1. What is Live Selling?
It’s when you go live on Facebook—on your page or in a group—and showcase your products directly. You excite customers, answer their questions in real time, and take orders instantly.
People watch, like a product, send a comment or message—and you close the sale.
2. Why Is Live Selling So Effective?
-
It builds trust between you and the customer
-
The customer sees the product, hears your voice, and learns how to use it
-
Live interaction = real-time answers to doubts or questions
-
Creates urgency: “Last piece! Only available today!”
-
No need for a complex website
3. What Do You Need to Start Live Selling?
-
A phone with decent or good camera quality
-
Good lighting (natural or a ring light)
-
Products ready to display (clean, organized, with visible pricing)
-
Quiet space with a clean background
-
A Facebook page with followers or an active group
Note: You can start with just your phone—no need for fancy equipment.
4. Steps to Organize a Successful Live Stream
Step 1: Promote the Live Beforehand
Make a post or story with the live’s time and what you’ll showcase
“Don’t miss it! Tonight at 9:00 PM — Summer clothing live with crazy discounts!”
Step 2: Organize Your Display
Prepare the products in order to avoid wasting time
Introduce yourself and start with an exciting item
Speak clearly and with a smile
Step 3: Show the Product Well
Show the item from all angles
Mention the price, size, available colors
Use engaging phrases:
“Look how soft it is, perfect even for Eid! Only 3 pieces left!”
Step 4: Taking Orders
Orders come in the comments or messages
Use product numbers and prices. Ask viewers to comment: “I want number 5”
Use Google Forms or WhatsApp to collect buyer info
5. What Can You Sell on Live?
-
Clothing (men’s and women’s)
-
Makeup and skincare products
-
Kitchen tools
-
Accessories
-
Local products (oils, herbs…)
-
Small electronics (headphones, power banks…)
Example:
A girl sells t-shirts via live every week, gets 300 viewers, makes ~50 orders, and earns $5 profit per order = $250 in one night.
6. How to Boost Engagement and Sales?
-
Answer questions instantly
-
Call out viewers by name:
“Thanks Amina for your order! Congratulations!”
-
Offer an exclusive deal: “First 10 orders get a free gift”
-
Use interactive comments:
“What do you think? Worth 79 dirhams?”
-
Add suspense or surprises:
“There’s a surprise at the end—stay tuned!”
7. How to Handle Orders and Payment?
A. Gather customer info:
Name, address, phone number, item ordered
B. Delivery options:
Use delivery companies (local ones like Amana, Aramex, Jibli, etc.)
Or deliver in person if in a small city
C. Payment methods:
-
Cash on Delivery (COD)
-
Bank transfer or mobile payments (Inwi Money, Orange, etc.)
8. Key Tips to Succeed in Live Selling
-
Be natural and avoid being too stiff
-
Organize your products and setup
-
Go live at peak times (evenings or weekends)
-
Solve issues immediately (don’t say “I’ll get back to you later”)
-
Record the live and leave the video up for those who missed it
9. Do You Need Your Own Product to Start?
No! You can:
-
Use dropshipping: Show products from a third party and earn after each sale
-
Partner with local suppliers: Use photos or samples to present live
-
Collaborate with stores: Promote for them in exchange for a commission
Conclusion
Live selling on Facebook is one of the fastest ways to make money—especially if you do it with trust and organization.
Every live can bring sales, new followers, and stronger brand trust.
You don’t need a big investment—but you do need patience, good setup, and professional behavior.
