46 Facebook Groups Engagement Ideas

So you've created a Facebook Group and you added a few members. But now you want some Facebook groups engagement ideas because your new group needs some activity to keep growing. It is the most important part of having a Facebook Group as people won't join if they will not find something useful, and if they won't see a Facebook Group active and engaged.

I wrote the question in this way because it doesn't matter if we are talking about Facebook Pages engagement, Facebook Personal Pages engagement or Facebook Groups engagement – it is all the same.

Engaged followers or members are the users that do the following three actions:

• react to a post;
• share a post;
• comment on a post.

It is a basic Facebook knowledge.

Now an engagement post on Facebook means that a post has been created with a clear objective of engaging people. It's not that hard, right? The trickier part comes when you need ideas of engagement. Because you can't just think of random things to post on Facebook.

*I'm referring to engagement group posts

I'm thinking of this questions: how to increase engagement in Facebook Groups and what leads to a better engagement in Facebook Groups?

As I mentioned in the previous articles (find them here, here and here), having a niche Facebook Group really helps communication. Why? Because there will be only people genuinely interested in your group theme. They will want to talk about their ideas, share their stories, ask questions. This should/would happen naturally, but sometimes they need some help. This is where you, the admin, intervene.

As an admin, you should be there for your members, help them if they need it, and make them feel comfortable in your group. You should create some engagement for your members, in order to keep the group growing.

Another benefit is that people will genuinely want to share your group with their friends or acquaintances. Your group will have new members that will integrate quickly. And your niche will stay a niche.

Having engaged members is also great if you are selling something. People usually don't like to be persuaded to buy something. It will be better to:

• offer your members some quality content;
• engage your members in various other posts that don't tell them to buy;
• help your members when they need;
• be a part of your group, not just the admin or the seller.

Your members will gain confidence and will trust you. Therefore you won't need to clearly sell your product. Your actions above and your good content will sell your product.

Almost everyone says that an engaged Facebook community is THE way to have success in sales.

The most important things you should consider are:

• the theme of your group;
• your audience in terms of what they like, how they act/react, how they behave.

If your group is about cats, don't just start creating posts about dogs. It will definitely not work, or it will work in an opposite way. When you want to create some serious posts, try to keep the subject of your group.

Of course, you can think about general posts, that can be used whenever you want. They can be fun, stories, questions, and so on. I'll give some specific examples further on.

In terms of your audience, you must accept that you won't be able to please everybody. If a post creates some negative impact, be calm, and try to find out why your members didn't like it. After this, apologize and try to make-up.

Besides, you should have an eagle eye. Always read their comments, see what they react to, note how they behave. See this whenever a member posts something, or whenever you do. Experiment a little, and analyze the results. You'll see that you'll get better, and your future engagement posts will be much better.

Here is the fun part. We've all been sometimes stuck regarding something. You're now stuck on ideas for Facebook groups, that's why you are avidly searching for post ideas.

I said before that you should consider your audience's behavior and your group's theme. Regarding the theme, these next Facebook groups engagement ideas are general ones, that can be used to most of the types of groups. You'll only have to pick the ones that suit your audience. And if you pick one Facebook post idea that don't perform well, then it is safe to say you've experimented. You should definitely try again.

It can be a good idea to make use of every single day of the week and create a hashtag for it. For example, #motivationalThursday.

Use whatever main topic below to organize the group's engagement posts for the week.

I'll give you an idea of how your weekly engagement group posts should be. Remember that it is only a suggestion! Feel free to post whatever engagement posts you want, and feel free to adapt them to your niche.

Just be active every day, create some kind of routine for a few weeks or months, and you'll see that your member will begin to engage more and more. And, most importantly, they'll see that you care about them, not only about selling your product. Trusting you and trusting your content is a great help, maybe the best, in having your products sold.

Use hashtags for every type of engagement post, so that your members will find them easily.

After this small week posts organization, you'll find 45 ideas for Facebook Group engagement posts.

Almost everybody writes motivational Monday quotes, but why not be different? I mean I know there can be some sadness and some “oh, not again” situations, but the weekend just passed. Help your members have a big smile right from the beginning of the week.

Do a Monday Funday engagement post, and help your members to overcome the sadness that happens at the start of the week. Yes, if you'll work in a domain you'll love, you shouldn't have these feelings. At least not very often. But let's suppose that these kinds of days exist.

You can post whatever you want from jokes to funny selfies. You'll see that you'll grow posts engagement, and maybe you'll be the one that will help people be productive during the week.

The fun day has passed, the ice has been broken. Now your members will feel more comfortable sharing things, situations or simply facts about them.

That is why you can use Tuesday as a “get to know each other” day. Think that posting engagement content like this makes you able to find a lot of things about your members. You will find valuable knowledge about them, that will help you personalize the content, and improve your Facebook marketing strategy.

This is day half weekday. Some people may be tired by now, that is why you should totally post some motivational Wednesday engagement posts.

Be there for you members, help them by giving some extra energy for the rest of the week. Engage them by challenging them to write anything that is motivational.

The Throw Back trend is a great option for your group engagement posts. So why not combine it with Thursday, and be even more trendy?

This type of Facebook engagement post can be both funny and serious. Anything from a cool song from the year your members were born in, to an inspirational person from their childhood can be a fantastic way to increase engagement in Facebook groups.

With the weekend just around the corner, you can use Friday as a Sharing is Caring day. People will love to engage in posts that make them share what they know about something. It can be a great city-break tip, a great book they read or they plan to read, some good recipes they found online, and many, many more.

Giving the fact that it will be a Friday engagement post, your members can try over the weekend many of the shared ideas, advice, and tips.

You can even extend this thread to Saturday or Sunday, and ask people if they tried some idea presented by their group colleagues.

It's been a long week. Why shouldn't you start the day with some ways of relaxation? Everybody can share their plans over the weekend, share a photo of where they are right at that moment, or share the ways they relax.

Also, you can extend this idea of Facebook engagement post and tell people to post some selfies as a reply to the idea they liked the most. In that way, the person who posted the idea will see if there is anybody that took their advice, and is using that way of relaxation.

Your group welcomed new members throughout the week. That is why you should use Sunday as a welcoming day for your new members. They'll be able to take part of the group's engagement posts right after this day. What does this mean for you? It means that you'll have new members engaged quickly.
