96: How We Built a Highly Engaged Community in a Facebook Group Without Ever Using the @everyone Tag

96: How We Built a Highly Engaged Community in a Facebook Group Without Ever Using the @everyone Tag

Author: The Two Lauras February 20, 2024 Duration: 36:53

In our free Facebook Group, The Social Media Managers Hub (linked in the show notes if you haven’t joined us yet!), you might have noticed that we steer well clear of that dreaded @everyone tag. We all hate unnecessary notifications, and so when we get one trying to drag us kicking and screaming to a group we aren’t interested in looking at currently, it really winds us up! 

We know how to run Facebook Groups - we’ve got a free one and a paid one currently (also linked in the show notes!) and we’ve run a whole host of groups in the past, so we’re confident we know what we’re talking about when we say using the @everyone tag isn’t the way to go to build your group's engagement and foster a happy community. Dive into the episode to learn what we think you should be doing to create a thriving community that actually builds your network!

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • The main reasons we love Facebook Groups and don’t think they’re going anywhere!
  • Why people use the @everyone tag when they really shouldn’t
  • What you need to consider if you’re thinking of creating your own Facebook Group
  • How to organically increase engagement and create a group with the right people in it
