Are you wondering whether to start a free Facebook group for your business?

Perhaps you already have a free Facebook group, but it’s like a ghost town. No one ever posts - unless you start the conversation.

In this podcast episode you’ll hear from four business owners who’ve built successful Facebook groups that are generating leads and sales for their business.

Nishma Mistry (Asian Bride Sorority) 

Josephine Hughes (Good Enough Counselling)
