What is a Facebook page?

  • Start Live videos anyone on Facebook can watch

You can engage and communicate with your members better in a Facebook group.

Facebook Group, or Facebook Page?

Having said that, so which shall you choose?

Truth be told, it’s not an either-or situation. For your business to grow, you need both methods.

Why?

Think of it this way, 

The Facebook page about the service you provide, your brand, or your blog allows you the exposure to a large number of people.

It is everything you need to reach your target audience.

On your Facebook page, you can keep up with the insights, start live videos, and run ads.

Besides, whenever someone searches for your page on google, they can easily find you.

While The Facebook group,

Is the community you build for yourself. 

  • engage with your audience and befriend them 
  • educate them through microblogs about the topic
  • Ask for their feedback about your services

It’s not a Facebook page or Facebook Group, but it’s a Facebook page and Facebook group.

Tips for Facebook marketing:

What is the best strategy to follow to see your business thrive?

Step number one: 

Commit to the idea that Facebook is going to be a business building strategy for your business. 

Grasp the will to give 110% to your Facebook page or Facebook group.

Step number two:

Congruent with your messaging and your audience. 

In your Facebook group, share material that’s relatable to your niche.

Don’t share just anything to get your group members to engage.

Everything you post on the Facebook page or Facebook group should work to deliver your message. 

For example, your group posts should be about hair, not cars, if you’re selling a hair product.


“Your Facebook group is not a popularity contest, be congruent with everything you through your page and group.’’

Step three: 

“Use your Facebook page with your Facebook group.”

You need to move people from your page to your group because, as we said, the engagement in the Facebook group is much higher than on the page.

Never forget the call to action to join your group in your Facebook page posts.

In a nutshell, 

You can’t run before you walk, create a Facebook page first, then move your audience from the Facebook page to your group.


Your Facebook page will define your brand or service and help position you as the authority. 

Still, a Facebook group is where you build your community. 

In your Facebook group or Facebook page, educate your audience, engage with them, and so that they can trust you.

Cultivating a fun interacting community is excellent, but don’t lose sight of your goal, which is to get your business to grow.

Don’t lose sight of that.
