Facebook Groups for Business đ (27 Hacks and Tips)
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 28. 01. 2018
- So you finally started to focus on Facebook Groups for your business. Great! In this video, I'm going to share 27 different tips and hacks so that you can master Facebook marketing within your groups.
We'll cover three specific areas:
1. Growing your group (0:48)
2. Increasing engagement within your community (3:09)
3. How to use your Facebook group as a tool within your business (11:49)
You'll learn things such as how to get people to automatically join your group, how to utilize your group to build your email list, and even how to get the members of your group to tell you exactly what they'd want to pay for.
I've personally built several Groups on Facebook, and they're an extremely powerful asset that you can have within your overall business. More than business and money, however, it's a great way to really connect with your target audience and true fans, and a platform to test new ideas, pre-sell your upcoming products, and survey your target market so that you can remove the guesswork when it comes to what actions you need to take next.

Pat, you're a generous genius! Just put a few of these into place today...and surprise, surprise...they work! ;) Thank you!
That's what I'm talking about! Nice!
@@patflynn sir how can i find all posts of a month in a facebook group
Holy cow, Pat! So much information! I'm going to have to come back to this video a few more times. I hadn't even considered starting a FB group until you went through this list. I seriously SOL (snorted out loud) when Katniss volunteered. My biggest struggle right now is choosing which idea, which social media, etc to focus on right now. There are so many things I could be doing, that I get overwhelmed with information and feel like I'm trying to run in a million directions. Thanks for all you do!
Hoping this video helps you on your journey to build a thriving Facebook Group for your online business. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Do you like this style of video?
Pat Flynn I really liked the style of the video. And the tip 6 about featuring an inside person was great. Never heard that before and seems super helpful.
Yes, love this style video - so many actionable tips ~ gets right to the point. Perfect!
Loved the style. Fast-paced, and yet easy to follow, and the insertion of the "break" videos was well-timed and entertaining. I especially liked the one from The Circle (still mulling over that movie). :-)
I like the style of the video a lot. It was energetic and fun.
Loved it. To the point and that you showed us how it looks on screen with REAL actionable tips that work. Also loved the giphs in between at the beginning. Made me laugh! humour helps us learn!
What's nice about an exhaustive list like this one is that you're almost guaranteed to find actionable tactics you haven't tried along with a confidence boost when you hear strategies you're already executing. Thanks again, Pat!
CZcams suggested this video and you really dished out the tips! Thanks Pat!!
Sidenote: I joined Power Up Podcasting about 4 months ago and Iâm thrilled to have launched my podcast! Thank you so much for making that course!!
Back to this video...
As a Community Strategist I loved the tactics that you shared to help create a positive experience for your members on FB. And I love how you showed screenshots as well. Not to mention your bloopers...Hilarious!
One thing that not many people seem to talk about though is when and IF a free Facebook group is actually a good fit for your business in the first place.
Iâd love to know your perspective on this Pat.
Pulling the trigger on a community can seem like a simple decision but many people donât fully understand the amount of time and energy they require on a weekly and even daily basis.
For many entrepreneurs (especially those starting their business on the side) their limited time and energy is better spent growing their email list with stackable traffic sources (like guest posts, podcast interviews etc).
I discussed this in a recent guest post I wrote for GrowthLab.com and the #1 response in the comments was relief at having permission NOT to create a free group (at least yet). Apparently a lot of new entrepreneurs worry about this.
If anyone is on the fence for creating a free group, you can check out the article here: growthlab.com/a-free-facebook-group-isnt-the-magic-bullet-you-think-it-is/
Not only do I use a Jurassic Park metaphor to make my point (Jeff Goldbloom in daâhouse)...I made my own GIFs for the occasion. True story. ;)
Looking forward to seeing more of your videos Pat! I hit the bell!!! Ding!
Diana Tower your site is great, Iâve pinned the post on this topic!
Very timely, Pat - and very helpful. You rock!
Just what I needed ...and more!! Thanks for always over delivering Pat!!
Hi Pat! Just wanted to let you how much I like your CZcams channel. I was already listening to your Smart Passive Income Podcast for a while and was very surprised to see that your CZcams channels covers completely different areas and how nice it is to get inspired by you not only via audio but also via video. Really cool, please keep going! đđŒ
First video Iâve watched! Enjoyed it and have subscribed! Good job!
Thanks Pat! Great tips and I love the way you break it down. I specifically like how you emphasise the importance of getting to understand what your audience wants/needs
Awesome video as always Pat! I'm hooked on you and your brand ! You are the most helpful creator I have ever come across . Again thanks!
Patt, I love these videos and your âserve firstâ attitude it comes across in all your content.
