Starting a Successful Facebook Group
can be challenging and rewarding all at the same time. You get to know new faces, new ideas, and you start building great connections. I love that about building a Facebook Group.
You have to show up daily in order to keep up with it. You must treat it like a baby. It’s no joke!
If you do have a business and you want to increase your reach this is a great way of doing it, however, you must nurture it. Here you can build long lasting relationships and collaborate with other creative entrepreneurs.
My biggest fear about it, though, is that when I started doing this, I thought it would be a piece of cake and now I’m like burning my bridge with it.
You’ll find people want it because it is something every woman must have and when we set our minds to doing something, we do it. However, this are some things to consider:
- Once you start it people may not want to introduce themselves because they’re too shy.
- People may not comment until about a year from now because they want to see how you do and then they’ll decide whether they keep you or not.
- They won’t like your content until about a year to it.
It’s important to know the goods of starting one because you have the potential of having one and not having one. And honestly, it takes time. But you have to be willing to work your booty off. Trust me. People are counting on you to deliver amazing content for free. And I’m not going to lie to you. I’m in other groups and sometimes I’m not crazy about the people but the content is absolutely incredible.
Now, if you’re going to be in other groups while you’re growing yours. Choose a Facebook group that you can resonate with. Don’t do it because everyone is there. Do it because you feel connected with the owner of the group and the group itself.
Check the engagement of the Facebook group. If you don’t see any engagement that usually isn’t a good thing because it could be the type of people and they’re definitely not a good fit for the group or the owner isn’t providing the group with amazing content. So, always engage and ask questions. It’s important that you ask questions because it helps you and others receive valuable information.
Join 3-4 Facebook groups.
Your time matters and it’s great to put your time where it matters the most. The reason I say focus on a select few is because if we’re all over the place and trying to multitask, but we may not be as efficient as we should. Keep that in mind.
If you’re not getting people to Engage.
Tag them and ask them questions nicely. The reason why they’re not engaging with you is because they’re in other Facebook groups or life is just kind of going along for them. I suggest that you tag them with love and show appreciation.
Most people will immediately start connecting with you once they see that you’ve tagged them. Something I always say to myself is, treat others with love.
Don’t allow Spam.
Have a day where you allow Promotions, and advertisement, this way you don’t have to deal with people displaying spam. This can be very frustrating especially if people aren’t educated. If you let it slip away it may cost you and turn some of your peeps away. Especially, if it’s content that’s illegal or inappropriate.
Connect.
There’s a reason why people allow you into their Facebook group, so you can engage and grow your business. There are lots of opportunities here and this can really benefit you. Again, ask questions that can lead to you help others solve problems. Whatever you have to offer, connect with them and provide them with beneficial information for Free. This way you can gain yourself a client. The more you do it, the more you’re putting your name out there. Which is creating curiosity and people are now able to see and connect with you. 🙂
This has been super helpful for me because I’ve been able to connect with other fellow entrepreneurs and make some collaborations. Follow these steps and this should help you get closer to your desires. Enjoy.
Any other suggestions? I’d love to hear. Leave me a comment.
