If you haven’t been utilizing Facebook Groups as a social media platform, your blog is suffering for it. Ohhhh reality hurts.
Facebook Groups are the backbone that many bloggers have built their empire on! As my second biggest traffic driver, just behind Pinterest, it’s not something that you can ignore.
All of these facebook groups are extremely active. What you put into Facebook Groups you will get back in the form of followers, traffic, and monetary increases. How? Because you’re interacting with other bloggers and they will share your content to their social media and explore your site along with your promotions.
Let’s dive in shall we? These groups will make an immediate impact on your blog or business, start joining asap.

Tips For Facebook Groups
- Smaller groups still have amazing potential! A big negative when dealing with a really popular board is that some posts may require “follow all” or “like all”. That’s great until 200 people respond…. which can turn into a huge obligation. You also risk drowning in all the comments. Join any group you see slight value in despite size.
- Vary your approach and see what provides the most bang for your buck in regards to time. One board might be more reciprocative of your content than another. If you see results foster that board first.
- Vary what time of the day you share content to Facebook. Test this out to see when people are most active on your boards.
- Share all aspects of your social media even if you aren’t active on it yet. In the future you could want to explore Instagram etc, even if you aren’t using it now.
- Be as active as possible on Group Boards within the guidelines. Administrator’s are free to set their own rules for their board. The blog administrators are there for you, if you’re not sure just ask.
- Administrators often times work hard to create daily topics, adhere to those. If you want to post your blog at random on a board, check to see if others are doing it too.
I highly suggest that you start your own Facebook Page and Group as soon as possible. Checking on my community is the highlight of my day, and owning your own community is inspiring and motivating.
Join as many of these groups as possible. Everyday, every group has a different topic you can interact with.
