Tip 1: Switch Your Perspective From Facebook Pages to Facebook Groups
Facebook continues to change the way it shows content and what the company believes is high-quality content that you and your customers should see. And, it wasn’t long ago when making a Facebook page for your business was the right thing to do. But, times have changed, and the algorithm that Facebook uses to figure out what belongs in front of you has shifted away from pages and to relevant and engaging content. Which naturally leads us to jump into groups.

Let’s face it, Facebook groups and pages that don’t engage their audience wither and die. And, those groups, pages, and profiles that get the audience whipped into a frenzy are the magnets for time and attention. This craziness is called engagement, and Facebook loves engagement. So, as you’re building your online community, remember… if it bleeds it leads, and everyone wants to watch the traffic accident. All this means that a group, page or profile stacked with excitement, intrigue, and conflict becomes the online hangout. And, since Facebook is in the business of selling advertising, they like their users to have online hangouts.

If you’ve ever been camping or standing next to the water cooler at work, then you know how powerful storytelling can be. This power can (and should) be harnessed by you with your online community. Storytelling doesn’t have to be difficult. All you have to do is identify the goal that your hero has and all the obstacles in front of him or her before she gets to the finish line. Then, start talking about the step by step process your hero took to overcome the obstacles. And, finally, be sure to show a simple picture of life after defeating the challenge. Once you do this, your audience (read group members) will be begging to get the same skills and tools used by your hero and dive into the discussion!
