HI Paul here from PRwilson Media.
If you've got an established Facebook page , a great option is to create a group and
link it to your page.
It also means that you can then be the administrator of that group as the page not necessarily
as you personally.
So that keeps the private and the business separate.
Here's how it's done.
So here I am on my Facebook page.
Now it's important to point out not all Facebook pages yet have this group offering or menu
option here.
It is being rolled out gradually to all Facebook pages.
If you do have that groups set there you have the opportunity to create a group that's specifically
connected to your page or link a group that you've already got to your page.
So the group I've got linked here is this one.
If I want to link another group I could choose another group that I'm a manager of , I can
say link so you'll be able to manage the group , create posts as your page or as yourself.
So that's the key thing . You can interact with any groups you are a manager of as a
company or as the business page name.
I'm going to cancel that for now but let's say you could link another group or if you
haven't created a group already you can say create a group, give it a name, so you could
have several groups linked to the one page.
So how does that look when you go into the groups and you post.
It might be difficult to tell just because that's the same picture as my personal icon
but if I show you , actually the tick box is there , so I'm posting as the company name.
So it could be other administrators in PRwilson Media posting on my behalf.
So that's definitely a great opportunity if you've got a few people who don't necessarily
want to link their Facebook personal profile into a group that you are running but they
definitely would be happy to do it as the company name.
OK so I'll just show you another page that hasn't yet linked the group.
So I'll say go to groups, I'll say link your group , find the name of the associated group
and then click link and say link group.
And now if I change the view of the group to be as if it is somebody visiting the page.
What would they see.
It says there visit givingabit official supporters group and also if I click on groups and go
through to the group there.
And whereas originally I'd posted in this group before you had this option I'd posted
as myself.
Now if I was to post, I'd be posting as the page.
So really worth exploring that option , linking groups, creating a group specifically for
your page.
It's a great way to get to know your audience much better , build those relationships , have
key discussion topics.
You can make that group public or private or closed group, but do have a look at it
and I've been Paul from PRwilson Media your social media personal trainer.
Cheers.
