Your Facebook News Feed

Obviously you have to have something to sell first like an affiliate marketing company's products or your own products, but then you use Facebook to market them. You can start by using your news feed.

Step 1: Create a new post starting by uploading a video or picture. Everything is media based these days and you need to get your post noticed by a lot of people. Try a 5 minute of less video or a picture that either entertains, creates interest, or has a good quote.

Step 2: Write a few sentences, starting with something interesting that captures the attention of your audience. Then, tie it into a story, relating to the topic of the post and the product. Then, at the end, have a link to the product or info about it.

Step 3 (optional): You can even do a small ad or post boost to get more people to see the content through Facebook advertising.
