have the option of creating your own group. You can add your contacts as per
your needs and requirement.

Facebook Post

commodity to your current Facebook friends. You can include a picture of the
item. Share that post with your friends, so that it can further be shared by
your friends on their Facebook page. You can also use some of your friend’s
posts (if they are also selling anything on Facebook) instead of going through
the hassle of writing a post on your own (only if you find a good one).
You can also use messenger and follow-up

share the same post with your friends and groups on messenger. Keep a regular follow-up and check if anyone
responds. This lets you stay in touch with potential customers.
