10 Ways To Run a Successful Facebook Group #Facebook

A Facebook group is more intimate than a business page, and attracts people that are genuinely interested in what your group is about. People can come and go, which is great – though it can lead to a lot of unwanted problems for the administrators. Today I’m going to give you some tips on how to better manage your Facebook group.

Whether you have an open or closed group, choosing a descriptive group name will help people identify whether or not they really want to be part of your community.

Create a brief, easy-to-scan description that contains the main keywords of your business integrated in an organic, friendly manner.

If you find that some group members are more important than others (for marketing, interaction – or any reason) segment them into special lists for targeted sales.

Invite your group members to share content in your Facebook group, to make friends and to start discussions about things in your niche that are topical or controversial.

If there is one thing you don’t want in your group, its trolls, spammers and chancers. Make your group etiquette doc available to everyone so that they know the rules of engagement.

If you are having trouble with some members of your community, break your policy doc into small image posts and share them intermittently on your page. People take in knowledge better this way.

A little unknown fact about authorities, is that they don’t like being added to groups if you don’t ask them first. If you have authorities on your Facebook page, be polite – ask them first!

These days there are 3 options to choose from – open groups, closed groups and secret groups. Make sure your level of privacy corresponds with the goal for the group.

An icon can say more than a group name, if you choose it well. You will get the chance to choose yours from a list of options. Pick one that most accurately describes your group!

Use the pin function in your group to fix your policy document or some breaking news (even hot posts, like they do on forums) to get your members to read and engage with it.

Use these 10 great Facebook group tips to better manage and run your very own group on the platform. As you will discover, it can be a full time job moderating your community, and keeping the conversation in line with your goals. But this is essential if your group is going to be successful, and grow in your niche.
