[Method] How To Grow Your Facebook Group

[davca3]

I used this in the following way to grow from 0.

Paid Engagement ad on Facebook optimized towards getting page likes (+/- 4 usd per day) - every day would get around 60 page likes.

Then would invite with @jul3s method to invite people to the page group and then would also use the remind invite option after a couple of days. On average would get 10-15 people in the group every day.

Maybe someone can share an even quicker method to grow from 0?

A quicker, cheaper, and better way is to run a giveaway and connect the post to the Manychat messenger sequence, with the first message as an invitation to the FB group. You get way more for every dollar you spend by collecting the subscribers to whom you can send new offers and invite them to join FB group, like the page, ask for email, ask to share the giveaway where you get more free traffic, etc.

Is it worth to grow a page? Or groups are the thing of today.

I mean, If I am already growing a group, why not a page?

What some advantages over Page to Group?

 

[manolo12399]

group followers, I think in % they should see the post posted in the group, more than post of a fb page, so should be more reach for a group than for a page, somebody can confirm too?

This a really good approach but for this to happen, I think you need to have a page with good organic followers. The more the merrier of course. I have a page but not much followers so I will try it once I reach good number of likes.

Hi, I followed the method, have 3-4 admin for group, they are also admins in the connected fb page, but when need to invite, I see the number of invites sent, often dont increase, not sure if is a bug or cache issue

The sense of community and way higher organic reach.

Yes, that's correct.

Sorry, I can't help with that.

I did mention what I'm using in the first post. The chrome extension is called -> Send reminder to group invites for Facebook™

did the invite members will show your family and friends and people from the group ?

No. The invite on group page shows only those that liked your page, and not family and friends.

Thanks for sharing! I tested the method and it works really well
Is there a possibility to invite members of another group?

 

[joeemmanuel]

Thanks for sharing, it's not easy to build a Facebook fan page today if you don't already have one

 

[Ad account]

posting twice or three times in a day. It shows that more posting group comes first in search.

You can ask your friend to add members with some gift. You know it will provide you active members whom you can't buy easily.

Sometimes it takes some time for the invite to show up. In the meantime, make a few posts per week on the fan page and invite them to the group where you make sure to post engaging content. Patience

 

[Prehisto]

I have absolutely stupid question.

How does the group and page interact? If I post in Page, does those posts show in group as well?
Or one has to manage both page and group in order to keep the engagment up ?

In fewer words, what is the end game here?

 

[sandandkush]

You will need to share content from your page to the linked group, and vice versa.
Yes, you will need to manage both.

End game (in my opinion):
Groups deliver more engagement due to FB algorithm and as a result, are faster to build (in terms of membership).
So its good to use groups as sub-niches and support for your page.
Your FB page should acquire more growth from the groups in the end while getting traffic from the groups as well.

Process
All posts from Page > Related linked Groups (Grow Page as content gets more reach and engagement)
Post from each group to > Page (Grow Groups)

Also, post more images and videos frequently (as well as time when your competitors are asleep) in the groups.

@jul3s, I was looking around for a new thread to sticky in the Facebook section to replace the old one and came across your thread. Thank you for sharing this with the community.
