be people that you could connect
with they're in the group they're in Hey my friend! Jean-Serge Gagnon here
and today we're going to talk about what's the best way to find the active users
in Facebook groups and why do you need to find active user we're going to talk about you
know there's lots of ways to find the users in groups but what about the ones that are
actually doing something that are actually active anyways we're going to talk about
that in just a second but first this So the real question is this: What
are the strategies, techniques and tools that you need to learn to generate
residual income from the e-learning boom that's happening right now? My name is Jean-Serge
Gagnon and welcome to Course Income Secrets…
Right so active users finding the users that
are actually active in google you might think it's pretty simple to do and but there's
lots of little variables and lots of things and one thing you might want to wonder is why do
you care that they're active or not we're going to talk about that as well so before we get into
that door I want to remind you if you're listening to the audio of this you're going to want to
go check out the video at cis424.jsgagnon.com because I will be sharing my screen and
showing you uh what I'm talking about kind of sharing Facebook and see the process here
so let's get right to it and let's go to the to my screen so sean you're on Facebook you're
scrolling through Facebook and one of the things that you've learned as an online marketer is that
you need to grow your audience you need to grow your audience you need to get you know more people
that like you you need to get more people to follow you you need to be able to get to comment
on your posts you need to find you know you get you got to have people uh doing posting commenting
on your stuff right I mean I that's kind of what I every day like there's what I guess there was over
20 notifications here just from yesterday so you need to do that too because the only way to sell
something online is to have people to sell it too right and building an audience online
isn't necessarily the easiest thing to do I mean I've been doing it since what 2015 and I've
not yet become a millionaire unfortunately I'm not a millionaire but it's coming but the point is
that as an online marketer you need to have an audience right so who is your audience it's the
people that are interested in whatever you have to sell if you're trying to sell a course trying
to sell an affiliate program you're trying to sell a product you're trying to get people into your
opportunity all those things they're all they all require an audience so how do you get an audience
that's actually going to be interested in your stuff I mean you could we could talk about uh an
email list we could talk about a Facebook fan page we could talk about an Instagram account TikTok
and all those different things but today we're just gonna talk about Facebook and Facebook groups
now the thing with Facebook groups is that it's the I guess it's the medium or the place that
Facebook wants people to be right so that's why there's a Facebook group icon right here otherwise
there's a group little link right there and that's why in your shortcuts you'll see your groups right
so if I if I scroll down here and I see the post ilc post from people right like for jennifer pedro
here she's one of my friends that I've been I'm engaging on her post so I see her post in the note
in the feed but we're not even talking about the feed we're not even talking about seeing things in
the feed right we're talking about seeing things in the in groups right why groups because what's
in your feed is what you have already engaged with what's in your feed is the posts of people that
are already connected with you in some way whether it's because they're your friends or whether
it's because you've engaged on some of their posts or maybe you've had conversations with
them but they're kind of already in your world you want new people right you want to find
new people so how do you find so first let's say we go to a group like say clickfunnels
avengers right here which is an affiliate group um well actually before I do that let's talk about
the groups that you want to go in first you have to decide the kinds of groups you need to go in
and how do you decide that it's basically you think of where would your ideal customer b
if if you're trying to sell a weight loss product well they're probably going to be in a
weight loss group if you're trying to sell keto vitamins or not vitamins but I guess keto plans
or keto uh snacks or things like that they're probably going to be in the keto group if
you're trying to sell a course on how to be I don't know uh how to build a jenkins
server well you're probably gonna find them in the jenkins group like all these things
it's pretty straightforward you just go and search Facebook right here you say uh keto
diet right diet let's say keto diet snacks snack right I'll just say keto diet snacks
then I go into here and I say groups right it'll give me a list of groups now you see I'm
already in some of these groups but any groups I'm not in are showing up as you know with the little
so there's difference with the little blue thing means I'm in the group already these ones mean
I'm not in the group and if it's a public group normally you can just join the group but if it's
not a public group or like a private group then you have to request to join right but the point is
that you find the groups that your target market is in I'm just gonna I could go into one of
these uh groups but I'm just gonna go to go back home here I'm just gonna go to this
affiliate group because there's a lot of it's a big group and there's a lot of stuff so
