@B Goulet Wow, I just started on my first piece, and I found a desk on FB for free, I just finished painting it, spent 3 days, let's just say lots of things didn't go the way I wanted it to, I'm posting it on FB marketplace and Kijiji, I really don't know if It'll sell or not, any tips? How did you sell your first piece?
You go girl! I’m proud of you for being proactive to get your loans paid of and start saving on retirement next! I’m working hard in “retirement” making up for lost time. Thank you for being a teacher to little kids! You are so appreciated!
One thing I’ve noticed about your photos that I think is very effective is that you lower your camera so the piece is straight-on. It captures the size/scale of the item well, and doesn’t distort the shape of the piece.
Thank you soooo much for taking your time and walking through the steps. Im ready to start now. Trying to sell my way to an emergency fund in the bank before i buy a house. Thanks again.
I busted up when you showed the chair in front of the garbage can... looked like it was getting ready to go out with the big trash day pick up...LOL I have a clothing rack on wheels that comes in handy with company.... when I'm placing items on Market place I remove the hangers and throw a white sheet over it...... I go as far as steaming the wrinkles out of the sheet to make a nice back drop. Just like you said with a neutral back ground the true color of the item comes thru. And when I'm needing more light I get my Halogen work light :)
Hello, Lauren! I just started flipping furniture this fall and recently posted my first four pieces on Facebook marketplace. Thank you, thank you for this video! I did it all wrong. I had no tags and I only listed on one site. No wonder no one‘s responding! I will fix all that according to your advice. Thank you so much!
Amazing tutorial Lauren amazing. ....Not only are we on Your journey of paying off your student loans ...We ALSo Got a GREAT Example Of Your Teaching Skills and YOU KNOCKED This One OUT of the PARK kiddo! 🤩.....I Honestly do NOT believe that There Is NOT One Tutorial Of This Well Explained AND how You Showed Us at Same time Out there Anywhere......Wow...thanks so much
Goodness! I don't really have social media and am very new to furniture flipping. My daughters and I follow you religiously and love all of your beautiful peices and how you talk to us about the steps you take and the whys. We were so EXCITED FOR YOU when you did your video about your student debt. Where you started and where you currently are!🤗❣ So.... we just got a fb market place acct and not really sure how to use it because we've never sold anything there. THANK YOU for doing a step by step visual of it and the amazing helpful 💜ideas!
Thanks so much, Lauren! Incredibly helpful information. I’m only selling on Craigslist but finally gave in and joined FB. Ready for new selling adventures!
LOVED this! I always get caught up in what or how to write the ad and what to include in the write up...thanks for spelling it out for me! You should be a teacher, you're really good at it...LOL!! Lame joke? But seriously, no question you are in the right profession and that you should also be on YT. I've learned so much from you and you are building my confidence one video at a time! ❤
Thank you Lauren for a very informative video. I've only heard the word Facebook Marketplace but I didn't know exactly what it was. I may look into that
I regularly sell on FB marketplace (through the website on my phone, I don't have the app). I had no idea how many features I was missing out on by not using the app! Really appreciate the video, will be sure to use the app moving forward as I'm sure it'll boost my sales.
Perfect breakdown and step by step clear instructions! ... you listed as pet free and smoke free though and technically you just got them so you honestly don't know the history. I'm also a reseller and have been for almost 15 years. I let people know that the items didn't originally come from my home but that my home is smoke free and pet friendly. You never know what could come from a situation... just speaking from experience with situations because of this exact reason.
Thank you so much sweetie....This is totally informative and Wow this Totally Helps me.....do you think you could possibly do a quick video of how to edit photos on phone please ....that's the only thing I'm missing as you Covered Everything else and I totally appreciate how much you help!🤗👍❣️
My husband freaks out when I have people over to pick up items...do you load your items in your truck and meet people away from your home? I love watching you and good luck on your goal.
That was exactly what I needed to know. I'm so excited to start. I've been very hesitant. Thank you, thank you!!! Best wishes on your journey. My son is also trying to get through his college dept, it should be free to learn!
This was an excellent video I did not know how to post anything in the marketplace on Facebook and you have been very helpful I pray that you make your money pay your bill from school thank you for sharing God bless I will definitely be keeping this one
In my district it also pays for me to tag the name of the room e.g. bedroom, if I'm selling a clothes drawer, or vanity dresser, because that's how peeps in our area tend to search. Maybe it's a New Zealand 🇳🇿thing. Hay thanks so much for sharing your insights you've put a lot of work in to producing this video. Much appreciated 🙏☺
Awesome video!! Thank you so much for the information. I have am retired and just got interested in furniture flipping. I have very little social media experience so your information was a wonderful help. Love your work with the furniture and YT help. Thanks again,
I post all my parents pieces on marketplace and probably sell about 95% on there and the rest on offer up/their booth. Like you mention in a comment , many scammers on offer up so I’m always skeptical when they send a message. Great tips!
very helpful! What do you do with pieces that are finished but haven't sold. Do you have a separate location that you store items or you don't do anymore if you don't have the space and wait for items to sell?
Great tips and information, thanks so much. I’m getting ready to advertise my first piece on Facebook marketplace and wasn’t sure how to do it so perfect timing. Thanks again.
We just listed our first piece on my husband's FB account. We're wondering about boosting it but can't get the option to come up as it keeps saying you have to have an item available or in stock. It shows there is 1 in stock. Very confused! What are your thoughts on boosting items and do you know what we're doing wrong with the inability to get past the error? Thank you for your teaching videos! I've been watching for a few months and I greatly appreciate your expertise. God bless you.
First this was great, you and Christina Muscari are the only seller who took the time to do this. Thank you. Question you have people come to your home to pick items up, so do you put that address in?
I do have them come to my house. I DO NOT put the address on the post. I only give the address when I have set a time and date for the person to come. Even then I generally wait until a couple hours before so I can make sure I’m home and everything is ready.
Hello, I really enjoyed your video! As I was watching, I was also listing an item, but it took me so long ( editing and changing) that the tag section was not there (how can I find it?) What is and what do you think about Boost your listing? Thank you
Nice one! Very informative video. Even though I'm thousands miles away the information is relevant... one thing I have never heard anyone mention in videos that I watch are the tax implications when selling on furniture .. maybe you might comment, although I'm sure it probably varies from state to state... thanks again for a great video..
I don’t talk about any information like this due to the fact that I don’t want it to fall back on me giving out false info. I would recommend talking to a tax professional in your area! Thanks for watching!
WOW! THAT WAS AWESOME! Thank you so much! I am a FURNITURE FLIPPING YAYA!! hahaha "Ya-Ya" is Israeli for grandma. I am raising money to take my grandkids to ARK ENCOUNTER in Kentucky! I live in Florida! I've been "flipping furniture" since BEFORE it became a hashtag! hahaha
I love your videos and your work. Just a little suggestion: Don't use crosses to stage your furniture! It would deter me from buying a piece of furniture. It's offensive to some...
Such a great job! Thank you so much! Can you expand a little on the payment process? For example, do you get a deposit first or require full price. I notice you have folks come to your home...what about safety?
How do you go about payment from someone buying your product. I have Pay Pal but need to know from beginning how to process their payment. Thank you so much. Loved your video. HELP🤔
Just a little too for you. For Your tags you don't want to tag side tables just gold, or black, because that's the terms that will come up. You'll get jewelery and paint and all sorts of things with those tags. Try gold side tables, side tables gold, endtablesgold, you get the drift. Much better results using very good tags. You can use a tag generator like rapid tags. When I put "gold side tables" rapid tags came back with this list diy side table,side table,side table diy,side table decor,table,diy table,coffee table,diy table ideas,end table,diy side table dollar tree,how to make a side table,diy coffee table,side table decoration ideas,side tables,coffee tables,gold top side table,round side table,bed side table build,diy end table,diy wood side table,west elm side table,side table flip,concrete side table,tables,how to make side table,farmhouse side table,making side table,tassel side table, It's a free tool and very helpful just fyi.
can you tell me why you chose venmo over pay pal or some of the other payment options? I am trying to figure out how to sell some items in my area. Thanks for your help.
When you stage, do you get comments from people thinking/wanting the staging items? And, do you use your personal FB page, or do you have another personal or business type page?
Hi! Love your videos so much. I am wondering if you noticed any change in your Marketplace sales since Facebook removed the tags option on listings. I have noticed a massive drop in views, but I'm also relatively new to selling. Wondering if you're seeing the same issue and what you are doing to remedy it?
Is Venmo a reasonable priced app for business transactions? Or is there another cash app you use with a cheaper transaction fee? Thanks for your help, Thomas
I did exactly what you said! I just put my first piece on fb market place and got a full price offer in an hour!! I’m hooked now!
Yay! Awesome!
@B Goulet it will come!
@B Goulet How are you doing with furniture flipping now?
@B Goulet wish you all the best

