How to Make a Facebook Group Go Viral

When a Facebook group goes viral, this means millions of people are joining and passing the link on to friends. At times even national news sources pick up on the group, drawing even more attention to the cause or person. Creating a viral Facebook group is not easy; however, you can employ a few common marketing tactics to improve your group's chance of success.

Instructions

1. Think about the type of group you're making. You must have a topic for a group that is appealing to many types of people or that causes controversy. If it gets attention, people will talk, join your group and even suggest the link to friends.

2. Write a creative title. It didn't take long for groups like "Can this pickle get more fans than Nickelback?" or "Can this french fry get more friends than Glen Beck" to get more than a million fans. The titles were creative and made people laugh; they also poked fun at celebrities people knew.

3. Invite your friends to join the group. Suggest the group to everyone and ask that they send it to their friends. A social network grows by adding more people and then those people adding people.
