If you're posting in Facebook groups and not getting parents to enquire, you're probably doing it all wrong.
Things I hear all the time:
"I advertise in groups, but there's too many other tutors in there and my post just gets lost. It feels pointless."
Here's the thing - there are over 600 million groups you can showcase your business in for FREE, and plenty have your ideal parents in them, looking for a tutor just like you.
But you're right about one thing. Many groups are flooded with advertising posts every single day. However, the GOOD groups don't allow this because they prioritise community over advertising.
That's exactly where you need to be seen - showing your ideal parents what you do and the difference you make. Not 'advertising'.
**So what's the difference?**
❌ **Advertising** looks like:
"I'm an experienced online tutor of KS3 and GCSE English and an experienced examiner. Spaces available for September. Enquire now."
✅ **Showcasing** looks like:
"I'm so proud of the progress R made in his GCSEs! He went from a grade 4 to a grade 6 in less than 3 months. Well done R 👏🏻"
See the difference? One screams "BUY FROM ME" and the other shows results and builds trust.
If you're stuck with how to showcase rather than advertise, don't know which groups to show up in, or are just feeling a bit lost, head to my free Facebook Group 'Facebook Marketing for Tutors' because I share things like this in there all the time!
