How do I grow a facebook group? Right now I joined facebook groups related to my niche and posted my group there and people are joining

In my experience it's tough growing a group without a page to drive members from. Sure you can spend your time posting in groups and getting a few new members a day but that is slow and painful.

I would suggest setting up some kind of Facebook page, YouTube channel, Subreddit etc.. And focus on using that as a tool to get people into your group.

Here is an example: One of my pages has 130K and it took a year or so to get it to that point. I just share memes. Every time I share a meme on the page, I leave a comment on the post with a link to my group. Just doing this alone gets me 50-100 new group members each day with minimal effort.

What are different ways to monetise Facebook pages and groups effectively ?

Well if I have learned anything over the years it's that monetizing your pages and groups directly is very difficult and typically doesn't work very well. The name of the game is figuring out creative ways to funnel your audiences away from Facebook and into your email or messenger list so that you can freely market to them whenever you want.

Try to think of Facebook as less of a monetization opportunity and more of a tool to build your marketing funnel. Once you have a decent list built up you have more control and can go to work with promoting affiliate products via email or whatever it is that you want to sell. Cheers

I have like 70-80 aged (year 2011) facebook accounts. How can i use them in a proper way to post my blog articles on facebook ?
Any suggestion would be appreciated ?

Thanks in advance

I think your best option would be to log in to each aged account and join as many groups as you can that are relevant to the articles you post about. It's going to be a pain in the ass but it's so worth doing trust me. Every day, share a different article from each account into all the groups you joined.

Make sure to add some text in the post and don't just post links. Something like "Interesting read!" just to make it seem less spammy. If you can do this consistently for a few days you should see some traffic coming in. Hope that helps!

I have tons of Facebook accounts from real people that i use to post to Facebook groups, I realise that after some time I rarely see any click coming from all the accounts. I have been posting my Blogger.com links to those groups initially, and I can still post, only that seems nobody is seeing my posts anymore, what can I do to turn this around.

If you plan on using brand new accounts I would suggest warming them up for at least a month before you use them to promote anything. Make the new profiles look as real as you can by changing profile & cover photos every few days, sharing content, and adding friends. There are lots of people on these forums you can buy aged accounts from as well. This may be your better option if you don't mind spending a little bit and don't feel like going through the effort of warming up accounts.

I always recommend warming up accounts for at least a month before using them to promote anything.

Thanks for this AMA!
How do you manage multiple accounts? One computer, same browser with incognito window, different IP from a VPN? Or some other setup?

No problem, happy to help out the community.

I use a VPN and switch IP's daily. If you plan having success with anything Blackhat, I would say using a VPN is a must. There are lots of premium ones you can use with a free tial without spending any money.

I don't understand you.

OP, thanks for sharing your insights!

What things should be considered creating Facebook accounts for advertisement purposes in groups? For how long I should way before advertising. Do I need to upload photos, update profile, bio (for more realistic look)? I know that the fastest way is to buy aged accounts but in this case I would like to save money, do it by myself and learn from the process. Also, maybe you have any suggestions what type of posts are the most effective to attract customers to money site?

Aged accounts doesn't help for group posting too. They must have activities running like liking posts, commenting, uploading photos and etc.

1# 20 old fb accounts
2# join groups to my related nice
3# send friend request to those group members
4# if they aspect my request then invite them to my group

is this method still works perfectly with a social automation software?

I have a few pages but some are not visible when adding fb pages to auto poster, can you tell me why?

I want to know if Facebook still legit for growth because for me Facebook now is only for pro who know how to create accounts and use them in bots as it's pretty much impossible to do if you don't have money to invest on software like multilogin as software like that are the only road now to have more than 1 facebook account not like other SM
For me growth is useless unless you want two things selling (using ads ) so page likes will only help you for social proof not for engagement and second is spamming as there is even now many spammers even on this cia platform so in conclusion for me growth on this platform is dead unless you want to sell something (service , your local store,ecommerce,affiliation...) With ads (because i think it's the best social media platform to target people and make most money) but for growth there are much betterSM (insta,snap,twiiter,tiktok...)

Or you want spamming that's it that's the only 2 things for me that still and will continue work on this platform

Do you agree with me on that ?

What? You said you "switched IPs daily"? You don't use one account = one IP? And could you tell me how exactly you do it with browsers, cookies etc?

Yes that method does still work but it's really hard to automate. So in order to successful you have to do it manually.

I had this issue as well. Had been using Buffer for quite some time with no issues but I tried adding one of my newer pages one time and same thing as your situation I couldn't add it.

I solved it by using Jarvee for that page in particular and I was able to add my page to their auto poster. Which one are using now and have you tried others?

I am currently using a self hosted scripts from codecanyon (also tried a few other same self hosted solution). It gives me more control
Also used a few option not jarvee though
Sometimes it's a wordpress plugin which couldn't read the page.

I guess only my personal pages are showing and not pages in business manager, that could be something.

Can you suggest me any guideline or Method link to do this project in manually.

about netfilex

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..
