If you’re a community striving to grow your platform, you’ve probably already considered starting a Facebook Group.
Maybe other speakers and writers told you Facebook Groups are a great way to create community around your message. Maybe an agent said online groups are a great way to show publishers that you have enough adoring fans to support a book deal. Maybe you’re working on a bible study or devotion and want a private group of beta testers before it’s ready for prime time. Or maybe you just want a community — a gathering place of people with similar interests who want to hear more of what you have to say, and spend time with others who want to do the same.
Regardless of what has led you to consider starting a Facebook Group, here you are. You’re probably looking for a little guidance and maybe some advice. You’re in luck. Kathi Lipp and Michele Cushatt recently invited me over to the Communicator Academy podcast to offer listeners a basic primer on Facebook Groups.
In the episode, I share how planning for your group before it starts helps to create a culture and atmosphere that attracts your target audience. I also share my practical steps for launching a successful group. Finally, you’ll have the information and resources you need to start your Facebook Group with confidence.
