Facebook marketplace is a social classifieds service on Facebook that allows users to find classifieds in their area. This can be a great way to promote your products and services if done correctly. Using the Facebook Marketplace you can sell, give away, buy, ask or search for anything you want. You can also use the Marketplace to support your favourite charities by selling your unwanted goods for a good cause. Additionally, you can see what your friends are buying and/or selling.

To be honest, I have used it last year for a few items and I did not get any good leads and the leads I received, it was the same exact message from various users so it made me suspicious. Thus, I went back to Craigslist. Maybe FB Marketplace works for others, but it sure did not work for me.

Does it operate on a CPC model? I would just stick with AdWords now that they offer demographic targeting. When FB's marketplace first came out it was unique in that there was all this demographic targeting you couldn't do elsewhere, but AdWords is just as feature-rich, if not more so, and has a much larger pool.

FaceBook called me yesterday to solicit their PPC services. They said they start at around $0.45 a click and go to about $1 or $2 a click. Starting at 45 cents is WAY too high for me, especially when Google has a one penny a click minimum! :)
