by Jenny Ambrozek

June 25 here at TheAppGap 3 owners of Facebook Groups that participated in the Facebook Groups Investigation– Eric Edelstein, Francois Gossieaux and Kimberly Samaha– joined conveners Victoria Axelrod, Bill Anderson and myself to share what we learned in a  webinar. Slides are available here.

Now thanks to Hylton Jolliffe an Executive Summary of the discussion has been released. Please go to http://www.theappgap.com/AppGaponFacebookGroups.doc 

The webinar discussion summary includes these 10 tips for creating business value from Facebook Groups.

1. Just get going.
2. Find a topic people care about.
3. Be careful (i.e., be smart).  Don’t “spam” your Facebook Group.
4. Rewards help.
5. Create connection points.
6. Create outreach programs.
7. Give the community a heartbeat.
8. Identify, appoint, and nurture ambassadors.
9. Your name matters. What you call your group is important
10. Watch what others are doing.

Are you using Facebook for your business?