it'll be easy to show you what what I mean by finding active users in the group so first we
go to the group so let's just go to the group the reason why you're going to go to the group
is because you're looking for new people that you're not already connected to so there's lots
of different ways that you can find people in the groups right and we're talking about finding
the active users now if you just go say to the members right you just click on the link here
that shows you who the members are it'll just show you the members of the group right so it'll
show you things like the admins then it'll show you the group experts then it'll show you the all
the and it shows you your the friends people that are your friends that are in the group it'll
show you people that have things in common like this guy here has you know mutual friends that a
certain number of mutual friends and then members near me like people near me and physically I guess
in charlottetown that kind of stuff right because I'm in charlottetown and what else and then new to
the group it'll show you new people in the group right when you joined two hours ago 22 hours ago
so it shows you the new people now now you could you know you could click on these people's
profiles and go go look at them because you know if I click on any of these like say I click
on shari here it shows me right here that she has no posts right so she hasn't posted anything in
the group right if I go back to the list here stan peters right if you look at this he hasn't
posted anything either right so I can kind of find whether they're actually posted anything in here
right I can do that I could go through each user and you know have a file someplace that I just
kind of look at see if they've posted anything and you know that's one way you can do
it right so no post nobody has any posts right so I mean this is obviously not the way
to do it right because you're just going to waste a whole lot of time going through every
single one of these to see if they're active or not but even if they're active in the group that
doesn't mean they're active but let's let's kind of talk about what I'm talking about so back to
the discussion you see these tabs here discussion if you go back to this this basically the
post in the group right if I scroll down here I see posts in the group right so this is this
is you know the activity in the group right so Facebook will show you the activity it'll show you
and what shows up here says most relevant right you can change to most new posts newest
activity right so originally I think it was the newest activity it used to be like based on if
somebody comments on a post that's been that's been posted a week ago it shows up the top of the
news feed the group feed new posts is written this is relatively new they didn't have that well
anyways I don't I don't remember using it but so this is just the kind of feed the type of
feed to look at if I just click on new posts here uh I guess it's I don't know was it the same one
so see how this is four hours ago this one here was yesterday this one here was September
4th this is September 4th September 4th September 1st right okay so that's that's
kind of interesting because I guess it's maybe it's based on new post let's see newest
activity still him here is there four hours ago yesterday at 10 August 9th so August 9th even though this is
a post that's almost a month old it shows up at the top of the list because this person well
there must be some reason why it's showing up I thought these comments or maybe these
replies are recent three weeks ago no so I don't even know how Facebook decides to show
this post instead of that post right but anyways the point is you can change the what uh what what
the feed looks like the and we're talking about getting the active oh let's let's yeah let's talk
about getting the active refining the active users and um yeah sorry yeah okay so we're in the group
we're in the group we want to know who's active well it's kind of obvious right this you this
person here vroometta is definitely somebody who's active in the group he just posted but is
he really active so you click on his name here and you can see that he posted here four hours ago
he posted July 11th he posted July 7th so he did he posted three posts in the group and he had
three comments right okay so that's great now you can kind of see that he's actually
active in the group now is he active on Facebook right so go here view main profile
and now you look at his actual main profile and you can see whether he's active September 3rd
September 1st sept August 31st so that's pretty good you know within a week or so he's posted
a few posts so he's actually active in Facebook and in the group so this person here this room
meta would definitely be somebody you'd consider active so this is one of the ways to find an act
well this is not the one of the ways that's really the only way to tell when somebody's active
or not you've got to go find them in the group gotta go check their profile in the group
to see how how active they are in the group and then you go to their personal profile
to find out whether they're active there so now we know that he's active so maybe we
follow him maybe we comment on his posts right to kind of let him know that we're there uh
the thing that you'll notice is that some people they won't have public posts so this this he's
got a public post uh sometimes you're gonna go to a profile you know you're not going to see
anything except for their profile picture changes and that's because they're posting to friends
instead of public they're posting to friends which means you won't be able to see their stuff
