Do you know where you can find a whole tribe of people who dress like you, walk like you, talk and act like you?
Yes, you probably guessed right.
Facebook Groups.
(And bonus hi-5 if you caught that Slim Shady reference.)

Facebook Groups are a perfect platform for you to meet like-minded people who are going through the same pains on your lone, entrepreneurial journey.
But:
Not all Facebook Groups are made equal.
Some Facebook Groups are filled with spam — mountains of links that no one cares about. Others are like a graveyard — not a single soul seen within miles of each other.
And if you’re looking from the outside, it can be tough to discern the wheat from the chuff. The gems from the dirt.
That’s where I step in.
In this post, I have listed out the best groups you should join that are neither spammy nor dead.
Get ready your mouse to click “join” for these groups.
But before that..
I know, I know.
You already have an endless to-do list that you are dreading to even touch.
Yet, here I am, attempting to convince you to add another task into that list.
And worse still… On Facebook?
Thousands of blistering barnacles!
That’s the Procrastination Devil right there!
But here’s the truth:
There are immeasurable benefits to joining a community on Facebook. Yes, I admit, it can be a distraction if you do not manage your time well.
But — there are a whole host of benefits you can gleam from if you participate in an active one.
For example:

I assure you:
Most problems are not unique.
In fact, the problem you’re facing now has probably been solved by another person.
And this is where Facebook Groups come in handy — you can find the other person who has solved the problem, right inside the group!
Just ask your most pressing questions and get it solved.

Editors are helpful because they offer a 2nd, or even a 3rd look at your drafts, helping you catch mistakes and eliminate fluff where necessary.
You can do the same for your website, ads, landing pages, and so on.
Get like-minded people in the Facebook Group to offer their feedback on how you can further improve.

According to research by highly-rated Wharton professor Adam Grant, successful people give more than they take.
Being in a Facebook Group allows you to demonstrate your expertise and show your learnings… in the process inspiring others and helping them achieve more.

Business is all about who you know and who you can partner with.
Even if you live in the most remote city in the world (hello Perth!), you can still network and befriend entrepreneurs from all over the world… inside a Facebook Group.

Changes are made in the digital marketing world almost every day, and it is a huge hassle to keep up-to-date with relevant information.
Plus, you are already so busy dealing with your business.
Who has the time to read every single new update?!
And that’s where the Facebook Group comes in.
New changes to algorithms will prompt fellow marketers and entrepreneurs to share the latest information inside the group — giving you the latest update without you having to search for it.

If the Facebook Group contains members of your target customer, you can network and pick out your best clients — people who are actively engaged in learning how to improve.
And if you write content regularly, you can use the community content promotion technique, where you share your latest and greatest blog posts with a curated group of audience members, giving you the traffic boost you need.
