As the original topic is closed I post here
I have some experience with taking social presence equal zero to a couple hundred followers in a few months. I have done this in past for another (paid) plugin and their groups are rocking meanwhile, not to speak of the traction it gets them
First steps to take this to next level are to give the group a “real” name, right now, it is the default number - this can be changed easily in the group settings
Also the group should be connected to CP FB page, to make it official
It is important to do this in the early stages, because this is like a domino game:
A user sees there’s no social presence, he/she won’t follow. The next user sees there are no many followers, Thus won’t follow, and so on
If we can tackle this now, the social presence grows as CP grows, and again like in domino, the next user will join because there is active community (Many people do NOT want to create new accounts yada yada, they want to go with their daily media channel, which for many is FB)
I am willing to help with this - either as admin or whatnot, just let me know. I have also some resources (volunteers) that are willing to interact with eventual users, we do that already on above mentioned paid plugin (still, even if we do not profit anymore from it as meanwhile independent). So, please PM or reply here if we can help somehow with it.