Lauren, you have given so much invaluable advice. Words can’t thank you enough.
One thing I’ve noticed about your photos that I think is very effective is that you lower your camera so the piece is straight-on. It captures the size/scale of the item well, and doesn’t distort the shape of the piece.

No problem! Definitely give it a try! 😃
Perfect timing, Lauren! I just posted my first ever piece of furniture on hour ago on Facebook marketplace. Thank you for the tips!!!😀❤️
Yay! So happy you did this video! I’ve been struggling to sell and was wondering what you included in your listings!
I regularly sell on FB marketplace (through the website on my phone, I don't have the app). I had no idea how many features I was missing out on by not using the app! Really appreciate the video, will be sure to use the app moving forward as I'm sure it'll boost my sales.
The app is very user friendly! Its a part of the facebook app! Good luck selling! 🤗

This was really helpful, especially your point about posting in groups in addition to FBM, thanks so much.
Yes! Groups are HUGE! Highly recommended! Thanks for watching!
My husband freaks out when I have people over to pick up items...do you load your items in your truck and meet people away from your home? I love watching you and good luck on your goal.
I have them come to my house! I always make sure to have someone else home and we have a ring doorbell
Thank you Lauren for a very detailed and informative post, all the best as you pay off your loan.

Would it be advisable to put a before and after picture with your listing? Or no?
Thank you, this is awesome 💖

Teacher, I was on the computer, does that make any difference.
Very informative! TY

Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your tips ❣
can you tell me why you chose venmo over pay pal or some of the other payment options? I am trying to figure out how to sell some items in my area. Thanks for your help.
When you stage, do you get comments from people thinking/wanting the staging items?
And, do you use your personal FB page, or do you have another personal or business type page?
I only have one time and I ended up selling it to the lady too 🤣 I use my personal page!
Hi! Love your videos so much. I am wondering if you noticed any change in your Marketplace sales since Facebook removed the tags option on listings.

Is Venmo a reasonable priced app for business transactions? Or is there another cash app you use with a cheaper transaction fee?
Thanks for your help, Thomas
How do you figure out the style when you are first starting out?
Thanks for all your help
Do you suggest using your personal FB page or creating a separate one for buying/selling?
I use my personal page. It just depends on privacy for you. If you feel more comfortable, go for it! 😀
