How to Create a Facebook Group

Types of Facebook Groups
There are times when the most popular options for profiles on Facebook, the Personal Profile and the Page just aren't suitable for the type of profile page we are wanting to create.  Personal Profiles are just for that - personal friends and family to connect with and Pages are public spaces for business and organizations that can be seen by the whole world. The other profile option that is often forgotten or not known about is the Group.  

Creating a New Group on Facebook is an ideal space to share things with different people of a similar interest, select group or very small group of private people.  There are three options available when creating a Facebook Group: 

  1. OPEN ~ An Open Group means that anyone can see the group, they can see who is a member of the group page and what the members post.
  2. CLOSED ~ A Closed Group means that anyone can see the group and who is a member of the group, but only members can see the group posts on the wall.
  3. SECRET ~ A Secret Group means that only members of the group can see the Group itself, see who is a member of the group and what the members post. The Secret Group Page is completely hidden from other users.

Once you have decided to start a group, the set-up is relatively straight forward and the cover image size is the same size as ones for a Facebook Page making this also convenient.

Once your group is created you can either add friends from your personal friends list to be a member of the group or you can add them by email address.  As the group creator you also have the option of adding one of the members as an Admin of the page so they can make necessary changes.

Facebook offers a separate Group Profile for School Groups which is also another great safe secret group option.  You can find out more about Facebook Group Types and start a group of your own here.  Blue Bird Internet Marketing can also create a Group to suit your needs.  Contact Us for further information.    We recently created a Secret Facebook Group for one of our Business Clients that is an exclusive page for her store retailers to share information about products.

Thanks for these tips Judi. As a relative newcomer to Facebook, I'll check out groups as an option to company pages.
