Launching a Facebook Group

What’s holding you back from launching a Facebook group? Fear? Imposter syndrome? Lack of knowledge?

Today we’re talking all about the logistics of launching your Facebook group.

If you didn’t catch last week’s episode, you might want to go back and listen, because we talked all about the difference between a Facebook page and a Facebook group, and the benefits of having a group.

This week we’re really going to get deeper into how you can successfully launch your group. I know it can be overwhelming with all the different things to think about: naming it, making rules, getting members, and creating content. But it’s so worth it, and hopefully, by the end of this episode, it won’t seem overwhelming at all!

Ready? Let’s do it!

Episode #43 Takeaways

• Choose a niche for your group.
• The quality of the people in your group is more important than the quantity.
• Your group name needs to make it obvious who the group is for.
• It can be fun to have a name for your group members.
• Be clear in your group description.
• Ask incoming members questions.
• Get new members on your email list.
• The better you set up your rules, the better your community will be.
• Tags help people find your group in a Facebook search.
• Use a welcome post to introduce yourself and your vision.
• Have an exclusive freebie inside your group.

Next week, we’re going to be continuing our discussion about Facebook groups. I’m going to talk all about growing the group that you have now launched!

Don’t forget, I have a free resource for you that includes 50 different posts for your Facebook group. What’s great about this is that while there are 50 posts, when you read each question, it will lead you to think about ten more questions! So… that’s a whole lot of posts. You can get hold of it below!
