Facebook is one of the most powerful ways to reach thousands of people organically through Facebook Groups Posting.

I still remember when I worked as a Virtual Assistant at Choki, nonprofit organization based in US. We’re always finding ways to reach people organically since it is a nonprofit. It was crazy promoting about what we do from different social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and Email Marketing.

Facebook Groups are very interesting depending on the niche. In fact, I have 929 groups on Facebook from niches like Personal Development, Marketing, Jobs and Careers, Spirituality and other groups which members post random, fun, quotes, articles, promotions, etc. Sounds crazy, right?

But, how can Facebook Groups be a powerful tool to use for your business? Either you are promoting your brands, your services, or your products; you should add Facebook Group Posting in your Marketing Strategies. 

Here’s why you should use Facebook group posting to promote products or services: 

1. REACHING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN SPECIFIC NICHE.

I have around 200+ groups in Spirituality niche. I joined in those groups because Choki is about promoting higher consciousness, Buddhism, meditation, etc. The lowest members in 1 group that I have in my list is around 1,000 members and the highest members that I have in just another 1 group is around 150,000+ members.

In my other groups in Entertainment niche, we are 2 million members and counting. (I’m not an admin here).

Can you see how powerful a single post in just 1 group if it has thousands of members? Of course! They are targeted leads. Would they join in that niche if they weren’t interested?


2. YOU CAN REACH UP TO 100,000+ PEOPLE DAILY.

I have 929 groups on Facebook. Most of the groups I joined are 5,000+ members, 10,000+ members, 40,000+ members, and 100,000+ members but there are around 1,000+ members only. However, if you would add all of them, you already have millions of targeted leads, right? 

WARNING: YOU CAN’T JUST POST TO ALL OF YOUR GROUPS EVERYDAY. YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE BANNED OR BLOCKED TEMPORARILY OR WORST PERMANENTLY.

What are you going to do to avoid getting banned or blocked by Facebook? 

It’s better if you’re going to use your personal account to post on groups so that admins or other members won’t block you in the group and mark as spam. 

Here are the methods: 

• Join groups related to your niche ONLY.
• Join 30-50 groups per day with a minimum delay interval of 5 minutes for joining each group.
• Post on Groups related to your niche ONLY.
• Post on 30-50 groups per day with a minimum delay interval of 5 minutes each post.
• Rinse.
• Repeat.

Why you should have a delay for joining and posting on Facebook groups? My Facebook account was banned a lot of times and I had to email Facebook support to get back my account. Always keep your account safe! 

3. NETWORKING. 

Some admins will let you down by saying that your post isn’t allowed, etc. In this case, you must be friendly to admins. Add them on your Facebook friend’s list. Be their friends!

In this case, they will allow what you want to post but DO NOT BE TOO SALES-Y. It’s better if you post things that are valuable to the members and sales will follow.

You might also receive referrals through word of mouth which is still one of the most powerful marketing strategies of all time.

So, connect with them to gain and build trust for your business! 

4. MAKE IT EASIER TO REACH 100,000 PEOPLE DAILY.

From my #2 Post that you can reach 100,000 daily isn’t possible for a single account if you are posting to each group that has 100,000+ members. However, the tough part is that your niche might not have that huge number of members in the groups. 

So, here’s what you are going to do: 

• Create or Buy Profiles – if you’re going to post 50 groups daily in 1 account, you can reach more people if you have 10 Profiles. So, if you have 10 Profiles which can rotate post on different groups, you can share to 500 groups daily. 
• Message members in the group if you have to. (Just be personal and keep it short simple).
• Run a Contest and Post it in large groups. For ex. Like this post and get a chance to win a giveaway then share it on your timeline or tag your friends to win this giveaway, etc. In that case, you can reach more people beyond your groups.

CONCLUSION:

Persistence is the key! Many Online Marketers who promotes gadgets, gaming and even gambling site made $1,000-$5,000/month from their CPA and affiliate programs through Facebook Group Posting as their Marketing Strategy. So, if you have something to offer on your website, how much more you can make via Facebook Group Posting?
