There are two ways to sell on Instagram and Facebook:
You set up a shop and start selling
You advertise your products and send facebook and Instagram users to you site to complete the purchase.
Sell from your page
If you want to sell through the first method, there are some requirements to follow, for example, you need to have x number of followers, you need to get approval from the platform, etc. However, the second method requires you to have ad budget and nothing else.
The third method requires you to have a huge following. If you have built huge audience, you don’t have to spend money on ads to generate sales. However, you in order to build huge following you might have to spend money on ads. It is really difficult to build following for common people. Having said that if you have patience and if you are a good content creator, you might be able to build following organically.
