Listener Q: "My Community Is Dead – Should I Move It To Facebook?"
Published 1 year ago
Description
In this episode, I’m answering a question from a longtime newsletter reader who asked, “Should I move my community to Facebook? It feels dead where it is now.”
She’s not alone in wondering this so I recorded this voice note for Tina, and for anyone trying to breathe life into a quiet group.
We cover:
- Whether Facebook Groups are ever a good idea in 2025
- What to do when your forum isn’t buzzing (especially with <50 members)
- Why real connection doesn’t always look like daily posts
- Tactical ways to drive engagement through onboarding, intros, small groups, and in-person moments
- When a real-time chat tool like WhatsApp can make sense (and how to avoid letting it compete with your forum)
If you’re running a smaller community and wondering how to create more meaningful connection, this one’s for you.
