So, you’ve just posted your ad on BestMarketplace.co.za—great start! But to sell even faster, you need to get it in front of more people. One of the best ways to do that is by sharing your ad on social media. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you promote your listing like a pro.

🔗 Step 1: Copy Your Ad Link

After publishing your listing on BestMarketplace.co.za, you’ll receive a unique URL.
✅ Example: https://bestmarketplace.co.za/item/your-listing-name

This is your direct link—copy it!

📲 Step 2: Share on Facebook

Why Facebook? It’s the biggest platform for community selling.
Here’s how to do it:

  • Personal Profile: Share your ad with friends and family.
  • Facebook Marketplace: Paste your ad link and add similar details.
  • Buy & Sell Groups: Join local selling groups (e.g., “Buy & Sell in Johannesburg”) and post your ad link with a short, catchy description.

📌 Tip: Use eye-catching words like “Urgent Sale,” “Limited Offer,” or “Brand New.”

🐦 Step 3: Post on Twitter/X

Use short, punchy text and relevant hashtags.
✅ Example tweet:
“Selling my iPhone 13 Pro Max – excellent condition! Only R12,500! 📱 #ForSale #Johannesburg #iPhoneDeal 👉 [Your Ad Link]”

📸 Step 4: Share on Instagram

Since Instagram is image-focused, post one or two clean photos of your item.

Caption example:
“🚗 For Sale: 2016 Toyota Corolla – Great condition, only R145K. Cape Town buyers DM me!
#ad #carforsale #CapeTown #BestMarketplace
🔗 Link in bio or DM for info.”

📌 Tip: Add your ad link to your bio temporarily or use tools like Linktree.

👥 Step 5: Promote in WhatsApp & Telegram Groups

People often trust links shared in community or family groups.

  • Copy your ad link
  • Add a short message like:
    “Hey friends! I’m selling my couch—like new, great deal. Check it out: [Ad Link]”

📢 Step 6: Post on LinkedIn (For Business or Services)

If you’re offering a service or business product, LinkedIn is perfect for a professional audience.

  • Share your ad with a clear benefit:
    “Offering professional logo design services for startups. View pricing and portfolio here: [Ad Link]”

Bonus Tips:

  • 🔁 Repost Weekly to stay visible
