You could post the best piece of content you've ever made and Facebook might show it to 3% of your followers. You have no direct access to those people. You can't DM them. You don't own that audience. You're building on rented land.In this video, I'm showing you step by step how to build a thriving local community for your business where you own the audience, the algorithm can barely touch you, and your competitors have no idea who your members are.I break down exactly how to figure out your group concept, and why your group should NOT be named after your business. I use real examples from people I've worked with, including a financial advisor named John whose group Get Financially Free is at almost 2,000 members, and a dog trainer named Lori whose hyper-local group D-Town Dog Pack hit 500 members in under a year.I walk through how to set up your 3 membership questions so they qualify leads, capture emails, and tell you exactly what content to create. I show you how to get your first 50 members using people who already know and trust you, with the exact message to send them. I give you a simple weekly posting schedule, Monday through Friday, so you always know what to post. And I show you how the group eventually starts growing on its own where members invite others, people tag you for recommendations, and business owners start joining specifically because they want the exposure.I also share what happened with my own communities. I built two local Facebook groups to over 30,000 members combined. I generated multiple six figures in leads and commissions from them. Zero dollars on ads. A guy I taught this to years ago now has close to 5,000 members and says almost 100% of his business comes from his group. This works for literally any local business. You just have to be willing to build it and stick with it.If everything in this video and the previous two feels overwhelming and you don't have the time to do it all yourself, we should talk. That's exactly what I help people do.This is Part 3 of a 3-part series on how to dominate your local market on social media.Part 1 - How to Become Famous in Your Local Market: https://youtu.be/2Wrp326FhrkPart 2 - The Local Market Content Strategy Nobody Is Using: https://youtu.be/OWLAkuNCuJkI help local business owners build their brand and get clients on social media.👉 Book a call with me! https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/booking/Ajs35xyZmljFfD6bVnyf📩 Questions or collaborations?
