On social media, you can either selling your own products directly, or marketing your products and drive traffic to your store to generate sales. Some social platforms have “shop” feature that allows you to sell your products. For instance, on Facebook and Instagram, You can list your product for sale. This feature saves you form creating an online store on your website or third party marketplace. When you promote, either through you pages or through ads, you are basically trying to divert social traffic to your store.

For me l have tried promoting through the Facebook. l found that it had a very great potential and bringing in positive results. So l think it's so when we come to the selling part of it.

I will actually love to do both. I have promoted my business once on social media before but I did not achieve the needed results but to be honest I did not really put in enough effort.

Selling's like making a direct ask for a purchase, think "Buy my shirt!" Promoting builds hype & awareness, like "Check out this cool shirt brand!" Both crucial, but selling feels pushy, promoting paves the way. Think long-term engagement, then close the deal

I both the same actions using the Facebook. I did sell a lot by doing it. But then, I need to stop because the local government imposed new rules. I cannot afford to do it.

Both are viable options and can be tried and many are already utilizing both and are able to make decent money with it and its not tough to promote or sell via it

I experimented with selling and promoting through social media platforms. Initially, I used Instagram to sell my products, and now I am employing both Instagram and Facebook to promote my services.
