Becoming a member of the Group
Do some checks before you raise a request to the Group admin to become a member. Go through the description of the blog and the guidelines for posting. Most of the time, promotions and ads are strictly restricted. Once you raise a request and the admin approves, start using the Groups productively. Make sure posts adhere to the guidelines or you may be ousted from the group.
The good side of Groups is that not only do you gain knowledge, but when you post good articles or questions or answers, you are sure to get a good following for yourself.
Facebook Groups App
Facebook also has a Facebook Groups App on the iPhone App Store and Android Google Play Store. This makes it convenient to be with your groups on the go!
