How to drop ship on Facebook Marketplace
0:03
Hey guys, welcome back to the YouTube channel. Today, we'll be taking a quick look at how you can get started with your drop shipping business on Facebook Marketplace
0:15
So let's get into it. Now, a lot of you might wonder, hey, can we even do drop shipping on Facebook Marketplace
0:23
Well, Facebook is now updated to more of a storefront. So you can basically sell any kind of product, even though
0:29
if you are looking to sell a old item or if you want to stock up items and use it as your main
0:35
place or main place for checkout, you can use it. And the best part about this is that now you can
0:41
start drop shipping. So before Facebook was like eBay or people would just sell off their old stuff
0:46
and now it's more like an Amazon and a Walmart where people can, you know, stock items and
0:53
sell them as they would on a normal e-commerce store. Now there are quite a few different benefits to
0:59
selling on Facebook because when you are selling on Facebook or your drop shipping on Facebook
1:04
you don't have to set up your own website. You don't have to create a Shopify store, have to pay
1:10
for Shopify, have to pay for hosting, domain names. All of that complicated stuff can get simplified
1:17
when you are using Facebook. So you guys can see I have already created one listing and this is from
1:24
a item I found on Walmart. So with Facebook drop shipping, one thing I recommend
1:29
to everyone is not to go for sellers or not to go for your supplier where they have a super large
1:36
delivery time so if i go with walmart Walmart Walmart is obviously going to deliver right away
1:40
and i can send it to my customer but if you are selling the product uh from if you're getting
1:47
you know your supplies from overseas like china you're going to get a lower price but the delivery time
1:53
is going to be astronomically high and with facebook marketplace you want to make sure your delivery times
1:59
are super reasonable. So for that, I recommend you source your products from a discount store
2:05
a local discount store, or if you do want to source from China, make sure your supplier is
2:09
someone you have a direct contact with. Don't just source it off of AliExpress and expect
2:15
there to be a super fast delivery time. You want to make sure it's a supplier that you have to contact
2:21
it and you can set up your supplying terms and conditions and you know the time that they going to give you for supplying Now with this you also can drop ship digital product
2:33
So you have things like e-books, you have things like templates, journals, that you can also drop ship on Facebook
2:40
So you can go on to this platform called plr.me, and you can go on ahead and take a look at the e-books
2:47
So you can open those up and you can just take any e-book and start to
2:52
selling that. That is another way that you can do drop shipping on Facebook marketplace
2:56
but it can be a little more difficult to get started with those because with digital products
3:02
the profit margins are super low. You only are going to be making around $2 to $5, like that's top
3:08
So with digital products, the thing is that you're going to have a very, very low profit margin
3:15
So you're going to be making around barely a dollar for each sale or maybe even less
3:20
obviously you can you know overcharge more you can put up the price hike up the price but if you do
3:26
hike up the price of these basic items then people are not going to be very likely to purchase it so
3:31
to be able to get sales i do recommend going with a physical product on facebook and facebook does not have
3:37
a direct place for selling digital products you would have to enter it in your description that
3:42
this is a digital product and then you would have to provide the links to the access to the product
3:46
to the customer individually. So I would say go for Walmart or any other Costco, go to Costco and source your products from there
3:55
So you can go into these and furniture type items, things like stools, chairs, storage items, containers
4:04
things like those sell pretty well on Facebook marketplace. So what we're going to do is go on to Walmart and we can go into home and furniture
4:13
and we can go into furniture and we have a bunch of different furniture items so let's see i want to go
4:19
with wall decor and i have a bunch of different items so let's say we have metal wall art and you guys
4:27
can see there are you know a bunch of different products so you can choose to manually add each product but
4:34
that can be a little difficult for some people i have added this product manually that i'm selling
4:39
so this one i added manually and if you want you can
4:43
do it manually but if you want to automate it which is going to obviously cost you some money but we have this platform called Auto DS So what Auto DS does is that it allows you to sell on any marketplace and directly imports your product from amazon or walmart or any other platform onto facebook so we can just click on start for now
5:04
you can just click on your 14 day trial and you will get a trial you're going to select facebook from here
5:10
click on continue and you have multiple different options so you can try it now for one dollars for 14 days
5:17
you can click on this and you can choose whichever platform you want you can enter your information
5:22
and then you will start importing products you just have to click import from there and it imports
5:28
the product as it is listed on Walmart or on your supplier store directly onto your facebook listing
5:36
so that can be a one-click item but if you don't want to pay money because it is kind of expensive
5:42
disturbed after the 14 day free trial it can run a little expensive so what you can do is you can just select
5:49
the item that you want to sell so let's say we have this like so and what you can do is you're just
5:55
going to open up facebook go into your selling section click on create new listing click on item for sale
6:02
and then what you're going to do is you're going to go into walmart and one thing i recommend is not
6:06
you know you can do a right click click on save image as from any website and you can save this
6:12
images now although i've just done it i don't recommend you guys do it you guys should take a
6:16
screenshot of the image and then uh upload it on to facebook the reason for that is if you do a direct
6:23
download like this it takes all of the metadata with it so uh that can make it very obvious that you're
6:30
selling this product off of walmart or amazon and it can uh lead people back to purchasing
6:35
from this instead of purchasing from your listing so that is why i recommend you do that instead of uh
6:42
just downloading the image but for ease i'm just uploading the image as it is now after that you have
6:48
your title price now the title what you want to do is you want to remove the brand name in walmart
6:54
or if it doesn't have a brand name just copy the rest of the listing as it is like so so copy the rest
7:01
and just add it into our title then you want to enter the price this is selling for almost 13
7:07
I'm going to sell it for a 20 and then you have your category so we're going to add furniture or household
7:13
you have a bunch of different items so we going to go with household and then you have the condition which you going to add as new then you have your description and color so the color is going to be see green and then in your description you
7:26
going to just copy it off of a walmart or your supplier store so if i scroll down i can see the
7:33
description so i'm going to skip uh some of the lines later on i'm going to include these point by point
7:41
lines and i'm going to just paste the entire thing then i'm just going to shorten the description
7:46
part so I'm just going to add this like so I've added the description over here we have a
7:54
point by point as well it's pretty descriptive the more detailed it is the better because
7:58
people get a better idea of what kind of product that they are getting now once you
8:03
enter that you have your availability you want to select this and list it as stock so
8:08
because we are not just selling one item we are selling a we're basically starting
8:13
a e-commerce store so we're stocking up the item which means we're going to list it as stock, we're going to add product tags like home decor
8:20
decor, things like that, you're going to add as tags, and then you can add your SKUs
8:25
So if you're uncertain that this item is going to stay long on your supplier store
8:30
you can list it as 10 SKUs, so I would usually add it as 15 SKUs
8:37
That's like the average amount I like to add. And then you can choose to hide it from friends if you're using a personal account to create this listing
8:44
and now you're just going to click on publish and your listing will be created so that is how easy it is to
8:50
start drop shipping on facebook marketplace now what do you do once you get an order so uh you guys can see
8:57
you have your your listing section and you can click on your seller dashboard to see your orders
9:02
and if you have any orders if you have anything that is coming in any messages regarding it so uh if you do
9:09
get any orders for a item, you are just going to ask for the address and then you're going to
9:15
order it off of Walmart or Amazon and enter the address of your customer and you're just going
9:20
to prepay for it, obviously because the customer has paid for it. So that is how simple and
9:25
easy it is to drop ship with Facebook Marketplace. It's a lucrative market and if you're targeting
9:31
a good segment, so if you're targeting a niche segment with niche type of items, you can really
9:37
make a lot of profit with this kind of drop shipping technique. I hope you guys found this video
