Types of Facebook Groups
Facebook Group is a place where your audience, or people interested in specific topic, gather together and interact with each other.
Facebook provides three categories of groups you can make use of. They are:
Public Groups
This category is visible to everyone and can be easily found. Every Facebook user can join it.
Private Groups
Everyone can see this category in the search results. However, to be a member, you have to send a request which must be approved first. You can’t become a member automatically.
Hidden Groups
This category isn’t visible to everyone and cannot be found in search results. You can only join such a group when you get an invitation.
For social networking or marketing of your brand or organization, public Facebook groups are your best bet.
How To Create and Post To Facebook Groups
To create a Facebook group, you must first have a Facebook account. If you don’t already have an account, create one. Once you’ve set up your account, follow the steps below to create a Facebook group.
- Locate the menu at the top right corner of the Facebook homepage, and in the Create section, choose Group.
- Input a group name of your choice and enter it.
- Click on the privacy section. If you select the privacy option – public, private or hidden.
- Invite users to your Facebook group.
- To complete the process, click on Create.
If you want to post to a group on Facebook, you have to go to the group and locate the box beside your profile picture at the top part of the page. Input the content you want to share in the box and click Post.
Conclusion
It is no news that social media strategies aim to create and prolong a presence on social networks. Everyone, including public and private organizations, both large and small, International and national, work towards being seen by users and customers. Social networking is one sure way to attain this goal.
To reach many users and potential customers, posting to multiple groups on Facebook at once is effective. It also saves time. However, posting to multiple groups at once requires that you use an authorized third-party app.
Posting to multiple groups can only be done by a group admin. If you are not an admin and post to several groups, you will violate Facebook rules. We’re sure you don’t want to get your name in Facebook’s black book.
As long you’re an admin of the groups you’re posting to, you can share to as many groups as possible. As a non-admin, you can only share a post to groups individually using the “Share” function on the post.
Now that you know all you need to know about sharing a post to multiple groups at once, life should become a little easier for you.
