Using FB groups for marketing
Hi,
What’s your strategy to marketing your product or service in Facebook groups with intensive moderation ?
I don’t want to get banned with my personal profile.
Any other techniques instead of createing fake FB account ?
Thanks.
Offer something of value and be respectful
I also always put something to the extent of "don't want to break any rules, so if this post is frowned upon please delete!"
People in groups i am targeting are usally complaining because its hard for them to find free slots to apply for certain administrative procedure.
What i am doing is to occasionally comment on those posts to tell them about my service that helps get SMS notification exactly at slot openings.
I am feeling missing many potential customers because of this fear of getting banned.
I just participate and don't shill... if there's a valid reason to bring up my product I do so.... I think people appreciate the honest voice and I never really have had problems with people thinking I'm a spammer.
You can create a "writing persona" and write helpful articles on medium.com. Make sure these articles don't completely push and sell your specific service. Make sure it does push them towards your service, but not a hard sell otherwise moderators will catch on. Then go into these groups as your normal self and post the article saying "pretty solid article I read today about *******" Good read!
Here's my example:
My company is Social Shark & Social Auto Likes. So I join a bunch of instagram marketing groups, respond to a bunch of people's posts, make it look like I'm there to help people, which in reality I do.
Then a day or week later I drop an article on medium (That I wrote) titled "10 Powerful Instagram Tools to Increase Your Following in 2019" saying it's a great read. What they don't know is the first and 3rd tool are tools I own and in reality it's an article I wrote.
Just one way to try out.
I have done this as well. Works great!
Post with your original account and only post content related to the group. Be interacting with others on the group, comment on other's content as well.