I donât know if itâs a struggle, but definitely excited. Iâm getting ready to launch a website/blog about starting and running a carpentry business. Setting myself apart and building a large enough following to be able to afford to devote real time too is going to be my biggest struggle.
Your videos are really helping dial in my niche and serve my audience well
Love, love, love your video. I'm new to all this and a lot went over my head, but snippets really made sense. Grateful I can review when ready for that step. Thanks again, you are amazing!
What a fantastic, fun, inspirational, and thoroughly informative video, Pat!... So much wonderful info in it that I will see your video more than once, and implement from as much as I need in each stage. Especially now when I'm starting from scratch to build an email list :D
Your background keeps getting better and better. Love the wood look. Ive been thinking about starting a Facebook group. This video came at a good time. Thanks Pat!
Nice, I love to hear that Nick (about you creating a group) - Thanks for the compliment on the background, too!
Good stuff, Pat. I'll probably come back to this several times when I feel like I'm low on ideas for my group. I have a podcast where I answer mental health questions and I decided to make a facebook exclusive episode, where I take questions specifically from the group rather than the podcast audience in general. I've gotten a lot of responses so far!
very quick, intelligent and succinct. Wish I could think and talk as quickly as you Pat!
WOW so many actionable tips. Thanks so much Pat. This is exactly what I currently needed to help many of my client's Facebook groups. You are #TotallyAwesome.
Wonderful Dade, that's great to hear!
This is great. Growing my Facebook community is a big goal for me for 2018. I have found it a great way to have real interactions with the people following my work and has been a great source of ideas and inspiration. I look forward to integrating a bunch of these ideas that I had not thought of yet. Cheers & Thanks Pat & the whole SPI team!
Amazing description, it's everything I've ever wanted from a video description. I'm almost tearing up :')
Great video Pat! Very practical tips and tricks!
Salute Pat! You bout that life. Lots of value and you'd probably save a few people from unnecessary debt if they started following you and the trail you've left first
I'm getting ready to start a Facebook group and you've given me some great ideas and helps. Thank you so much.
Thank you once again! I'm in the process of starting a new business and all those tips will save me a lot of time. You're great as always!
I've watched so much videos the last days from you. you cram so much valuable info in them. awesome, and I really don't use "awesome" at all. really great work, thank you :-)
This video is gold for me right now! Thanks again Pat for sharing :)
Awesome Video. Thanks for taking your time and energy to share it with us. It is greatly appreciated.
This is brilliant! Thank you for sharing Pat.
Thanks. The tip I can see using immediately is adding my Facebook group link to email. I also didnât know that there was a way to check who post and or contributes the most in a group. Lots of good info shared.
Cheers.
So many great tips. Thanks, Pat!
Thanks Sue! I appreciate you!
Great information Pat! I don't have a group yet, I was just looking around for information... I'm so glad I found you, I'll be creating my group ASAP after your training, thanks!
Cool! so the bottom line is constant engagement with your group, and promote your group.
Love this! Thanks for all your hard work Pat!
Thanks Haley, all the best to you!
Wow! Great tips as always Pat! Thanks for spending so much time explaining all these things so clearly. Probably the biggest struggle for me lately is really blocking out all the distractions and getting things done that will move me forward. There's so many shiny objects that catch my attention it's hard to stick to one thing and finish it.
Definitely right in saying it's tough to just stick with one thing. I think that's what differentiates those who win and those who don't.
Great video as always Pat! I just discovered your videos via CZcams feed and have jumping from one video to the next đ. Question: should I change from Facebook Page to Facebook Group to engage and grow my community? Seems that Group has more features đ
Pat, thanks very much. This is an awesomely amazing video. Very valuable to me.
You are awesome - thank you so much Pat, I found so much useful info here :)
The outtakes. Love it!
Thanks for all you do, Pat!
Some great tips, Pat! Also great style of video.
What am I struggling with: ghostwriting about your topics and I need to get my head around the basics, so thank you! You are so easy to listen to and make my writing a lot more knowledgeable!
Starting my first FB group today, so glad I run into your video. Great tips.
Thank you so much Pat. Really great info. You answered all my questions and then some!
Hi Pat. Thanks for this helpful video. I have a WordPress Facebook group with more than 14k subscribers and sometimes itâs harder to manage and generate new ideas to keep the engagement. Those tips was pure gold.
Great video man! Great insight to closed facebook groups
Thank you Pat for the great info on Facebook Groups. I was getting ready to word on my Facebook Pages. Glad I caught this video and will do groups instead. I will be checking out your other info!!!
Great video. I'm struggling to get back into growing my business after other priorities have taken the time I previously devoted to that. This video has helped me refocus with some actionable tips, and inspired me to put some time on the calendar to get back to work. Thanks Pat! You're an inspiration and a great motivator.
