The Problem: You’re Invisible Online

Maybe you’re creating great content and have a killer freebie, but crickets. You’re not getting noticed, your email list isn’t growing, and you’re wondering if you need to dump money into Facebook ads or start dancing on Reels.

The truth is: you don’t have to do any of that.

Instead, what you need is to turn your existing Facebook presence into a high-converting list-building machine—without being salesy or spammy.

The Solution: Be Human, Get Visible, Grow Your List

According to Tracy, the secret to sales isn’t slick pitches or aggressive tactics—it’s being “a warm, kind human who connects with another human.”

Here’s how she helps her clients grow their lists and businesses using Facebook (for free!):

1. Turn Your Facebook Profile into a Funnel

Your Facebook personal profile is a massively underused tool.

Tracy recommends treating your Facebook cover photo like a billboard. Highlight your freebie or Facebook group and add a strong call-to-action like “Click here to join.” When people click the photo, the description should include a compelling reason to join and a clickable link.

đź’ˇ Pro tip: Use your Facebook personal profile to drive people into a free Facebook group that collects email addresses upon entry.

2. Leverage Other People’s Facebook Groups (Even if Promotions Aren’t Allowed)

Worried you can't promote yourself in other people’s groups? You don’t have to.

Here’s Tracy’s secret: Be visible and be helpful.

  • Show up consistently.
  • Leave thoughtful, kind comments.
  • Share your expertise without links.
  • Ask great questions or share tips (with no strings attached).

People will get curious and click on your profile—which, if optimized, will lead them to your freebie, group, or digital product.

3. Build Community Through a Free Facebook Group

You don’t have to be everywhere. Tracy built her business primarily on Facebook—not Instagram, not TikTok, not YouTube. And it works.

Choose one platform where your audience hangs out and go deep.

If you’re running a Facebook group and it feels “dead,” Tracy says the problem isn’t Facebook—it’s the lack of intention behind your group.

Treat your group like a party:

  • Welcome every new member with a personal DM.
  • Post engaging content 4–5 times a week (it doesn’t have to be daily).
  • Allow members to share, network, and connect.
  • Create real community by being present.

4. Offer Multiple Freebies (And Rotate Them)

Tracy rotates multiple lead magnets to grow her list. Her most popular ones?

✅ “Social Media Content Made Easy” – A video + PDF showing how to generate 90 days of content ideas in just 30 minutes.

✅ “Grow Your Email List in Other People’s Facebook Groups” – Even if promotions aren’t allowed.

If you’re wondering where to store and deliver your freebies, this is where MiloTree comes in.
