243 // How to Use Affordable Ads to Grow Your Facebook Group with Meagan Buggey

If you've been putting off running ads because you think you need a massive budget or an agency on retainer, this episode is going to change your mind. I brought on Meagan Buggey — a meta ad strategist who works with female coaches and service businesses — to break down exactly how affordable, simple ads can grow your Facebook group. We're covering: - Why "you need thousands of dollars to run ads" is one of the biggest myths out there (and what it actually costs to get started) - The Meta targeting feature that's quietly wasting people's ad budget without them knowing - Why writing ad copy is nothing like writing content — and the one rule that changes everything - The very Facebook-Group-specific mistake that can cost you access to your entire group P.S. Meagan just wrapped a full hour-long masterclass on this exact topic inside the Group Growth Club — the recording (plus her full checklist of resources) is in the membership now!

242 // 5 Things to Automate In Your Facebook Group

Summer's coming, and so is the moment I turn to my Facebook group and think, "wait, do I actually have to keep doing this by hand?" Spoiler: no. This week I'm breaking down the five things you can automate in your Facebook group right now, so it keeps running — and growing — while you're at the pool, on a plane, or just refusing to open your laptop for twelve straight weeks. I'm covering: The one thing I will never fully automate (and the exact reason a very hate-filled membership request taught me that lesson) The two free, built-in Facebook features most group owners forget to turn on How to keep your group posting every single day without writing a single caption in July The simple $5-a-day strategy I've used to grow my own group on autopilot This episode also kicks off the Automations Challenge inside the Group Growth Club — five days, five tasks, plus one bonus AI automation I've never talked about publicly.

241 // The Content System That Changed Everything

What if the secret to never running out of content ideas wasn't creating more — but reusing what you already have, better? In this episode, Sarah sits down with Jackie Naunton of the Seriously in Business podcast to talk about a content system that completely changed how she shows up online — one that turns a single podcast episode into an entire week's worth of content without the burnout, the blank-page panic, or the scramble to design something new every day. They get into why doing the same thing over and over might actually be the smartest move you can make on social media, the one Canva update that changed everything, and the mindset shift that finally got Sarah off the "I need a new template" hamster wheel. If you've ever felt like content creation is a race to the bottom, this conversation might change how you think about it for good. PS. If you enjoyed this episode, you'll LOVE the full masterclass Jacqui is teaching inside my membership, the Group Growth Club!! She's teaching the Hero Design System in full AND is providing my members a template they can customize to their own business so they can plug-and-play all their graphics and content to create better content in less time!

239 // Your Facebook Group Culture is Blocking Your Sales.

I've talked about content. I've talked about growth. I've talked about sales strategy. But this? I don't think I've ever touched this one before on the podcast, and honestly I'm surprised more people aren't talking about it. Because there's something happening inside a lot of Facebook groups that has nothing to do with your offer, your content, or how often you're showing up. It's a culture problem. And the wild part is most group owners created it completely by accident, with the best intentions. In this episode I'm getting into the invisible dynamic that might be sitting between you and consistent sales, why the online space has trained people to expect things for free, and the mindset shift that genuinely changed everything for me. Key Takeaways: The subtle group culture pattern that quietly trains your audience not to pay you Why giving value and building a buying culture can actually work against each other when the balance is off The nail salon analogy that reframes the whole thing in a way that's hard to unsee What it actually looks and feels like to show up in your group as someone who is open for business Happy Listening!

238 // The One Thing Keeping You From Consistent Income In Your Facebook Group

If your income has been all over the place lately, some months great, some months crickets, I have something to tell you. And fair warning: it's going to sound a little anticlimactic at first. It's not your offer. It's not your sales skills. It's not your audience. The thing standing between you and consistent income is something way more fundamental than any of that, and once you see it, you genuinely can't unsee it. In this episode I'm getting into the real reason so many Facebook group owners can't seem to create predictable revenue, why copying what works for someone else tends to backfire, and the shift that finally made things feel a whole lot less chaotic for me personally. Key Takeaways: The surprisingly boring thing that's likely driving your income inconsistency Why a good month followed by a bad month is actually a clue about something deeper What I learned after six years in business, a lot of failed experiments, and one business model that made me physically ill Why there's no one-size-fits-all strategy, and what to build instead Happy Listening!

237 // Is it really possible to hit $10k months with 1,000 members in your Facebook Group?

You've seen the claim. Maybe it's been haunting your feed too — the bold promise that a tiny Facebook group should be printing you six figures, and if it isn't, something must be wrong with you. I'm here to add some nuance to that. This episode is the context you were never given. Because that statement? It's not the full picture. And the gap between what you've been told and what you actually need to know might be a big part of why you're feeling stuck, behind, or like your group just isn't working the way it should. I pull back the curtain on the two paths to revenue inside your Facebook group, share the story of a client making great money with under 300 members, and get honest about the business model I almost built and why it nearly derailed everything. Key Takeaways: The one factor that determines whether 1,000 members is "enough" and most people skip right over it Why the game you're playing matters more than the size of your group What I discovered when I spent a year trying to build something that wasn't meant for me How to know which strategy actually applies to your offer Happy Listening!

236 // Steward Your Income to Create 7-Figures With Heather Oynes

You're working hard to make money in your business. But what's actually happening to it once it lands in your account? This week I brought in my friend Heather Oynes — money coach and millionaire net worth mentor — to have a conversation that doesn't happen enough in the online business space. Today, we're not talking about how to make more money. We're talking about what to do with the money you're already making, and why that distinction might be the most important one you're not thinking about for creating generational wealth There's a concept Heather talks about that completely reframes the way you look at your finances — and once you hear it, budgeting spreadsheets are never going to feel the same again.

235 // Why Strategic Content Is Essential for Your Facebook Group

You started your Facebook group because you love people. And that's genuinely beautiful. But it might also be the thing quietly killing your results. In this episode, I'm getting a little candid — okay, maybe a little spicy — about something a lot of Facebook group owners are doing without realizing it. There's a piece of the puzzle that's easy to overlook when you're focused on connection and community, and without it? Your content is basically just vibes with no direction. If you've ever wondered why your group isn't moving the needle in your business the way you hoped, this episode is going to make a lot of things click. Go listen. Then go look at your last five posts. Happy Listening!

234 // Mass-DMs, Auto-Invites, & Paid Content. Facebook Group Feature Update!

Facebook just quietly made some moves — and if you run a Facebook group, you need to know about them. In this episode, I'm breaking down three platform updates that could change the way you're running your group right now. One of them is a feature that's been sitting in your settings this whole time, doing something you probably didn't sign off on. Another one? It's the kind of tool that makes you wonder why Facebook didn't do this sooner. And the third is something happening across the platform that impacts how you run your Facebook group. Things on Facebook groups are always shifting, and most of it flies under the radar. This episode is your cheat code for staying ahead of it without having to stalk every update yourself. Hit play — your group will thank you. Happy Listening!
