18 Facebook Groups Tips and Strategies

Facebook Groups for Bloggers Etiquette

Facebook Groups for Bloggers possess an unspoken rule about the way group members are expected to behave and interact.

Sometimes, the group rules are specified in a pinned post on the group’s main feed. Sometimes you can find these “rules” in the info section of the groups’ main page.

In many occasions however, the group itself won’t have any visible guidelines.

But believe me when I tell you, your behavior in your Facebook Groups does matter and could make the difference in your overall success.

1. Be genuine

Everyone is looking out for their best interest. However, there is a difference between a genuine answer to a question and always attaching a post you wrote about the subject being discussed and/or selling one of your products.

Constantly self-promoting doesn’t come across genuine, thus decreasing the odds for positive and constructive interaction.

2. Be constructive

Advice and support is something everyone seeks in these groups at any giving time.

Be sure to offer constructive criticism and give your honest opinion.

In Facebook Groups you will find bloggers and people from all over the world and all walks of life. So, when giving your opinion choose your words carefully and respectfully.

3. Don’t hit and run

I know we are all guilty of this sometimes, especially because of time constrains and our busy schedules.

But, don’t be the person to always drop their content and leave without returning the favor to other members of the group.

Especially, if those are the group rules in the first place.

Eventually, people will catch on to it and you might be expelled from the group.

What’s worse, your reputation will be on the line.

Believe it or not the blogging world is a very close-knit community, so don’t get on anyone’s bad side.

4. Play nice 

We are all professional adults and there isn’t a good reason why we shouldn’t be acting like one. Remember you aren’t only representing yourself, but your business as well.

5. Follow the rules

Some groups enforce their rules more than others. Regardless, it is wise for you to abide by the terms at the risk of being booted from the group.

Facebook Groups General Tips

6. Narrow it down

There are hundreds of Facebook Groups out there. However, not all might be beneficial to helping your blog or business grow.

It is important that you narrow it down.

Focusing on those Facebook Groups that are interactive and informative will be the most valuable and worthy of your time.

Being part of 10 or 20 Facebook Blogging groups at the same time might sound tempting in terms of networking and promoting your material.

However, it can quickly become extremely overwhelming.

Putting in place a concise and organized strategic plan of action can save you a lot of valuable time and headaches.

7. Size Matters

The amount of members in a Facebook Group for bloggers and entrepreneurs is very important.

You might think that the bigger the group the better off you’ll be; well think again.

In groups of 10,000+ members, post threads are constantly on the go, restricting post visibility.

A smaller group might give you the chance to showcase a post for a longer period time, thus allowing bigger reach.

8. Minimize distractions

This is a big one for me!

Don’t get caught up in your Facebook news feed and strictly focus on the task at hand.

For instance, the time it took you to look through Jessica’s photo album from her recent vacation to Jamaica, or getting sucked into Joey’s latest upload of Cute Cats Video Madness, you could have probably gained 5 new Pinterest followers, received 3 more “likes” on your FB Page, and landed a new opportunity to guest post.

I know we all fall into the Social Media trap… but trust me, when you are dedicating precious time to you Facebook Groups for Blogger, FOCUS!

9. Be attentive

Sometimes, especially in larger groups, some questions go unanswered.

Be the first one to reach out and help solve a problem.

People really appreciate it when someone takes the time to help them out. Especially, when you were either the first person, or better yet, the ONLY person to do so.

I have gotten a lot of subscribers and visitors to my blog just for being attentive.

10. Pay close attention!

Pay attention! Your next product idea might come from your groups!

Say whaaaaat?!

Yes indeed my friend.

Pay close attention to what others are asking in your groups, what their challenges are, and what they will like to learn more about.

Those ideas can easily become the basis for your new product. Nothing sells more than products that solve problems and answer questions.

Same applies for creating new and engaging content.

Take notice of what those people within your niche have questions about and need help with.

Then create cornerstone content from your findings.

Strategies to Implement in Facebook Groups for Bloggers

11. Perform a group search

This is a great strategy to use if you want to find out something in particular about a specific topic.

For instance, say that you are part of a “Yoga for Moms” Facebook Group.

