How to run a Facebook group
Purpose
Just like any other business out there, you must have a reason why you want to open a group. This is the first step you need to be aware of while starting a group, without this first consideration your group will collapse even before it starts.
Benefit
What do your members start to gain for joining your group, are you giving them important information they can’t find easily elsewhere? Every person out there wants to gain from something, so consider this properly.
Group name and description Optimisation
If you don’t want people to join only by invitation then this step is very important for you. People search for things on Facebook and can find your group only if you use the appropriate keyword. For example, your group is about making money online in America, you should name it “Make money online USA”. Remember to make your group a Closed group so any unwanted member won’t just fly into your group.
Join other Groups
When you join other groups related to your niche, you will learn many things from there and also implement the same thing on your own. To see these other groups, a simple Facebook search can give you great results on groups you can join.
Consistency
