Yes, you heard that correctly, people are making thousands of dollars per month Drop shipping products on their Facebook Marketplace account, and you can do that too..
What is Drop shipping and how can you use your Facebook account to do it?
Drop shipping is an order fulfillment method that does not require a business to keep products in stock. Instead, the store sells the product and passes on the sales order to a third-party supplier, who then ships the order to the customer.
Now that we understand how Drop shipping in general works, let's look into how people are using their Facebook accounts to drop ship and make thousands of dollars per month, in reality it's very simple...
Every Facebook account has a section called Marketplace, where people usually buy and sell products from their locals, but due to the pandemic, Facebook has added a feature allowing users to ship orders across the country, empowering users to sell to everybody using Facebook in the country, and some users got smart and started listing products they didn't even own and that's when Facebook Drop shipping was born.
Facebook Drop shipping is the practise of taking products from suppliers like Amazon and eBay and listing them on your Facebook Marketplace account, once you get an order, you can then copy the customer details into Amazon for example, and send the order to them.
But first you need to start listing products on your account..what kind of products? I personally am drop shipping on Facebook Marketplace and I can tell you that the following niches bring in the most sales: Pet supplies, home improvement, kitchen supplies and tools.
Once you select a bunch of products you can then start listing them on your account, doing it manually requires too much time, that's why tools like marketplaceflow.io exist, to help you copy and paste products from Amazon, eBay and Walmart and other suppliers, directly into your account.
Once those products posted on your account you will start seeing some traffic on your listings, one advice I always give to people starting with Facebook Marketplace Drop shipping, is to stay consistent with your listings, list products daily and you will start seeing results, and once those orders come in, you need to fulfil them quickly in order to show Facebook that you are a professional seller.
