Need help deciding between Facebook Group or Dedicated Platform to host our community
I need to decide whether to build our community on Facebook Group or a dedicated community platform like Jatra, Discord or Circle.
I am inclined towards Facebook Group because most of our customers already have the app installed on their phones; so getting them on the community should not be a problem. I am however aware of the downsides of using Facebook for community building.
Facebook won’t give us organic growth and flexibility. It requires you to spend on advertisements to reach out to new users; or rely on referrals.
Dedicated community platforms can solve this problem; but it could be difficult to onboard initial members.
I would really appreciate if you could share your thoughts on this. Help me make the right choice.
