Facebook is the most used platform for bloggers or businesses to promote. But with a recent change in Facebook algorithm it is becoming very difficult to reach to targeted audience with organic posting.
Many businesses and bloggers have tried to connect with lots of Facebook groups and started promoting their website links. But the problem with this approach is – admins of most of the Facebook groups are moderating each post before it was posted. If the posting is done very frequently and are trying to spam the group, then they might be blocked by admins.
So what is the best solution?
The best solution I would recommend is to create your own Facebook group.
There a difference between a Facebook page and a group.
Facebook page is more like a personal profile for businesses, celebrities and organizations. Where Facebook group is a place of like minded community.
The major advantage with Facebook groups is all the people who have joined in that particular group will be able to see your post, which you have posted.

Tips to grow your Facebook group members
-

The first thing you should be doing to grow your Facebook group members is to link your existing Facebook page with the new Facebook group.
Here is the link from Facebook which will help you connect: https://www.facebook.com/help/742706805906818
Once you have connected the page with the group, you should invite everyone who like your Facebook page to join in your new Facebook group.
It has to be noted that, if you have a lot of people who liked your Facebook page, then you will not be able to invite everyone at a time to join your group. You will be able to invite only 50 people per day.
2. Advertise your Facebook page to increase likes
There are various kinds of campaigns you might run using Facebook ads manager like – lead generation campaigns, page likes campaigns, video views campaigns etc.
So you choose to run a page likes campaign and then initially increase your Facebook page likes. Once the likes are increased, you can then invite everyone to join your group.
3. Put FB group link in your blog menu
Have FB group link in your blog top menu, so that people who come to your blog can easily access it and join.
Since your blog and FB group are related to same topic it would be very helpful for you to get targeted audience to join your group.
4. Add FB group link in email signature
If your business is sending emails on frequent basis and if you feel like all your email list have not joined your FB group, then adding the FB group link in your email signature can be very helpful.
Everytime you send an email campaign will provide an opportunity to promote the group and make new member join in it.