until you become a friend with them which you know can be okay but it also means that you can't see
whether they're active or not because you can't see their posts but the other thing you can
do too is you can look at their about section and you can check out where they live and maybe
there's a contact info here maybe they have links to other uh website maybe they have um you
know an Instagram link or a Twitter link or things like that and you can kind of see whether you
can connect with them or not in other ways right and yeah and I i heard of another
tool too I don't know what what what tool it is yet but but I've
heard of the tool that lets you correlate a person with all the stuff
that's online it's totally crazy um seamless dot ai I think it's called so that
tool lets you find you know whether this vroom meta anywhere else right it's not um it's not
an exact science because uh because there's a because it's you know it's an ai tool
so it does some some some kind of logic but anyways that's the point okay so now we find
this person we found him he's active so now we have this guy we can maybe take his his link maybe
paste it in a document whichever way you want to manage this right so now you have this person so
and now let's go back let's go back to the group oh actually I clicked a whole bunch of
stuff let me simply okay there we go we got this one here's the other thing that
you can do to find active users in the group when you look at a post like this you can also
look at the comments who commented on the post right now there's uh it says top comments
is there a way to see all yeah all comments so right now there's one two three there's well yeah three because that's him so there's
three other people that posted or commented on this post so I can go to this person's post let's
open a new link let's open them all in a new link open a new tab okay so we're
going to go to these other people's profiles again it's the same
process right you look at their profile see they have no post they this guy brent barry
he didn't post anything in the group but if we give it time we see that he commented on stuff
he liked this and he comments so he he engaged on one post right he didn't post he engaged on one
post I can still go to his profile main profile and let's wait for it to load up here and I can look at his profile and we can see right
here that he's got lots of things he's uh he's an exp realty realtor he's an auctioneer at perry
brent berry fundraising so I guess that's his own thing and we can see that he posts public
posts I guess he shares things these are shares owns by brenda I guess this is a whole
he's selling he's a realtor right so he's posting post a picture fishing here August
33 so he's he's pretty active he's got a picture of his kid here or maybe his grandkid I don't
know but he's posting as well right he's posting so this guy might you might consider him active uh
even though he just commented on one thing in the in the uh group but that's how you find
somebody who's active by doing that again you can go at the about here and he's a
realtor so he might he might just have uh other things but I guess he doesn't
have contact in for here but he's got that okay but that's another one let's go
to the next the next one again is the same thing we have my hair here let's
close this one just keep opening me um so this one here is he posted
he posted this he posted this August 2020 so he's been in the group for a while
August 14th so he posted one something in the 2020 three things in 2020 around the same time last
year and he commented a few things here uh he commented uh awesome and awesome and the
funnel style we have a huge closing oh this is just a like that's great okay so he did so he's
a little active so he did post things right so now if I go back to his profile let's take a look at
this profile I just want to show you a couple of different examples this one here this guy oh this
is a good is it yeah this is a good example okay so this guy here is active in the in the group
but when I look at his profile all I see is his friends that posted for his birthday here
uh this August 9th and then this is August 9th 2021 so the year before and then in in February he
posted one thing so he's not very active or he's posting just to his friends right so depending on
what you're trying to accomplish you could always message him I actually been doing I did that in
the past where I would message somebody say hey I noticed that you your post I'm not seeing any
posts here are you just posting to your friends you know if you're building a business online
you might want to consider posting to public and I just say something like that right that's up to
you you don't have to do that obviously it depends on the kind of business you're trying to build but
if I look at this he's got a link right here this is a link to some sort of offer that he probably
has we can kind of lick click it and see what that is let's just give it a second oh it's a funnel
challenge so it's basically the of it probably the one funnel away challenge so it's basically an
affiliate link to the one funnel away challenge so I'm not going to worry about that but but yeah so
you can see that he's not very active right so he might you might think this person is not somebody
to connect with I don't know it's really up to you but he does say that he helps to increase
sales and revenue in your business he's he's got so maybe his profile he's got a link right here
sam's phone for beginner.com so is that his page sale blog for beginners seriously so he's got a blog here contact us he's even got a phone number yeah I guess that is him right yeah that's him so
