Facebook Group Tips to Grow your Network Marketing Business

1. Facebook Group Tips to Grow your Network Marketing Business Though our reasons for being on Facebook and the ways we use it have evolved throughout the years, we never actually considered it for its networking purposes until a few years ago. Sure, we were part of a Facebook Group or a hundred (right?!) but we never harnessed the power. Until we did … And then? Well, game changer. Choosing the Right Facebook Group to be part of The idea of community, is absolutely dependent on the group as we understand it. If you want some answers to burning questions about birthing classes in the United States, you probably aren’t in search of the camaraderie and bonding that are common to the California Surfers crew. Additionally, if you are a network marketer joining a direct sales (for sales) Facebook Group, you can imagine why you probably aren’t gaining the right traction from your recruiting style posts. And yet, so many people belong to hundreds of groups. Ones, they don’t even remember joining. So, let’s be honest — how helpful are those ones? A Facebook Group is one of the best places on Facebook to build lasting relationships. Because, when people gather around a common interest, it creates amazing opportunities to share status updates, photos, connections and more. In network marketing, we know that relationships are the blood, sweat and tears of our business. We can choose who to work with (and who not to), we have options on who we can learn from (and not), and more importantly — we meet and work with some of the most amazing humans ever. And yet, this is continuously lost throughout the process. Probably, the same way the power in a Facebook Group can get lost because you are too caught up in selling, or recruiting, or frankly, throwing your business up all over everyone! (sorry, sort of). The tips we want to share today, are specific to how to use existing Facebook groups to grow your business. In future, we will focus a post on how to create, build and grow a Facebook Group community. Tips to Grow your Business using Facebook Groups Let’s start with the basics. In our opinion, spend some time removing yourself from the hundreds of groups you are in. Seriously, you haven’t looked at them for months — or more. We know this probably will feel like an impossible task so do yourself a favor and start with deleting 10-15 a day. This isn’t meant to end up taking up more of your time, so in moderation is fine, just stay consisted at it. What this will do, is make sure that the groups that will be of benefit to you (and your business) you won’t miss posts, you will have an opportunity to be consistently active in them, etc. Tip #1 How to Find the Right Groups to Join When you are logged into your Facebook Profile, in the left hand column there is a menu option that says ‘Groups’, select that. Here is where the Groups you have already joined, exist. However, to the top of the page (and as shown in the image below) is a tab at the top that reads ‘Discover’. Select that. As you can see, based on our browsing activity, interactions, pages liked, etc., Facebook has created several categories that ‘fit’ my behaviors. This is a great place to start. Under this list are several suggestions of groups to join. General rule of thumb, give the group a scroll does this look like somewhere you…
