but if it's an item I would say a sale of at least $200 or more I do think delivering an item within like a 10mi radius of your house can be beneficial just due to the fact that most people don't have trucks I shouldn't say most people but a lot of people don't have trucks and for them to get a truck it might be the deal breaker on even buying a certain item because if they can't pick it up they might just not buy it at all or they might find it somewhere else where the person will deliver it deliver when necessary you know what it is boys what does that look like guys a a slide but what what type of [Music] slide like the one you had had one before no uh just what we were traveling we just got back from Gua and they had one down there oh that's cool yeah that's pretty light but me and you together can easily get this bring it back there what's that who dude a cur that's kind of the joy of of the Facebook Marketplace sale right there she had two young kids two boys she was filming them the reaction that they had just literally getting the slide they were so happy the dad was super cool and they're definitely going to make it work they have a massive yard well big for where I live a big yard awesome pool really nice house and they were just all around stoked and I got 250 Cent to my Beno I like cash deals but they said they'd rather do venmo so that's what we did so 250 uh first sale of the video so I just really wanted to show the process it's not simple simple like you know I said it's an easy way to make money it's not what you think it's not just like you post an item and it Cs and that's it you really have to like M be like a professional masseuse with your emotions cuz like it's easy to get pissed off on selling stuff on Facebook Marketplace and you kind of have to just like sit back take a breath and be like all right this is going to work out we got to just do it but uh heading back to the house and so I actually am going to make a sale on the plant holders I posted them this morning the lady messaged me she said I'll be done work at 600 I'm going to come get them and she just messaged me I'm 40 minutes away in 40 minutes she's coming not 40 minutes away so what I'm going to do here is I'm going to post these two lounger chairs so this is what I was talking about knowing your demograph knowing what sells this is the kind of stuff that sells pretty well around here I picked these out of the trash like a week ago just straight from the bulk pickup it's pretty easy to find stuff like this in the trash so here's what I'm going to do I'm going to take some pictures of them I got the nice blue Facebook background backdrop and it does actually make the chairs and everything on it look pretty good I'm not going to lie two loungers no cushions I think I could do these for 50 bucks for both all right patience is a virtue so I thought this person was going to be here like an hour ago and they just showed up so Facebook Marketplace is like something that you have to just continuously bring yourself back down because it gets so stressful waiting and [Music] that's okay thank you yeah no worries you got all right thank you have a good night all right successful deal I guess she said she works in Atlant City got off at 600 and it she had to go get cash to come another sale made and you just got to be patient with this thing it's not going to just happen right away but if you are patient and you just continue to do it you will make sales and you'll make a lot of them just stay on it cuz I got two other messages about those same items while I was waiting for that lady so they would have soell even if if she didn't buy them they still would have sold but I'm I'm just done for today okay so the average American has like 300,000 items at their house already so I'm about to sell this Craftsman toolbox hey are you here for this I thought it was I thought it 100 oh it was 109 yeah so I saw on there your friends with Mark Harry slack you know Mark Harry slack I don't think so oh okay like HS oh HS yeah yeah withs yeah he actually he not that long ago he was living at my dad's property in Florida oh okay when he moves like I I don't need so many yeah and it rolls I mean I just need something Bas so that's all okay good it's not going to go far I don't do work like that I just need something to store everything and this opens and closes it does a little difficult it will but it will so down there you with the drills and stuff right yeah or the bigger Stu yeah that's good 68 there you go 100 all right cool thank you can you help me oh good yes it H's from Avalon so yeah all right so what I was getting at is the average person has massive amounts of stuff in their house or around their house at their house that they just don't use me included I have tons of stuff so I didn't just get that toolbox I've had it for a while but that doesn't make it any less sellable I got it for free a originally some guy I know was cleaning out his shop he gave it to me cuz I was helping him but 100 bucks I think that was a good deal for a Craftsman toolbox that rolls but if I tried to charge a lot more than that I wouldn't have sold it I don't think just cuz you need to price your stuff pretty cheap on Facebook to make the sale and that's another other thing is when she showed up she mentioned somebody that was a mutual friend of both of ours and I do know who she's talking about the guy's name is hags he was actually like a friend of my dad those connections on Facebook definitely make it safer and just less stressful like you know if you know somebody that knows somebody it's just better that way and be able to like see the person and see what they're all about before you sell an item but yeah so we're stacking it up now we're actually getting into a decent amount of money for this video so let's keep it rolling okay step four is the repost maybe your item didn't get seen maybe you posted it for too much money maybe you just messed up and your pictures were horrible nobody wanted the item so reposting the item with different photos maybe a different video um a slightly different combination of items or if you sell part of what you posted repost what you have left for a cheaper price there's many reasons why you would do a repost but number one reason to give yourself another shot at selling the items so this is a perfect example I found 11 chairs in the