How To Add Content To Your Facebook Group
86Learn to Drive Traffic to Your Facebook Group With Rich Content
Adding content to your Facebook group page is an absolute must for success
In a previous hub I described how to create a Facebook group. Here I'll teach you how to add content to your Facebook group. A Facebook group is a wonderful way to drive traffic to your blog or website. It gives you an engaged list of potential customers. In my previous hub I talked a bit about the importance of not being to pitchy for your website in your Facebook group because that will make you look like some what of a spammer. But, if you don't add content to your Facebook group it will never get off the ground.
I hope you'll find these tips useful. If I leave anything out or if you have a related hub feel free to let me know in the comments section below!
A Facebook group is like any other website in that you must continuously add content
Actually, a Facebook group is in itself just like any other webpage. In order to get Internet users to keep coming back to it you need to continuously add new content. Otherwise, without new content you're giving your potential audience no reason to come back to see what's new on your Facebook page. So, without adding new content your Facebook group will fail to help drive Internet traffic to your website.
Keep your Facebook group description text updated and fresh
The area of content that you can add to is your Facebook description. Once your Facebook group is created click on "Edit Group". Then under description you can continuously add new text to your Group description. Here you can also add links to interesting articles and videos if you wish. Keeping your description content updated will surely help to keep your Facebook group page from becoming dull.
Encourage group members to start discussions and leave comments
It's absolutely crucial that you have a "call to action" in your Facebook description. You need your Facebook group members themselves to help add content to your page. So, in the description you may invite your members to start discussions on the discussion board and to leave comments on the comment wall. This way your Facebook group will be generating content on its own while you focus on other areas of your page. Also - I must not forget - in the description you may want to remind your members to "invite their friends" to your group. That way you'll have group members helping you to invite new members who can in turn help to add content to your page.
Be sure to uplaod lots of interesting interesting images that relate to your topic
In the next box scrolling down your Facebook group you'll see a box for uploading photos. I'd strongy suggest you to upload a minimum of 25 images relating to your website or blog here. If it's just a few images people will think your Facebook group is boring and go away. Also, in your Facebook group description text don't forget to invite your group members to upload their images as well! This is another way of getting self-generated content.
Be sure to link out to other relevant sites
In the next box below you'll find "Links". Here I'd recommend to post about 10 interesting links to other sites online about your Facebook group's topic. Don't be greedy and not put links in here. Just like a good Hub your Facebook group should have interesting relevant links that go out to other sites. Don't be afraid to lose a visit to another website. If you've truly touched them they'll surely come back to your page.
Upload lots of good videos to your Facebook group
Next - upload video. Again, upload a minimum of 10 videos. If you already have a YouTube channel you can download your existing videos as FLV or AVI files and upload them to your Facebook group page. If your YouTube channel has been running for a while you'll know which videos have been the most successful and can add those to your Facebook group.
Your Facebook group will be a huge success if you're pro-active about adding content
If done correctly your Facebook group can be one of your most powerful online tools for driving traffic to your website. With your group you'll be able to reach a much wider range of people and lessen your dependence on the search engines. But, to be successful as a Facebook group creator you must be proactive about adding content to your group.
I hope this Hub about adding content to your Facebook group has helped. If you have any comments I'd love to hear from you in the comments section below!

Hi Melody - My pleasure. Thanks!
This is quite clear and easy to understand. I never knew facebook could be this important. You work hard at your content and I'm sure you reap the rewards.
Is your facebook account the same as your username. I'd like to see your advice in action .

I really appreciate this infomration. I just started a group on my face book page two days ago but had no idea what it entailed. Now, I have a better concept of what I need to do. Best to you...
Yes, using Facebook to drive people back to another Web site is a great idea. There is some nice advice here. Although Facebook groups can be great, they can easily fade into the background. A fair amount of management is necessary.
Thanks for sharing this information.
useful thanks
Really interesting reading but what do we do when we can't load links in the group? I've had this problem for months ... so I found a work-around and now the work-around doesn't work either! Facebook is impossible to contact ... any suggestions on why links aren't working in my Group? I can paste the link in anywhere (in a browser) and it will go there but if I paste the same link in Facebook links in my Group ... it defaults to www.facebook.com and it's very annoying cause I put lots of links in my group on a daily basis.

thnks............
Normally when i see something on the web I like - i click on the fb app and it automatically adds it to my personal fb profile - but the group is created on my personal account.. how do i search the web and content to my group without it posting it to my personal fb.??
Given that many would choose to wear Replica Watches and Fake Watches, you may take one more step further to be better than them. A Rolex Watches is such a thing that can bring you one more step ahead of your competitors. Rolex Watches, Replica rolex watches, Franck Muller Watches, Hublot Watches, you can't even have not heard of them if you are determined to succeed in the business world. These brand name IWC Watches are symbol of success. You will certainly shine wearing such Longines Watches. However, these Omega Watches are all with hefty price tag. Maybe you need to save money for several months to buy one. Time is precious. Opportunities never waits. And it's miserable to save money for so long to only get a Panerai Watches. Actually there is an easy alternative - buy a replica Patek Philippe Watches.
I agree ro use Facebook to drive people back to another Web site is a great idea.
Hi, I have the same question as Annette, I've set up a group, but can't figure out how to share a link from youtube or elsewhere directly onto my group page, it's always posted onto my personal profile page. Also, how do I add a post on my group page that looks like it's posted from the group and not me personally? I'd be delighted to get these answers, then I can start to get my group off the ground. Like another person said, seems really hard to get facebook help. Thanks!!!
