In this episode, I'm excited to share insights from a recent Facebook live session where I tackled the common questions about nurturing versus selling to your Facebook group members. Many people worry about being too salesy or pushy, and I'm here to address those concerns by explaining why it's vital to incorporate selling into your regular content mix.

I've moved away from the traditional 80/20 rule and adopted a more integrated approach that combines value-driven and sales-oriented content seamlessly. By shifting your mindset, you can ensure your audience understands your offers and considers them without feeling overwhelmed. 

In this episode, I share insights on the growing trend of moving online communities off Facebook to platforms like Mighty Networks, Skool, and more. I discuss the allure of these platforms, such as their unique features and the potential for a more intimate, distraction-free setting, but also highlight the significant drawbacks, including marketing challenges and decreased visibility.

Through personal experiences and observations, I emphasize that the key to a thriving community is not the platform but the strategy and skills in engaging and growing the group. I also advocate for the value of Facebook's algorithms in helping to organically grow communities and offer my Profitable Facebook Group Program as a solution for those struggling with engagement and growth on Facebook.

Happy listening!
