Well, selling social media accounts is not legal. A lot of social media sites have strict policy against buying and selling accounts. However, this does not mean you are strictly prohibited to sell your social media accounts. In fact, there is an easy way to bypass social media policy against selling accounts. Here is how you can do it.

Facebook Page: You cannot sell your personal facebook account, however, you can sell your facebook page and facebook group but making another person admin and asking him to remove you from admin.

Twitter Account: If you have a Twitter account for your business and if you sold your business, you can also transfer the ownership of your Twitter account to the new owner.

Instagram: This works similar to transferring ownership of Twitter account for business.

Youtube/TikTok: This is against their policy but you can sell your account. There are even marketplaces where you can buy and sell youtube and tiktok accounts.

This is may for time of hearing this but I still think this might be risky for the person who will buy that account. Although, maybe you selling the account will face no problem but the person buying it can get a problem. Twitter has a strict policy that you can at any point in time get banned if you break the rules and regulations and it will be hardly for you to get a new account unless you create new one using new gmail and new account.

I don't know that of Facebook but it also has it own policy that if you abide by it can lead you to banned. Tiktok also have strict policy that if you break the rules and regulations you can also get banned. So what at all do they use that old social media account for? I remember a friend of my got his account hacked and I was wondering what that person who hacked the account is going to use it for. Is it like the person is going to use the account to fraud people or he just need the follower of my friend? Well, is all up to them and they know what they are doing.

Regardless of illegal or legal actions, in fact it has long been widespread, buying and selling social media accounts, but most social media will ban hacked accounts, especially if the original owner of the account complains to the social media admin. Currently you no longer need to visit Darkweb to buy or sell social media accounts, but you will easily find several marketplaces for buying and selling social media accounts.

Yes ofcourse. Selling social media accounts is one of the most profitebla online venture. Flipping domains take first and flipping social media account take two, I think. Out of the industry Instagram play a considerable roll. There several platform to sell Instagram accounts.

The word selling accounts might be very disturbing, therefore, I would like to use the better term “transfer of ownership.” While selling a personal account and page might not sound very good, you can transfer your social media pages and accounts if you have used this for business purposes. You cannot sell social media accounts but you can transfer social media accounts. Transferring means changing ownership (you can receive a cash incentive for doing this). Imagine I create a facebook page, I build tons of followers on my facebook page, and my posts on Facebook get good engagement (likes, comments, shares). I can transfer this page to another person and get money for it. Transferring ownership of pages and groups is perfectly ok on facebook. The same applies to other social pages. However, the transfer process can be very tricky as social media sites might be suspicious when the accounts get accessed from a new device and location (which have not been used previously)

There was a time i developed interest in selling instagram account for some good amount of money on socialtradia platform. The simply specialises on connecting people who wants to sell social media platforms particularly instagram with people who wants to buy such an account.

If your account have good number of followers then you can actually make some good amount of money. There are people who have up to 15,000 followers and they are selling their account for up to $100 or even more. This is actually something that made me to be interested and i opened an instagram account.

I tried as much as possible to grow the account but on the long run i lost interest. I don't know if the platform is actually very functional now because it has been a very long time i used it.

Meanwhile, the instagram account i opened during that time is still growing now if you without me posting my picture. Every day i get notifications of new people who are following the page. It is actually a celebrities page and the pictures i posted some time ago is still attracting a lot of people.

I will actually keep tab with it and when it reaches up to 5000 followers, i will sale the account or better still use it for reasonable things.

I don't think selling Facebook accounts for money is a good idea to make money I have seen some people who have tried to make money with that kind of trick and is ether they get scammed or they get caught there are other people as well who hacks people Facebook accounts and sells it to other people for money but the problem there is selling it online.

You will have to know the person if not you're just going to get scammed it happened to me once I tried to sell a Facebook account the gut demanded for the logins first but I didn't agree I told him to pay me first then I will send him the logins after a long talk I decided to trust him and send him the logins boom he blocked me on Facebook, it was one of the painful things I have experienced online and I was shocked for some days wondering why people where just so wicked.

But there are other ways by which you can make money on Facebook that is by selling your Facebook group or page, when your group or page gets to a certain amount of people you can sell it for money .

I have seen some people engaging in this business, they sell different social media accounts for profit. But at the same time I don't really know much about this business personally , if it is something legal or illegal . I don't just want to engage in something that I could be at risk of getting into trouble.

In most cases some of this social media people are buying they are using it for criminal activities which is not encouraging. I will not want myself to be involved in such for now until I am able to clearify to understand that no matter What May happen I will not be held responsible for anything.

I have a little idea about selling and buying of domain. If this was a business you are talking about I will gladly engage in this because this one is illegal business that can be done without any problem.

There is one important thing here! Sometimes it is impossible to sell or transfer accounts on Social Networks. Therefore, you need to take this fact into account and be careful when using this type of income.
