Knowing the benefits of asking Facebook group questions in your community is one thing. Being able to really come up with the question to ask is another thing. Bear in mind that the answers you get here should be able to help you create a better community experience for you and your members.
As you’ve probably seen in other mobile no database Facebook groups, most admins request an email in the last question.
It does work for some but I have a few of my Facebook group clients who told me they prefer to ask for the email either in the first or second question because most new members don’t usually scroll down to see the last question.
You would want to create the best first impression for your new members by promising them something they might not get somewhere else, or at least helping them solve their most pressing problem.
Below are a few examples of how Facebook group experts are structuring their third questions.
The first and second questions can be anything.
From my experience, I see a lot of marketers letting new members know that self-promotion, as well as spamming, are not allowed in their group. They are asking for this in the first question.
You can use the second question to let new members know you can provide a solution to the problems they currently have. Use it to position yourself as the authority in your niche and they will be eager to get in asap.
If I were you, I would look for one of my best lead magnets and use it to convince new members to drop their email addresses before joining the group.
You can use the Group Leads chrome extension to add these emails to your autoresponder and your email marketing software will deliver the lead magnet to them automatically.
