Hey, welcome back to the Six Figure Mastermind. Today we're talking about how
to use Facebook groups to grow your business specifically when it comes to
selling items online. Check it out.
Alright. Let's talk about Facebook groups. You may not know how they can be
leveraged for your business. But there's actually several different group types
that you can then use to get to your customers and get them what you have. So,
let's talk first about buy-and-sell groups. And I'm going to use an example that
I have for you from a yardsale group that I have nearby. Okay, if you look at
my screen right here and again, you can open up your own screen and start your
own group. In fact, do yourself a favor and pause this video. Start creating a
group and then you can change the group type when you get there, okay? And when
you get there, come back, hit play, alright? So, I'm going to show you the groups that
I have. You know, I'm part of literally hundreds of groups on Facebook. And do I
use every single one of them every day? Absolutely not. But I am admining quite
a few and they all have their own unique purpose. So, if you go to a group, you
actually can see that sometimes you can buy and sell things in the group. Now, I'm
showing you one that's an example that I have right here. And in this group, you
actually see the option to click Sell Something. When you click sell something,
you can put the description in you can put the price in, you can even put your
zip code in. And if you'll go ahead and blew out the zip code for me, that'd
be great. Then you'll describe your item and then you'll add some photos of your
item up to 42. Now, the question is how do you get this feature in your group? Let
me show you. So, I'm going to go back to the groups that I moderate that I am a
part of the admin team on. So, if I were to go to my Six Figure Mastermind group,
and let's say in my Six Figure Mastermind group which you're all
welcome to join by the way. I wanted to start actually making products available
in this group for people to buy. You know, and people can buy products not directly
putting money into the group. They would contact you through Facebook Messenger
or Venmo or PayPal. However they want to pay. But if I wanted to change this group
to one that could have that option to sell products, here's what I would do. I
would go to more and... Alright, so if you want to change the settings on your
group or you want to make a group that can you know advertise and buy and sell
and make listings in it, go to your group section and go to a group that you've
already created and click this little cog right here.
Okay, so we're going to do this for my Six Figure Mastermind group. I kind of show
you what we're going on here. You're going to edit group settings. When you do
that, it's going to bring you into the group, into the settings tab. Now, if I
want it to go into this group and change the settings, I could pretty much change
everything I wanted to in here. When you make any changes at all, please remember
to click the Save button right at the bottom. Otherwise, you're going to lose all
of your changes and nobody wants that. So, the way to change this group is you
check this second row out. It's going to say group type. Now, this group type is
currently a steady group. This is a place for everyone on the Six Figure
Mastermind channel to come in, discuss Six Figure Mastermind and see what's
working for them share their business. It's going to be awesome. So, you come in
here and you actually click Change. Now, this is going to pop up with all these
different options. 3 of these options are going to change the nature of your
group and add or take away features depending on what you're coming from. So,
if you want to change this to a Buy and Sell group, that will add the features to
the group. So, for just a moment, let me confirm that for you. And then I'll show
you what that looks like. Now, we've changed the group to a buy and sell
group. The currency is going to be in USD. And when you go into the group, remember
you're going to click Save whenever you do that. Your changes have been saved. Good. Now,
when I go into the discussion of the group, now, they can start selling
something. Anyone can sell something in here, okay?
And you can even change the nature of the group back If you want. In fact, we're
going to go ahead and do that and change it back to a study group. But you can
change the admin settings of this group. So, whenever anyone lists something for
sale, you can make it so that it passes through you before it gets to the group.
That's just in the admin settings, okay? So again, you're going to go back to your
group and change your group settings here. I'm going to change it back to a
community? Change it back to a study group. Save the changes and you are done.
Now remember, if you want to be the admin that verifies every post before it goes
out, you're going to click this little box right at the bottom, right above the
Save icon that says "All group story posts must be
approved by an admin or a moderator." This is really really smart if you're a
business owner and you just want your products to be sold in the group. You
don't want to make the product everyone able to pitch their products in your
group. I mean it just gets really spammy really fast.
Alright. So, anyone can discuss in the group but you're the only one that can
makes it for sale posts. Or you can verify other people making sale posts,
okay? So again, remember to hit save and then
you'll have the option to buy and sell in the group. Now, one of the cool things
that Facebook is doing all the time is they're always updating their interface.
Love it or hate it, they're always doing it. When you list something for sale in
the group, what they've done is make that listing available through messenger. So,
if you have someone that's interested in the whatever the seller is selling, they
can type in I'm interested or they can message the seller directly even if
they're not friends and that sellers gonna get notified that the customer is
interested in their item. Same thing for you. Your customer is going to be able to
message you directly to buy your items. So again, very simple, very
straightforward. Just through your settings in your group app. Let's get
this thing rolling. Hey, thanks for watching today. Be sure to hit the
