Would you love to have a Facebook group, but you don’t know where to begin? Or do you currently have a Facebook group, but you don’t feel like it’s filled with your ideal clients? Would you love to have a super engaged Facebook group filled with raving fans and ideal clients? I’m going to show you – step by step – how to inspire 100 of your ideal clients to join your Facebook group in the next 24 hours. Ready? Here we go.
1. Identify your ideal client. You must be super clear on who your ideal client is – What does she do? What is her biggest struggle? What does she want more than anything? How would she benefit from joining your group?
2. Write an invitation for your Facebook group. Here’s a sample of what you could write:
Hi NAME, I wanted to invite you to join my free Facebook group called X. It’s all about helping…..who struggle with…..and who you want……more than anything. Some of the things we do in my group are (a), (b), and (c) {this is where you would share the perks of joining your group}. If this sounds like something you think you would benefit from, you can request access to join here: {insert link of your group – also make your Facebook group a bit.ly or a shorter URL to share. This makes it easier for you to remember and share with others}. I’ll be there waiting for you with open arm {of course feel free to write this in your own words and voice}.
3. Choose 200 people to reach out to. This could be via email or via FB chat. You want to reach out to those 200 people with the message above. The intention is that half of the people you message will want to join. Now you may be saying to yourself or out loud? Um excuse me? Two hundred people? How am I supposed to find 200 people who might be my ideal clients? I don’t even think I know 200 people. I totally get it.
Here’s how you can find them:
A. Join another Facebook group that has your ideal clients in it and friend those people and then send them the message
B. Reach out to past clients who you’ve worked with and invite them to join.
C. Reach out to friends and family describing who your ideal client is and whether they can connect you with anyone they may have in mind who could benefit from your help.
D. Post on your personal or business Facebook page about your Facebook group, explaining who it’s for and sharing the link to request access to join.
E. Send a newsletter to your community letting them know about your Facebook group.
{In all of these suggestions, you can use the invitation you crafted in #2 as a starting point for what to share}.
Here’s to having 100 new ideal clients in your group in the next 24 hours!
