Facebook Groups related to blogging potentially draw quality traffic, customers and clients to your blog.
But knowing when to leave groups maximizes your traffic and income potential.
I left a few more recently and wish to share group warning signs with you.
Quality groups prove to be great meeting places for like-minded people. Engaged members who ask questions, share answers and bond genuinely form loyal blogging communities.
Join groups within your blogging niche. Publish detailed updates to solve specific problems related to that niche. Ask questions. Share detailed answers. Organically draw people to your blog based on the quality, depth and authenticity of your group updates, whether status shares or genuine comments published in response to member status updates.
Be patient and persistent in sharing detailed content to highly-targeted groups. Post text updates, videos and blog posts to groups. Broadcast live as well here and there to create a strong footprint. Add a personal touch to your presence to stand out from the crowd. People will engage you and visit your blog eventually. Being patient and persistent gives you the appearance of being all over the place in targeted groups.
For example, I intend to be all over blogging tips themed groups on Facebook by showing up to share in-depth content daily and to answer blogger questions. Being helpful slowly but surely gives me greater exposure and boosts Blogging From Paradise traffic.
Dig a little bit. Quality blog groups are out there. Test the waters. Observe group moderator habits. Check for highly-engaged posts. See if members ask questions, share authentic answers and behave in genuine fashion.
Pro blogger tip; one easy way to find high quality groups is to ask if members need help, via a status update. Engaged groups produce members who reply with comments. Members who need help potentially serve as the perfect candidates to visit your blog. Some become loyal readers, customers and clients.
Leave Low Quality to Make Room for High Quality
Exiting low quality groups gives you time and energy to focus on the winners.
Full time bloggers – and aspiring full-timers – blog efficiently. Speak only to targeted, engaged readers who deeply desire your blog posts. Let go everyone else to remain efficient.
Spot these red flags to exit stage left.
1: Spot Link Free for All’s
Pay close attention to groups masquerading as link free for all’s.
If members post links and run without engaging, asking questions, sharing answers or replying to Likes and/or comments, it is time to go.
Join only high quality groups consisting of moderators who do not allow link spam. Engage in highly targeted spots covering only your blogging niche.
For example, one group that I left included links from a wide range of niches, as of late. Non-targeted groups attract non-targeted members who care less about engaging, visiting blogs and following specific bloggers closely. Low quality traffic or non-existent traffic simply wants to participate in link orgies to try to get theirs before heading out of Dodge.
Pay close attention to each group you joined as far as the links posted to the wall. Do the links stick to one specific niche? Or do the links jump around between all different niches? Spotting a link sharing frenzy involving a dizzying array of niches signals your imminent exit. If one core, targeted user does not frequent the group and if the user does not align 100% with your niche, this is a low quality – or no quality – blog traffic source to leave behind. Let go low quality traffic sources to make room for high quality traffic sources.
Elite groups on Facebook produce high quality text and blog post updates frequently. Mods delete every low quality or off topic post immediately. Most mods publish thorough rules and regulations to prevent link free for all’s. Read these guidelines to join only the best groups.
2: High Quality Content Does Not Generate Engagement
I patiently spend time creating and publishing detailed, high quality:
- videos
- text updates
- Blogging From Paradise posts which I share to groups
on a daily basis.
Some generated zero:
- Likes
- comments
Spotting no engagement in certain groups suggested that members did not desire receiving high quality, blogging tips themed content. This is OK by me. I only want to share content for readers who want the content. If no resonance exists then we have no match. Blogging seems easier if you match things up like a puzzle. Blogging gets more difficult if you try to force a square peg into a round hole.
After spotting this red flag I left these groups. If no one wants my in-depth content then I have no potential Blogging From Paradise readers from within these groups. I spend my day targeting Blogging From Paradise readers and do nothing else.
Exit groups non-resonant with your highly-detailed, quality content.
Move on to groups appreciative of thorough content to drive quality traffic from these groups.
I note each:
- Like
- Love
- comment
in response to thorough updates I publish to groups.
Some group members Message me to continue the discussion privately. Heed this positive sign to spot winning groups. Keep working these groups to be truly helpful. Being truly helpful in these groups drives organic traffic to your blog.
3: Various Restrictions Arise
Some groups restricted my ability to publish detailed, thorough videos and Reels.
I knew that it was time to go after seeing each restriction.
Again guys; I have no issues with the desires of moderators. Everyone uses groups for different reasons.
If group moderators wish to prevent members from publishing through, detailed, in-depth content, both parties are not a match.
Seamlessly move on to groups whose moderators want high quality content to accelerate your blog traffic and blogging income.
For example, some group moderators encourage me to publish quality content as much as possible. If mods deeply desire detailed, targeted content then you want to engage in these spots on a daily basis.
Connect with groups and mods who want what you have to offer.
Give all of your group attention and energy to these meeting spots.
Drive quality traffic and business through these engaged collections.
Conclusion
Facebook still boasts 5 billion users.
A chunk of these people turn to Facebook Groups to solve their problems.
Let go low quality groups to capitalize on high quality groups.
Be truly helpful.
Drive organic blog traffic and income through these communities.