Hey Pat, Thanks for this bro, exactly what I was looking for!
Nice job. Your communities are some of the best places, to include your Book writing community as well.
Dave, good to see you here responding to a Pat Flynn video. I'm loving the online community that I've labeled in my files as "Business Builders" all connecting and supporting each other, a model of abundance vs. competition. So cool and inspiring.
That sounds great. yeah, Pat is one of the best and his communities are well run. I've been a part of his Book community every since it was created - way too many years ago...haha.
Thank you so much for sharing this Pat! Amazing info!!
Thanks Pat loved the video keep up the good work!
This was an amazing video. Thanks Pat!
Great video! Thanks, Pat!
Some great tips Pat! Community is the core of any movement!
This was so great! Thank you Pat :)
No20 - I'm featured as one of your group top contributors! Martyna Tomaszewska, that's me! ;) I had no idea :D
Great video! Very helpful and informative, thanks Pat!
My facebook group set up. Thanks Pat Sakhmet
Nice Pat! Enjoying your CZcams strategies. đđ»đ„đđ»
I'm just entering the FB Group game and learning how to use it to have fun with my direct sales community. I'm excited about your "hacks" and I can see myself using many right away. I'm looking forward to learning more.
Great video! Thank you for sharing all of this great information. I'm stoked to start implementing some of your tips into how I manage my FB Group.
You got my attention Pat! Thanks!
Wonderful video Pat, learned a lot. đ
Great video Pat - nice nice nice - great content as always!
As usual your information is a goldmine for me, cheers Pat
Pat knows what he is saying. I have increased my CZcams views and revenue using facebook groups.
Had to pause while I go make myself a bowl of chili. I know this is going to be good.
Hi where r u from?
Lmao
I love chili
I'm learning how to put together a Facebook group to help promote Airport Transfers but not directly about them but on more tangential subjects such as airport experiences. Your Video is very useful but I will have to go through it several times as this is something of a new experience for me being 77 years old!
Pat, Great video. I'm going to have to watch this one about 27 more times to take it all in. I guess I never knew about the bell next to the subscribe button, so thanks for mentioning that so now I'll get notified about all of your new videos.
Thanks Cheryl! Thanks for subscribing and choosing to get notified. It means a lot!
Simply Awesome !! Thanks and cheers.
Love your Content Pat!
Great stuff, but the best part is the T-Shirt! I think I'm living that dream
Excellent Video, great content. Thanks!
This is an incredible video, thank you for the insight!
I love how you spent a majority of the video about building a genuine group first and then going to serve them after. đȘđœđȘđœđȘđœ
Thanks Jimmy, I appreciate that!
Excellent Info!!! This answered so many questions I had for a group I want to start. thanks!
Hey Pat - Great content - step by step - solid - THX
Thanks for your awesome insights. It was very clear and concise. It's a go for me right now. Thanks a million
Hi Pat. Great video, thank you. Between you, Hal Elrod, JLD and Chris Ducker I finally feel like anything is possible. Love your tips on Facebook groups, many of which, in true Pat Flynn style, are unique. Thanks again. "Hey, Katniss..." outtakes - brilliant :)
Great video. Very informative. I subscribed.
Awesome dude! THANK YOU!
This was great! I'll be implementing these tips when I set up my FB group for aspiring writers in my community!
This video is so dope! It helped me so much.
Great video, Pat! Love the tone of them ,super fun! May I ask, how do you download the videos from other scenes/shows(like the Seinfeld video for instance). Do you use an app? Thanks Pat!
Such great value!! As always! Thanks Pat!
My current struggle is finding an inexpensive way to host a website and an easy platform to build it on. I donât want to spend a lot of time on building the site. I need a turn key option that is bootstrap worthy.
Thank you Pat, this was very helpful!
So glad! đđŒ
Great timing for this! Thanks!
Thanks. Great tips. The tip that I can see using immediately is attaching it to an email signature. Cheers.
The Video is Rich with facebook group knowledge and Pat knows it well. Highly recommended.
Love it Pat! Thank you
This is terrific! Thanks Pat!
Nice, thank you!
This is wonderful stuff, Pat. I've been thinking about doing this and now I can follow your tutorial. My problems are almost always inner stuff like being consistent, staying focused, and being courageous about increasing visibility. And of course, frustration with technology!
That's most of our problems, but it's those who conquer them who find success on the other side. You can do it!
Massive value, thanks!
Awesome video! Thank you so much!
Loving the editing on this one!
Awesome video, shared with my cousin who started a Facebook group which took off. I was just talking with him and recorded a video about ways he could build a business around a Facebook group.
Love this especially as I prepare to launch my community đ€đŸ
Awesome Tips! Thanks Pat!
