[AMA] Facebook Pages and Groups

When I first started my Facebook page I was hiting an average of 900-1k likes per post. I run ads on my best post and invite those who like the post to like my page. With this strategy I was able to grow the page to 10k likes and was hitting 800-1,200 likes per post. I was very happy with the progress. Immediately I hit 10k likes the page engagement and reach went down badly, hardly was able to get 100 likes again. It was a real struggle, it didnt stop the page from growing organically as I stopped the ads since the reach issue had and only post content. Now the page is on 20k likes but still hardly get 200 likes now still. I'm tired of this and I dont even know what to do anymore, what do you suggest is the best way to get my page active again.

Thanks..

Wow i feel you i really have the same situation of you and many others are too
 
Do you know of any active ways to game Facebooks Ranking algorithm?
Reduced distribution of posts has made me useless.

Thanks

kindly tell how to increase organic like of facebook page
 
Would you mind telling us if the income from doing all this is good? Seems like a lot of work and recently I have read too many posts about facebook pages being hard to grow due to new facebook algorithm.
 
First of all, thanks a lot for taking the time to run this AMA about this particular topic.

Secondly, these are my questions...
  • For a guy that is about to launch an affiliate website...What would be best? Fan page? or a group? both?
  • What would be the best way to grow it so i can drive the most amount of traffic to my blog?
Cheers!
 
I have few FB pages and 1 group

1 fb page in healthy niche 55k likes 1st tier countries
1 fb group in healthy niche 15k 1st tier countries
1 fb page (mostly movie related) 200k likes
1 fb page news related 20k likes

And i dont make 1$ from all of they, i try to post few times and cant make some engagements. Only on that page with 200k likes i post few videos that become viral with over 10m views. Can you give me some ideas how can i monetize them.
 
Have you ever got a Copyright infringement and account disabled because of that?

No problem mate, happy to help. In regards to your first question - I would say definitely both. When you create a page you have the option to create a group with the page as the group owner, so they are essentially tied together. This is smart because as the page grows so does your group, and vice versa.

For traffic, sharing page posts to multiple groups will always work to an extent. Also, ever since Facebook has introduced page stories I've found them really effective for driving traffic from my biggest pages.

1 fb page in healthy niche 55k likes 1st tier countries

Those are very profitable niches. The you aren't making any money could be too much focus on promoting directly on Facebook. Facebook's algorithm has killed organic reach as I'm sure you are aware, so it will never be worth your time to promote right to your page/group audience.

Instead, you should be putting all your effort into funneling your audience away from Facebook and into your own email/messenger list which is where the money is made. Then you can establish a relationship and warm up your leads before promoting offers to them. So find some creative ways to accomplish this - think outside the box :)

Have you ever got a Copyright infringement and account disabled because of that?

I have only ever received a copyright infringement once for background music used in a meme video. Simply removed the video and that was that.

They didnt let me remove the video.
It was really weird, anyway I arranged with the content owners privately. We reached an agreement and they contacted FB IP department. But they haven't removed the infrigements yet. Also I already bought the video from JunkinMedia and they removed the copyright very fast.

Really weird, seems like platform is bugged?
 
Is it possible to do amazon affiliate through FB ?

Wow that is very strange... Good that you were able to reach an agreement with them though.

Absolutely. Keep in mind most people on Facebook aren't in the buying mood though, so you have to put the effort into getting them into a funnel and warming them up a bit before promoting your products to them.
 
Thanks for the AMA @Icey Dan . I want to promote my email squeeze page that offers a free ebook for email. How could I best promote it via facebook? I am afraid that if I directly promote it in groups then it is seen as spamming. If I post article links to my site (which I don't have) and then have an email sign up pop up the sign up rate would be like super duper low :/
 
I have a case for you and I want you to put light on it what actually happened in my case.
I am a member of over 100+ groups same is my colleague.Once he put a shout out on 10-12 groups in a single day and FB banned his account for more posts and comments etc. But I did the same and I did it over like 50-60 groups in a single hour but I was never banned.We both have old accounts.Can you tell me what actually has happened in this case.

No problem at all :)

If I were you, I would do the following. I know this is complex and requires some time and $ upfront - but it works extremely well and pays off big time in the long run.

1. Create a Facebook page for your business/website if you don't already have one.

2. Sign up for a Manyhat Pro account ($10/month) and connect your page. Manychat is a really powerful AI messenger marketing platform *I am not affiliated with them in any way*.

3. Create a new post on your page to promote the e-book and say something like "comment EMAIL below to get your free e-book".

4. Create a Facebook comments growth tool on Manychat and select the post from step 3 (this is why you need pro). Set the trigger keyword to EMAIL or whatever you asked them to comment in your post. You will have to set up an opt-in sequence as well which is pretty straight-forward.

5. Create a new Facebook ads account if you don't have one and create a new "post engagement" campaign. Select the option to promote an existing post, and then choose the one you made from step 3. Create a few Adsets with different targeting interests and demographics and test them with low budgets to collect data on what works and what doesn't.

6. As people start to comment EMAIL on your ads to get their free e-book, Manychat will automatically send them your opt-in message. If they opt in by replying, you've got them on your messenger marketing list which is extremely powerful. Using Manychat, you can broadcast to your messenger list - and the open/click-through rates are significantly higher than email.

7. Have the opt-in sequence prompt the ask the user to enter the email address they would like the e-book sent to. Use Zapier to connect Manychat to the email marketing platform that you use (they have a decent free plan for starting out). This whole process can be completely automated.

8. Lastly, set up your welcome email to send out the e-book to new subscribers.

Weird, maybe when your colleague did it more group moderators reported his posts than when you did it? Or perhaps you just got lucky lol. Not quite sure on that one sorry! :confused:
 
What determines the reach of the post shared in the group?
I shared links on comments of my posts, month ago i had 1000 clicks, now its much much less.
I use public groups that I am not the administrator of.
Even when i do engagement using my fake accounts(commenting, likes) then post still have very bad reach :/
 
It’s good to have an expert in the house.
I’m myself never really used fb, not even for personal page ... well that’s my background.
As a respond to covid In about 6 month from now I plan to launch non-profit online language school. everything is going to be free, but i sill need audience/students
My target audience are young people, mainly women age 15-23 who are planning to learn second language.
My question is what can i do prior launch with fake accounts that i don’t have yet. And when i should start?
I think it’s about time to buy few mobile phones and make a fake accounts. Then closer to launch date make few more, and then more?
What can i do with those fakes my main page/group except for posting there, faking engagement and promoting project on other language/girls related pages?
I don’t plan on running any ads campaign from fake accounts.
What else should i do? When to start and how many fake accounts should employ? And how can i make it not time consuming?
