Tired of spending precious time on your Facebook page when only a handful of people ever get to see what you've posted?

(Course updated November 2017)

Over the last few years it's become a huge challenge for a small business to get their Facebook page posts seen by the people who have liked their page.

One solution is to pay for Facebook advertising, but many small business owners don't...

- Have the skills to do that effectively, or

- The time to learn how to do it right, or

- The budget to outsource it to a consultant.

And even if they can do one of those things, they want to keep their ad budget as low as they possibly can. And who can blame them?

If you're nodding your head in agreement, you'll want to seriously consider using Facebook groups for marketing. Here's why:

- Posts in Facebook group posts are far more likely to appear in member's feeds compared to posts on a Facebook page.

- If you do it right, you can use a Facebook group to build trust, grow relationships and position yourself as the go-to expert.

- You're not just promoting a product, you're building a community of fans who will tell each other how great your product or service is and invite their friends too.

But it's not as easy as it sounds. As an administrator of several Facebook groups for small business owners, I know first-hand how many of them go about their marketing in precisely the wrong way.

Far from bringing in new clients and sales from Facebook groups, they annoy people, risk having their Facebook account closed for engaging in commercial activity where it isn't allowed or simply waste their marketing efforts on techniques that don't work.

Take this course and I'll show you how to use Facebook groups for marketing the right way, including:

- What to post and how to interact in other people's Facebook groups to benefit your business

- How to design and set up your own Facebook group so that it leads to new clients and sales

- How to quickly and easily create content for your own group so that you delight your existing members and attract new ones

- How to be the group member and the group administrator that everyone loves

- How to set up your Facebook group, profile and pages so that you can build a mailing list from your activity in groups

Taught by social media marketing trainer Helen Lindop, this is a practical course with action steps throughout. If you follow the steps you'll have your own Facebook group set up and running by the end of the course.

Join this course now and your business won't be invisible on Facebook any more!

I originally took this course so that I would have the skill set to offer to become an admin for those online businesses that may need my services. I came into the course knowing that I needed to learn of course but I learned so much about what I needed to do to refresh my own Facebook page. This course was straight to the point and very helpful !!

Yes, it is a perfect match and has also covered very helpful details regarding my FB page. I've done some editing from the course's suggestions.

Your tutorials are easy to follow and implement, but when I looked up your Facebook page, many things are outdated/don't look the same.

Although I have a Facebook profile and page, I have learned a lot already and only just started the course!

This course offers a good content of the benefits of having a Facebook group and Helen's teaching style makes it easy to follow along. I especially liked the info around events for Facebook groups as well as setting up my profile. I got a lot out of that section as well. Yvette

This course is a great introduction and explanation of how you can use the massive reach of Facebook to build leads for your business using the little-known but very powerful business-building asset that is Facebook Groups. The instructor shows you in very clear and simple terms how you can leverage your own Facebook Group(s) to generate business leads, build customer relationships and loyalty, and grow your very valuable (and really, essential) customer email list. The course is well organized and very professionally done. The instructor, Helen Lindop, is obviously a very experienced teacher and course designer as this course is one of the best I have taken on Udemy or anywhere else. This course is highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn how to use Facebook Groups to market and grow their business.

Well, I really enjoyed this course very much. It is very informative and easy to follow. I have been using facebook for a few years now, however, I was not aware I could use group as part of my marketing strategy. Helen, explained everything from setting up your group, to how to find members, the type of content to post in order to boost interaction. I now feel confident to set up my group...can't wait. I would definitely recommend this course 100%. Thank you Helen, a fab course :-)

This is the first Udemy course that I've got all the way to the end of which is a compliment in itself! Although I knew how the Facebook groups functionality worked I wanted some ideas on using groups for marketing and this course delivered that. It takes you step-by-step through right from the things you need to have in place before you set up your group, to planning your group and the practicalities of setting it up and running it. Helen, the course presenter, is very easy to listen to and the visual presentation was very good too. Finally, the course was well-structured so you always knew where you were in the process and the main learning points of each section.

I already know a lot about FB, both from other courses and from a lot of experience researching online and trying out what I read in articles. This course brought a lot of it together in an organized way, while also teaching me some new things that filled in gaps I didn't know I had. (We never know what we don't know, do we? That's the problem with self-directed research as a learning method.) I recommend this course to any small business owner who wants to use FB for free marketing.

This course is brilliant for explaining the difference between pages and groups but also how they can work together. I like Helen's delivery. She comes across as knowing what she is talking about - an expert in this topic. Very easy to listen to. For me it was good to know what I'm doing right with some additional tips. Loved it!!

Helen is an expert trainer *and* a social media expert. She uses the combination of both these skills and knowledge to really explain and share all you need to know on "How to Use Facebook groups for marketing". There is a place for Facebook ads, but I see time and time again micro-business owners spending money on the wrongs things, or maybe on the right things but at the wrong time etc! Information of this calibre is hard to find; Helen is an expert and a very generous one too! Mailing lists, lead magnets this is like a mini degree in Facebook marketing. Excellent!