he's got a he's got a page he's even got a phone number and he's got a skype id right here that
you can find by just going through this process of clicking on things and finding stuff right so that
would allow you to connect with this person if you wanted to right so that's another one let's
look at the next one this one here we had no posts but two comments two reaction commented and
reacted right so now if I go to her main profile you can see that it says help responding affiliate
marketers start their online journey with proven organic framework she's got a Facebook group
and which is might be the same thing here yep that would probably be the same thing and
um she's got another link here book book a call what else and we're just seeing waiting to see
if there's going to be anything that loads up in our pay in their posts well it looks like this
person sent me a friend request that's because I've been using this strategy for a while and what
I do is I will actually engage on the person's personal posts on their page let's just
reload this maybe to see what's going on so the idea like I said is to find new people
that you don't know already the people that are in your news feed they're not new people they're
people you've been engaged with for a while now you might be just starting online
you might be just starting your Facebook uh building a business using Facebook and maybe
this is brand new so anything that you see on your feed is good to go because you're new right but
most people uh that I talk to are not new they've been using Facebook for a while for years for most
of them I mean me I've been using Facebook since what two thousand I think it was 2009 when
I started it's not I'm not you know one of the first users of Facebook but still it's been a
while right and I don't know why it's not loading but anyways whatever I guess it's just another
example but let's close this go back to here but that's how you find the active users you you
just look at who's commenting so here's another post there's another person right here and there's
30 comments here right there there's actually 30 comments so this one you can actually go and look
at all these different people that are here that all these people could potentially be people
that you could connect with they're in the group they're in the group of your target market like
me this I'm showing you affiliates right now right but they're in the group if it's in keto or weight
loss or whatever it is you're doing they're in that group and they're interested in what people
who are interested in the group right so I mean if it's an affiliate if you have an affiliate program
and you go to an affiliate group then chances are they might be open to hearing about your
affiliate program right but if you're if you're trying to sell an affiliate program to people
who are interested in knitting instead of you know maybe knitting products you're not going to
find too many people in there that are interested in affiliate programs right so you got to
go to the group that makes sense for your product your target market right and
it's like it's pretty cool to see how easy it is to find the right people
in groups right but it's still not it's it's not obvious until you go through it
a few times right so that's why I'm kind of showing you right now that you can find people
in groups that are active by looking at who's there now you can like I said you can go look at
the group members list right and Facebook doesn't actually let you see if I go to the members list
right again if we go back to the members list I mean you can I mean obviously you don't want
to do that I had friend head for an ad friend that friend right that's not a smart thing to
do because you Facebook will block you if any of them report you or complain or whatever right
you'll get blocked plus you can't do it more than a certain number per day and there's no point
in adding friends to people that aren't really interested in what you got I mean Facebook is a
social network to start with so sure you can build friendships and all that but if you're trying to
build a business with Facebook then it's not about becoming friends with them it's about having
content that they're interested in and being able to see your content you show you reacting
on their content and all those things right so I okay so I just kind of laid out the process here
so when you're in the group you first let's do a little note notepad here where am I right here
notes nope new new text document call it notes and paste the group in there okay
paste the name I should say okay so how what's the best way to find active
users in Facebook groups right so number one uh find group that your ideal customer is in
right is in number two go jo go join that group join that group great obviously you can join a ton
of groups you don't have to join just one you can have a bunch of groups and number three you go to
that group to that group that group and look at posts and comments number four click the profile
name of who posted and who commented right so you go to the groups you click on those and
then number five check their group activity and their and then and then well let's just do
that like this number six go to their personal personal profile to check their activity
there so by doing these things right by going finding a group of your ideal customer right your
avatar your your target market finding a group that they're in you'll go join that group then
you go go to that group every day basically you do this every day and actually that's the thing go to
that group every day every day and look at posts and comments so every single day so now let's