Your niche is Health and Fitness for Moms and you are looking write a post on addressing questions that many moms have about Yoga.

To get your desired results, you can either post your inquiry on the group’s main thread OR you can perform a search within that particular group.

Carefully analyze the search results and use other members questions and answers to formulate your post.

12. Take advantage of Promo days

Facebook Groups for bloggers are full of opportunities to promote your content and products.

Most Facebook Groups for bloggers run daily promo threads that you can use to promote and grow your blog.

I know it can become quite overwhelming to keep track of all the promo days and special threads within each of group you are part of.

Especially, when you are part of more than 10 Facebook Groups for bloggers.

It is for that reason that I created a free 11 page step-by-step tutorial on how I manage Facebook Groups in less than 20 minutes a day.

In addition to the tutorial, you will also be able to download a free Weekly Printable Planner with full instructions to help you stay on track and organized.

This strategy will significantly improve time management, productivity, and ultimately engagement and blog traffic!

13. Optimize your personal Facebook account

Once you get to interact in these Facebook Groups, people are going to eventually want to know more about you and your blog/business.

Particularly, if you have proven to be helpful and attentive.

At that point, many of your group members might click on your profile name to learn more about you.

Unfortunately, your profile picture won’t take them to Facebook’s Business Page. Instead, it will take them to your personal account.

If you don’t have any links or information in your personal Facebook account or if it’s private, those people looking to know more about you will hit a dead-end.

Therefore, it is wise to optimize your Facebook’s personal account’s profile by including additional information about you, your blog, and points of contact.

Such as:

• Your tittle (blogger, health coach, etc.)
• Products you sell
• Link to your blog/website
• Link to your store
• Link to you Facebook Business Page
• Links to your other social media handles

14. Create a Facebook Business Page

Creating a Facebook Business Page it is also a great practice when it comes to growing your blog and business.

A Facebook Page simply provides a designated space within your existing personal profile, exclusively for your blog/business.

Creating a Facebook Business page is free. However, you cannot create a Facebook Business page without having a personal page.

It comes with built-in analytics and insights.

Facebook insights allow you to keep track of your engagement and provide you with information about your page’s performance.

Other advantages of having a Facebook business page are your ability to pay for boosted posts and Facebook ads.

15. Create a swipe copy list of your top posts

Remember, you will be promoting your content often.

So, create a spreadsheet or swipe a copy document. Include your post links with a short description or summary of your content.

Because I use Facebook on my iPhone 90% of time, I keep my swipe file in the Notes section of my iPhone.

That way, whenever I come across a promo thread or someone who can benefit from one of my articles, I just simply copy and paste the link.

Remember to also include a thoughtful and helpful response to go along with the link.

Having this information handy improves your time efficiency tremendously.

16. Save relevant Facebook posts

Often times I find myself scrolling through my Facebook Groups and coming across information that it is worth saving.

Here are the main 2 reasons I save a Facebook Group post:

1. Because the content is useful to me and I can come back to it at a later time to read in more detail
2. OR… If a group member is asking for help on a topic I am currently working on.

Saving the post allows me to come back to that particular thread and offer help by linking to my recently published post on that particular topic.

This strategy helps my fresh content get some clicks and gain momentum.

17. Use people’s names when replying to queries

This small detail might seem insignificant and straight up common sense. But, you have no idea the amount of people who skip this simple rule.

Addressing someone by their name gives the sense of personalization and attention to detail.

By using the person’s name on your reply, gives the impression to that person or (anyone reading your reply) that you have taken the time to answer and are invested in helping them solve the problem.

Creating that kind of trust within your Facebook Groups is incredibly important when building a good reputation and rapport.

18. Create your own Facebook Group

Last but not least in making the best out Facebook Groups, is creating your own Facebook Group.

It is free and easy to create your own Facebook Group and it gives you the freedom to set your own rules and regulations.

Building your own following and audience with your own Facebook Group will help you grow your blog by increasing your reach and revenue.

However, it isn’t an overnight thing and it isn’t an easy task. Having and managing a successful Facebook Group requires a LOT of dedication and consistency.

So make sure you are prepared for that venture before you jump in.
