Facebook Group Crackdowns | Dr. Lisa M. Thompson

Facebook has been doing lots of crackdowns.

Pages, groups, and personal accounts have been shut down.

Here's are some of my best tip to help protect your Facebook group from getting shut down.

6,000 Member Facebook Group Shut Down

The other day I woke up to a sobering Facebook post in an online marketing group I belong to.

One of our members had a thriving Facebook group of 6,000 members.

She put a lot of time and effort into the group.

The next day her group was no more. Facebook shut it down...

But it gets even worse...

24 hours later they shut her Facebook account down saying she was not eligible to keep her account.

Facebook's reason: UNKNOWN

What to Do to Prevent Your Facebook Group From Getting Shut Down

This is a sobering wakeup call.

Facebook can shut down groups, pages, and accounts at anytime and without reason.

Fortunately, my friend had an insurance policy in place in case her Facebook group did get shut down.

She built an email list.

That's why it's so important to build an email list and start moving your followers and Facebook group members to your email list.

How to Move Facebook Group Members to Your Email List

If you have a Facebook group, here's what I suggest you do right away:

I would put a Facebook post or go Live in the group and tell them that you're starting an email list so you can still keep in touch with them in case Facebook goes down.

If people want to be added to the email list, you can either do one of two things:

1) Send the to a lead capture page where they enter in their email address to be added to your list

2) You have them private message you their email address and you add them manually to your autoresponder

If you don't have a Facebook group, I suggest that you start inviting your most engaged followers to your email list.

Send them a private message thanking them for engaging with your posts and invite them to your email newsetter where you'll share even more cool stuff with them.

Ask them to give you their best email address and manually add them to your autoresponder.

Either way get started.
