Hi, friends. Welcome to no Bullshit Business Tips by the Dance Principals United team. Each week we're dropping short, actionable tips for you to grow the studio of your dreams. You can find this video on our free Facebook group at Dance Principles United or check it out here on the podcast as a bonus episode every week. Hope you love it.

Hi, friends. Welcome to no Bullshit Business Tips with Amanda and Bec. And we are going to talk to you today about Facebook community groups.

Absolutely. Now, we know that community groups, local area groups on Facebook are a huge thing, Right. It's a really big. You know, there's always a lot of controversy on mine. I don't know about yours, but there's a lot going on on those Facebook groups.

Is there really?

Absolutely.

I don't think there is a lot of controversy. Well, the biggest one that I look at is Penrith area mums. And there's always people asking, well, definitely about dance classes, about other things. They chat about their kids, they chat about. They ask questions to each other. It's a huge community. It's crazy.

Absolutely. So there's a real big power in posting in those Facebook groups and, you know, really thinking about what you are posting in those as well, making sure that you, number one, are a member of all of the local Facebook community groups, especially any mums ones. That would be absolutely ideal is those mums ones. But not just posting, hey, come to my dance studio and enroll. Actually jumping on there and sharing a little bit about your journey and your story can be so powerful. Right?

Yes, I totally agree. And I think sometimes we're just too quick to just go on those pages and sell, sell, sell. And I think, well, I believe this with everything, but if you give value first, people will buy from you. So even being on those posts and answering questions as an expert to kids, which we all are, and, you know, giving value that way, I think that can be just as powerful as you saying, come to my studio.

Absolutely. And so don't forget you are an expert. You're an expert in dance education. You're an expert on growing kids with confidence. There's so many things that you're an expert in. So jump in and give value or share something. You know, share a little story about, you know, a child who has grown in confidence at your studio. You know, tell them about how you created that, rather than just come to my studio. Such a better way. Yeah.

Now, here's a game changer for you. If you're sitting there and thinking, I don't think I have that group in my area at all. Create it. Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely create it. And then you're the owner of that group and then you can post on there whatever and whenever you like and you know, have that amazing community built that you built.

Absolutely. So check out your local area, search your area name, mum's group or parents or anything like that. And yeah, create one if you haven't already got one because it is so, so valuable and those groups are the best way to be seen by our potential clients.

It's interesting, like we all spend so much time on social media scrolling. I know you do. I definitely do. And sometimes I think like we could definitely do things like scroll on those pages and use out, utilize our time. That's fun but also that's going to really help our business. So this is an easy one for you to take action on. Even if you spend a little bit of that social media time on those groups, it's going to be a huge game changer for your business.

Absolutely. Jump on one of those groups today or let us know if you create one because we'd love to join it as well. So let us know. We hope that this works for you. Make sure you're giving value in these groups and not just sell, sell, selling.
