Get Social! 12 Facebook Groups For Entrepreneurs

How would you like to network with your peers, drive traffic to your site, AND have fun all at the same time? Well, you can accomplish that and more with Facebook groups!

I learned about Facebook groups about a year ago. There are groups for just about anything, personal or business related: Shopify tips/tricks, blogging engagement, Amazon affiliates, surveys, favorite recipes, local garage sales, etc.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT FACEBOOK GROUPS

I love that I get to engage with fellow business owners. You get the opportunity to learn so much!

Since being a regular, active member of Facebook groups, I have seen tremendous traffic growth on my blog, Drink Coffee & Prosper. I also learned about the latest news coming to Pinterest, Instagram algorithm updates, the latest giveaways happening, and more.

HOW I USE FACEBOOK GROUPS

I use Facebook groups mainly for the social sharing. As a part of my daily routine, I visit Facebook and run through my groups to participate in as many engagement threads as I can. These threads include things like:

• Stumbleupon sharing
• Facebook like for like
• Facebook comment for comment
• Blog post comment for comment

This will keep you busy for at least an hour. In order to get a share or follow, you must share or follow others. It benefits you in two ways:

1. Sharing other members’ posts: This allows you to be ACTIVE and activity is usually rewarded by social networks with more shares of you own content.
2. You get your posts/social networks shared: You get your info shared with a larger audience which means more exposure.

I’ve also joined giveaways, learned about the latest in social media world, read inspiring stories, learned many tips and tricks about all sorts of things, and more! You will LOVE this roundup of Facebook groups I put together.
