And the best news is it's free. And your ideal clients probably already know how to use it. It's via a Facebook group. But there are some things that you must do to set it up correctly. So I've created a training video on how to set up a Facebook group to sell your online course. In this video here, it goes through step by step on how to set it all up and how to put the guide section, how to put workbooks and everything in there set Enjoy this video training.
So for this training I'm going to show you how you can create your Facebook group. So let's start by clicking this buttons here the group and then you will see this create new group buttons here. Click this and you will be directed to this page. So let's start by adding a group name to our group. So like for example, we're going to name our group as ultimate confidence scores for women. So let's type that ultimate confidence course for women. So now that we already have our group name, then let's choose privacy. We have two options here, public or private. So let's choose private for this one and you will see another option which is.
The visible or hidden. So you have to choose this visible so anyone can find your group. And you also have this.
Invite friends options here. But this is optional and let's not do that yet. And let's just create the group. So click this buttons here and then let's just wait.
Okay, so now we already have our Facebook group. So the next thing you have to do is to.
Add a photo here or a banner. So to do that you have to click this edit buttons here and you'll see the upload photo. Just click that and then add the banner that you like that resonates your group. Then after that we have to change our settings of course. So just scroll down here and you will see this group setting. Click that and this is how we can set up our settings for the group. So for this one we need to add description. So click this pencil here and then you will have the. You will see these sections here that tell people what your group is about. So yeah, just type in some descriptions here and then click save and then on the bottom. So you'll see many options here like customize your group. You also have, you also have the options to.
Do this, but it's for 5,000 members so you won't be able to do that yet. Then manage membership. So who can join the group?
You have two options, it's either Profiles and Pages. If you wanted to accept Pages on your Facebook group or if you only will be accepting profiles, then you have to click this. So for this group we just like to accept profiles so we don't have to do anything with this. But if you are going to choose Profiles with Pages then you have to click Save. So for now let's just cancel this one and then next one is who can approve member request. Of course we don't want anyone in the group to approve member requests. So let's change that into only admins and moderators and then click Save. So this is okay, who is pre approved to join? That's okay. And who can post in the group so you have the options to turn it off. Like if you only want you or the admins to create a post then you can change that as well. Or.
If you are allowing anyone in the group to post on your group, then you don't have to do anything with it. Just cancel that and require post for approval. And so many things.
That.
You can change.
So let's create a guide section. So for this one, for the guides you should add new and then on the bottom you will see this guide here. So let's just add that.
So we have a notifications here. Guide has been added to the group. So let's check that. And yeah as you can see there is a guide here now. So let's, let's try to add some guides. Oh also I wanted to show this to you. So this is a membership question.

If you want what is your email that you use to register to sign up for the ultimate confidence course for women or something like if you wanted to.

So if you wanted to add group rules, you can do that as well here.

Create a pose, add some photos and give it a title and write something descriptions about it and just post it. You can also reorder this by clicking this if you wanted to. Like for example, you want to move this here, you can also do that, just drag it. So yeah, that's it. And let's exit this and let's try to see it again.
Just refresh that. And this is our guide now. So this is the guide. So as you can see we have the guide 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and yeah, that's it. Okay, I'm going to show you as well how to create an event. So for this event just click that events button here and and then click this blue buttons here to create an event.
And of course, of course you have to add some photos here. So yeah, just upload one and then events name. Like for example let's say Events Event one or call number one. Let's say call one. So you have to put in the start date of course and the start time, let's say 10am and.
To 12pm so if your event is for like two hours, 10am to 12pm so that's it. And then you have to choose if it's virtual or personal or in person.
