Create Facebook Group
Groups are meant to be a close circle of people that share and stay connected on Facebook.
Individuals often tend to create them around points like:
- Topics
- Books (think of it like a publication club).
- Their business (type of like an "expert's club").
- To sell items locally.
- Exclusive membership site.
- Support groups.
There is no "Incorrect" topic for a Group IMHO. Everything depends upon your:.
- Goals.
- Focus.
- Business.
- Topic.
Once you figure out why you intend to use one and also just how it will certainly help promote as well as support one or several of the above, it's time to produce your very own Facebook Group. As well as it's very easy!

Facebook does something weird here-- and also out of order, in my point of view.

Yet as soon as your groups expands to over 5000 participants, you can just change an Open group to Shut or Secret-- and also a Closed group to Secret.
You won't be able to transform the privacy once more hereafter.