trash let's see this is like an 80 set 80P set I don't know this might be the come up of the day right here let's see I actually had six swivel chairs and five regular chairs all outdoor furniture they literally sell for like $500 a pop brand new but I posted the original set for 150 and then a second the second set for I think I believe 100 so I ended up selling six of the chairs for $100 but it was like a combination of both sets so I actually reposted what was left which is five chairs for 75 bucks so with the 100 that I already made and the 75 that I'm hoping to make it's close to my original $200 price that I wanted to get for all the chairs it's not exactly there but you know found them in the trash so I have the five chairs sitting over on the side of the house this guy's supposed to be here at 2:30 or between 2:30 and 3:00 it's 2:25 right now let's see what happens make them sales [Music] okay I think oh sh [Music] so the repost works okay so I did start off this video with an intro that was kind of like uh scripted I guess you would say stuff that I thought of saying before I say it when I normally just start filming and vlogging but I wanted it the point of this to get through to people that might not know about my YouTube channel or to get through to people that might not take Facebook Marketplace seriously I've talked to a lot of people over the last couple years and Bob moley was here uh the other day and he was saying yeah I sell stuff on Facebook all the time and I just watch what you were doing in the videos and I started doing the same thing and then all of a sudden I started making money every week so stuff on Facebook so this does work is what I'm saying so this video was filmed over about 2 weeks it's filmed over about 3 weeks but the sales all happened in about a twoe period And I will say there was a few sales that I made that are outside of this video so the money that I accumulated which I got to figure out how much that actually is and then I'll I'll tell at the very end of the video how much was made throughout this video on Facebook Marketplace so I think the easiest way to get the ball rolling on this is to look around your house and see some items that you might not personally use or want anymore post those items first see how you like it see how it works and then go from there other places to find stuff to sell in the trash my number one favorite place from other people who are moving or getting rid of stuff there's always somebody in your life that you know that's getting rid of something and if you're there to take it it helps them out and it helps you out and you can sell you could also hit flea markets yard sales storage units there's a lot of places to get stuff for free or for cheap that can then be flipped on Facebook for a profit that is a guarantee I've been doing it my entire life I know it works I I will say it's the number one easiest side hustle that you don't need to set up an elaborate account you just go on your Facebook create a Facebook or go on the Facebook that you already have log in go to the marketplace and just start posting items and locally you're going to have buyers in your area that are looking for certain things so no shipping involved if you don't want to and it's it's pretty easy the only thing I would say is just be careful and look at the people's profiles and just make sure that you're doing this in a safe manner that doesn't put yourself or anyone in your family you know your wife or your husband In Harm's Way because there is some freaks in the world we all know that so just be careful be be vigilant about it but also you know you can meet in a public place you don't have to meet at your house and that's Sometimes the best way to do it yeah get on it now's the best time to start if you want to try this out and make it work don't give up easily don't give up off the first item don't give off if up if something doesn't sell even if you post 10 items and nothing sells don't give up because you if you stay on it and you stay consistent you will start making sales and you will start making money I can guarantee it um then the other thing I wanted to say is anybody who's used this technique um from previous videos I've posted or from today's video please let me know in the comments below if it's worked for you or if you've made money or if you've sold items I'd love to hear success stories uh that would be cool so other than that uh please just hit that Thumbs Up Button if you're new to the channel like I said in the beginning please subscribe to the channel and leave leave those comments let me know what you guys sold and just keep pushing stay on it but also just stay tuned and I'll give you guys the full Mount here after I finish the whole video and add everything up so I'm literally going to go inside and edit right [Applause] now all right so in total the sum total of all the sales that were made during the filming of this video was $750 so chair 50 bucks painting 100 bucks the first original six chairs was 100 bucks the repost of the chairs was 75 bucks the pool slide was 250 the tool boox was $100 the garden decor was $30 and then we ended up selling the mini dresser and mirror wicker set together for 20 bucks and I think I'm actually going to make the sale of the four other items later today I have a lady who really wants some hopefully the rest of that sells and then we can just move on to better stuff but $750 cash in [Music] hand just from selling off Facebook Marketplace so that is like over $350 a week on a side hustle no fees no shipping no BS this is real this can be done I hardly I'm not saying I hardly but I do a lot of other things at the same time as this so this is only one portion of what I do every day if you were grinding grinding grinding on Facebook I think if you have a truck and you're willing to work and you're willing to get your name out there you can make triple quadruple more even more than I made in this video each week yeah this is real deal this is legit so peace out everyone I hope you like the video and please subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and let me know in the comments if you want to see more how-to videos like this or a part two or what else you want to see on the channel and hopefully I can make it happen peace out everyone see you in the next video [Applause] [Music] n [Music] [Applause]
