It all depends on your product. For B2C Facebook might work. For B2B it's not the best choice.

@alina_cl I didn't say it wouldn't work, I wouldn't just choose FB as the first priority. Take a look at https://bootcampdigital.com/blog... Because of the audience, its intent and the content types it's not the very best choice for B2B, as for me.
Have others had experience managing communities on a different platform than Facebook? Discord, Slack, etc? If yes, then what was your experience?
@janie_baek The majority of Web3 and Crypto related projects have Discord community channels. As a member of a few - it is easy to use but must be quite challenging to manage
@janie_baek We have a Discord community, and it works great! We have currently 4500+ community members on Discord.

Felya, if your targeted audience are mostly available on Facebook then facebook groups are great in my opinion.

@felicitias Super cool Felya, Also do you consider outreaching to your targeted audience as a marketing method as well? As you already know i am launching meta compliant whatsapp marketing/outreaching software, i think you should try it. Currently onboarding people for beta or testing the software . If you are interested to test to see if its a good use for your use case , do let me know (: 😎
Thanks!! @istiakahmad my targeted audiences are freelance marketers and marketing agencies!
@istiakahmad yess!!! I wanna try, sending to you a message via LinkedIn
I had to deactivate my FB for some time ago…all I was seeing was ads and paid posts😅 so I personally would always rather choose a different platform. But of course, depends on the customer profile🤔
@matej_cabadaj hahah :D I love the community features of Facebook it is easy to manage and measure.
I haven't tried using Facebook groups for community engagement. However, I use Slack and Discord for community engagement. Give it a try and see how it works for your goals and audience.
@felicitias I'm interested in learning more about your Discord community! What topics or interests does it cover? I'm always on the lookout for engaging communities to join.
@alexandru_purdoiu We have already a Discord Community. We have 4500+ community members, still growing. I now wanna try Facebook.
@alexandru_purdoiu It is about AI-powered Apps we built and automation 🚀🚀you can join via community.robomotion.io
I've tried but the feedback wasn't that great it was a bit disappointing. I need to learn to engage people in a better way because I think there are many potentials users. I will try soon again.
I don't have any experiences from the past. I would say, it depends on your product, niche and your ICP.
Leveraging Facebook groups is a smart approach for engaging with your target audience, especially for GK Dental. It offers a direct means of interaction and sharing valuable content. Yet, sustaining an active and lively group demands ongoing commitment. Growing your group's membership demands perseverance and a long-term investment of time and energy.
I think it depends on your audience and location. Some people would prefer Telegram Community channel over Facebook , some are using WhatsApp Community Channels(not me for sure). But i have a feeling that Facebook groups are half dead at this point
