How to use Facebook groups to grow your own audience and business

By Michele Elmas-Hardy

As Facebook continues to restrict Pages in the News Feed, more businesses are turning to Facebook Groups to connect.

I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say that you’re part of a Facebook group…

Am I right?

I think I probably am, because who isn’t in a Facebook group these days?!

They’re fast becoming one of the best ways to build relationships with like-minded people AND our target audience.

And people are starting to use them to grow their own audience and business, in fact, I know of quite a few people who have used Facebook groups to propel themselves to expert status and build an email list of thousands.

So as this is such a hot topic I was delighted to interview Lucy Good of Beanstalkmums who shares her personal story on how she RAPIDLY grew her own Facebook group to almost 6,000 members in just over 12months
