In this episode we are dealing with a fundamental part of running your brand in the current climate and that is how to utilize a particular area of social media, namely Facebook Groups. Things have changed over the years across social media platforms and the current system and algorithm on Facebook has resulted in a downturn for the use of Pages due to lack of reach and natural growth. This has led many businesses to turn to groups as a way to build community, connection and ultimately revenue. We chat about about naming your Group, the ins and outs of running it, content selection, moderation and much more.
