 * [|Login]** to Facebook **or [|create an account] if you don't have one yet**.
 * Type some key words for your group idea in the "Search" box in the left hand column**. You'll want to see whether or not you've actually had an original idea before you create your group. Also, make sure it is something other people would know about and isn't just an inside joke amongst friends
 * Click "Profile" at the top, then Click "Info" from your profile**.
 * Scroll to the bottom**. To the right of the Groups section, click "See All."
 * Click "Create a group" at the top of that page**.

 * Invite your friends by selecting them from your current friend list or typing their name into the box that is provided**.
 * Describe your group in the "Description" area**. Be very specific, as keyword searches will match anything you have written in this text box.
 * Fill out the contact information**. You may decide to enter things like street address and telephone number in the description, or you can just set up a Facebook email for your group.
 * Choose your privacy settings**. By creating an open group, anybody on Facebook will be allowed to see posts and join the group. A closed group will allow only invited members to see posts or join, but anyone on Facebook will be able to search the group. A private group means that only those invited will see the group, including all its members and posts.
 * You can also take this time to choose the membership approval and posting permission options.
 * Click "Save"**.
 * Roll over the top bar of the group**. Click on the image of a Photo in the top right and choose "Upload photo."

Getting People to Join Your Facebook Group

 * Include as much information as possible**. Include locations, contact information, websites and phone numbers. This allows group members to associate the group to an actual person.
 * Make your page a community**. Allow anyone to post on the wall of the page, start discussions and upload photos/videos
 * Make your group public**. This will allow anyone on Facebook to join your page. Once you've obtained significant membership, you can restrict the privacy settings a bit more if you choose. You can also remove particular group members at any time if necessary.
 * Use your existing Facebook friends**. Reaching out to your current friends on Facebook is an obvious way to build up initial membership. It also gives your page a better chance of going viral. Once the friends of your friends see they have joined your page, they will likely click on it and may want to join as well.
 * Reach out to your e-mail contacts**. Facebook lets you send group invitations to your friends on Outlook, Yahoo, Hotmail and Gmail.
 * Keep the content as current as possible**. People are more likely to join an active Facebook group. Update the photos, videos, links and new on your page regularly. You can also respond and comment to people that have added content to your group's page.