just say now every day let's do this every day let's meet this one two three four okay so every day so now you want to do this right
so you want to go to the group go to to group to the groups go to the
groups because you're going to find groups right you're going to find
more than one group go join those groups you're not going to have just one group right
probably you're going to find a dozen of them or at least or at least right and join those groups
right so you're going to go to those groups every day and look at posts and comments you're going
to click the profile name of who posted and who commented in the recent posts and they're going
to check their group activity to see if they are active well here's the thing if they posted and
they commented well they're active in the group at least right but then you're going to go to
their personal profile to check if they're active on Facebook if they're actually active on
Facebook or if they're just in that group engaging that group right so that's kind of what
you got to do all the time every single day right and that's that's like a lot of work isn't there
there is a better way there is a better way so if you want to know what the better way is
stick around I have I'm just going to show you a tool that I use that I created that lets us
do this so how does this work so you've got you can have a tool that will give you um it's
it's an ac it's a it's called active group users it's actually a chrome extension you just
install it and then it'll actually give you this information like this it'll give you the list
of people that are actually active so basically it'll just do this for you right it does all
this for you it goes to the groups every day and it looks at the post and comments it it goes
and finds the people who posted and commented and it goes to their personal profile to check
their activity there and gives you a list of the people that are actually active in the groups
right so this is just the first you know there's a bunch of different like whatever all this is
but the thing is that once you have that in your uh once you have that data you can just go and
click on their names and you can go straight to their profile just by clicking click click
click you don't have to you don't have to click on the post and then click on the comment
and then click on the and the thing is that um like this person here he has no
posts it says no post right so me what I do is I go back here and I just put
a note here I said no posts so the tool um does tell you that there's a he's got a comment
on his on his post but there's no there's no posts in the profile so you could I could have
just ignored everybody that has a 0 there but I you know like if I go to this one here whoops
let's go to this one and if I go to her profile now I can see that she's got some posts right so
I can go ahead and engage on some of these posts I can say uh what does she say let the root
cause of fears and doubts offer subconscious and this private group sounds like a great group to join so I'm just
going to say that or actually I should oh yeah let's do that it doesn't really matter the point
is that you're engaging on their personal post you're engaging on their profile you know you're
not engaging on some some post in the group they post it on their profile because they want people
to engage on their stuff so they're gonna really appreciate that right I get messages all the time
from people saying thank you so much for engaging and things like that so that's kind of what
I do here so she's saying here offering three service providers a free one to one 20 minutes of
subconscious revival session to go live like a pro I'm gonna say that's awesome that's awesome lives for years white white I don't know this is the thing right I'm just
gonna I'm not gonna see that while I'm recording I'm kind of like I don't want to spend too much
time with a but normally I would spend time to think through the comment a little bit more um
you know it's uh I want time and budget freedom right and of course I got a typo there but anyways
okay so and uh let's see so that now I've got I've commented on three posts and I reacted on
three posts so then what I do is I just close this and I just go here and I say a comment on
three post and I reacted on three posts so I just save that so now here's the thing
with this tool you you basically the tool does all this for you right all this here all this
well you still have to do this you still have to go find the groups you got to join the groups
but you don't have to do any of this you just do you just use that information afterwards right
so in the tool you can see that there's um if I load this up here you can see there's groups here
right all these groups that I i put in here inside the tool these these are the groups I want my
tool to go find people that are active right so I tell the tool to go do that right there's a bunch
of options other things that's really just a bit if you want to find active people in Facebook you
either have to you know do this do all this or you use a tool that lets you do it as the tool by the
way is you can go find it at activegroupusers.com or I'll paste it right here I have it right here right there you can go to active
activegroupusers.com right so that's where you're going to find the
tool it's a there's a free 14-day trial it's a free 14-day trial right so just try it out
see how you like it see uh and and see if you have any questions you can always reach out but this
is the best way to find active users in Facebook that's definitely for sure all right hopefully
you found some value from this and you learned how to find users yourself and
you know there's a tool for it but you can do it yourself that's all good
