Besides the Facebook algorithm, the following are six steps to Facebook group success:

In short, you will be playing the role of a reporter.
To answer your question, How do people make money using Facebook groups?
Do Facebook Live
With Facebook Live, you will be coming up with a 300 to 500 words script based on the research you did on Google.
Switch on Facebook Live and read out the script to your audience and do to do this consistently. Wow, you will start making money.
The following are the reasons that make Facebook Live so profitable:

Video marketing is King
For example:
Let’s say you’re in a relationship niche.
Go to Google type in marriage tips, first date tips, etc.
You will get thousands of pages with lots of tips, strategies, and ideas.
Repackage that information and report back to your tribe and do Facebook Lives.
Do this consistently and in no time you will be perceived as an expert in your niche. People receiving this information will be saying to themselves.
“ Palak is giving me great tips, really great solutions, and anybody who gives me a solution and tips like this dude. That’s someone I going to recommend and pay attention to.”
This is word of mouth advertisement for you because your tribe is likely to recommend you to their friends and families.
And buy anything you recommend to them based on their problems and desires.
Premium Facebook
It is human nature that people happily pay membership fees to be part of exclusive groups and clubs in “real life”. This also applies online.
As long as you are providing valuable content to your tribe you can create a premium Facebook group and ask membership fees from your tribe to be part of these private groups.
Create and Sell Courses
You can create courses and share them with your already warmed-up tribe at fee right within your group.
Sell Ad Space in Your Group
You can sell an Ad space though; it may not seem like the most ethical way to monetize your group.
Because you are the one in charge of the group, you know what is best for your group members.
You can recommend what products and services can address your member’s pains and desires.
Leads and List-Building
If you’re looking to generate revenue continuingly then it helps to have another way to contact your prospects in addition to your Facebook group.
One of the most effective ways to do this is by building an email list from within your group.
You can do so much better by having your people that are on your email list in your Facebook group and the people who are in your Facebook group on your email list.
Money is in relationships and that money is in email lists. You can build your email list from within your group and continue interacting with your tribe outside your Facebook group
And that is why Facebook groups and email marketing like they’re brother and sister.
Keep Engagement High
Your group may have tons of likes and members, but if none of them engage with you, then you won’t make money.
To increase engagement, you need to know the best times to post.
By using social media management tools, like Buffer, you can schedule your posts to appear at the best times for engagement. Photos and videos receive more engagement than text posts because they are more dazzling.
