Facebook Groups — A Gang of Your Own

Social media, for all intents and purposes, is a form of art. It takes time, dedication and talent to put together the perfect plan. Not only that, but as the true artist that you are, you also need to engage with your fans, make them understand why they are buying into your art and why they should be coming back for more.

So how do you lay down your colors onto the canvas? Do you research on what your audience wants? Do you try to stay up to date with the latest trends and most importantly do you admit when you happen to make mistakes?

If you don’t, then that’s what Facebook groups are for! They open their arms to whoever has anything valuable to add, they support consistency and relevancy, they help you get better at what you do and they also spread the word about the services you provide.

Whether it’s your own group or someone else’s, Facebook groups are all about community and networking. They’re the hub for new and practical information, the new age forums, where if you ask the right question, you’re more than likely going to get the right answer.

So how to approach Facebook groups then? For starters know that Facebook groups take privacy seriously. Some of them are secret, others need you to ask for permission to join in, and there are also groups out there where you can just jump in and observe. So make sure you sign up to the really relevant ones, that you can contribute to, but that are also providing you with useful info as well, simply because every time someone will post in the group, you will be notified of it.

The other cool thing about Facebook groups that not everybody knows about is the search bar at the top right hand side, where you can search for any keywords that might have been used in conversations, without having to scroll down, forever searching for that bit of information you need. Pretty neat, right? This way you avoid asking same questions someone else has asked a couple of days before, and pretty much avoids duplication, which is always a bonus.

But particularly for your business, Facebook groups does wonders for your reputation. With the right amount of posting and engagement, you can become an expert in your field within weeks. Judging by the quality of your content, you can create strong relationships with your followers and group members that will trust you and become potential leads too!

So get yourself on Facebook groups now, create one of your own if you have some wisdom to share with your tribe of followers, and remember, for any questions you might have, we’re just an email away.

Keep up the good work!
