How to set up a Facebook Group page
In this post I wanted to post a quick video tutorial on setting up a Facebook Group page. I found this video on YouTube and thought it did a nice job of covering the basics. Since I was setting up a group page myself I thought it might be helpful to share with others. For most people the setting up of a Facebook group page is a task that doesn’t require much skill. However, I find that I over look things at times and I usually catch something from watching someone else do a task they have done enough to want to record a video about.
Depending on the purpose of the group you are setting up, it is a good idea to spend some time thinking through your reason for forming the group, to be sure the name and the setting you choose line up with that purpose.
Here are a few other guidelines I found to be helpful:
How to set up a Facebook Group page: guidelines for a successful group experience.
Use YOUR name and YOUR picture – Put YOUR name in the title and use a picture of yourself so that people can quickly and easily identify who you are and what your purpose is. You should always focus on people who have joined and those thinking about joining being able to quickly and easily recognize you.
Don’t allow SPAM in the group – Remove SPAM immediately. State clearly the rules of your group. The more the anti-SPAM rules are enforced the more that your group members will respect you and your advice to them. Members will appreciate the anti-SPAM rules and want to help keep the group free of spammy links and comments and remove them As Soon As Possible.
In your group description create a Call To Action to join your Facebook group and tell them where they can do that. Each piece of content you create needs to lead people to the next step, have a Call To Action.
Conversation!
No one cares about groups that are just a bunch of people posting links to their blog posts or other websites all day. They are looking for some value, like minded people willing to share their knowledge and experience with others in the group.
Below are a few other tips about how to set up a Facebook group page and ensure it’s success!
Start A Powerful Conversation
When someone posts their blog leave a comment that sparks the conversation. Ask Questions –
(Example: Why did you create particular this post? What challenges did you face? What advice do you have for someone else that might want to do what you have done?)
Stay in touch!
Log in often, give positive feedback, ask follow up questions, ask others to leave their views and insights, ask others to Like the comment if they agree.
Encourage your members to invite others that they feel will add value to the group!
If your members know others that have similar interest or experience ask them to invite them into the group.
