Building a Facebook Group to 40K

[BlackHatRael]

I'd like to build a facebook group of 40K in a niche of self help.

I have :

* A file with all the main groups in this niche
* A file with all the facebook users in all these groups


I don't know which angle to take to build up the group in the sense that I want this specific audience I gather in the CSV files (the 2 files I mentionned above).

I know I can invite all my friends into a group 2 different way :

- Through my facebook account by inviting my friend.
- Through my facebook page by inviting all my friend into the group (the group need to be linked to the facebook page).

The page method is way faster as you can mass invite even though you can automatize with a script the "adding members" option.

So the way to do it would be to have all this audience as friend which require multiple accounts since on FB in 2018 we have a limit of 5000 friends per account.
It will also take a long time before people start accepting my requests and thus me adding them into the group.

I'd like to know if any of you have some advices on how to automatize this and make it as fast as possible WITHOUT triggering facebook system of course.

I hope I made myself clear.

Are you going to keep the group or sell it once you hit 40K?

I don't plan on selling it at all.


Is that a factor that I need to consider (not having any monetize intention) when building the group ?

No, that is not always a factor... I just sold one for 300.00 that has just under 10K as you can almost build them with your eyes closed and can grab a decent dollar for them if you work it.

Very well.


So how would you build them with your eyes closed ?

Also what is your take on my go to in the OP ?

I share the groups I build using automation in other groups that have a similar theme, a similar demographic or a similar GEO.

While the group is growing I rent out parts of the group and when I see an opportunity to just cash in and move on I do that.

Yes but your growth is organic.

I want to automatize it and make it fast. I wonder if anyone has ever done that in the forum.

It is organic in one sense but 100% automated in that I do nothing but set the tool to work and take out my fishing gear.

Thanks for the replies by the way.

Ok, are you done to discuss it by pm ?

I share in public so that all can benefit so a PM is not something I would want to entertain as I am sure there are hundreds of others that would benefit from this thread.

Ok no problem.

What tools do I need for making this work ?

There are several options as to tools sold in the marketplace.

For me to suggest one over the other would be improper but you can find them here:

Others may want to chime in here and suggest their favorite FB tool and that would be fine but because I'm a staff member I try to not do that as people put a little more weight on my recommendations due to that.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it.

what kind of settings have you found work best? do you just share the group link with some short text? how frequently do you share them and across how many accounts?

That is a really tough question to answer because all those gurus that give you hard numbers are usually so full of dog crap it makes the whole world stink up.

In general though, I share across as many related accounts using 8 - 12 accounts and only drop a link every 15 - 20 posts so that everything looks natural.

My posts with links are not a quickie but rather a 2 - 3 sentence paragraph addressing a particular deal.

wow! great info. if you're making a lot of posts that aren't link driven, where are you getting the content source? scraping it from niche relevant pages or RSS feeds? i know FB has been cracking down on posting in groups too much lately so how frequently do you post in groups to make sure you stay under the radar? like 5 times a day per account?

5 Times a day per account in a group is unnatural and that is not the way I approach anything.

2 - 4 times a week is more like it.

Very interesting thread!
Thanks.

What is 300.00 ? Thirty thousand or 300 dollars ?
Sorry the metric system is different in different geos.. I have many groups with 100K+ members and i stumbled up on this thread by chance and would love to hear more on how you sold it.. Thanks so much for this thread..
