Hi all! I've had a business page for a while and recently decided to create a group where people can discuss a topic based on my business. The issue is, I can't invite anyone that likes my page to join my group. On my group, when I press the 'Invite' button which comes with the tagline "Invite people who like your Page to join this group", it comes up with the message "There aren't any fans to invite at this time.". However, I have nearly 1000 people that like my page? Has anyone had this issue before and know how to fix it? Thanks!
Hi Greenhorn, I got the same message, trying to set up a group and link my page with 1600 followers to it. My page though has recently been shadow-banned. Could that be the reason? I am apparently in FB jail. :-( I searched the internet for a solution but apart from you, I found noone experiencing the same kind of problem. One can get shadowbanned because one posts too much in too little time, but also for political content. This can last a day, two days, a week up to six weeks, I read. FB won't tell you. I think this is the reason our groups can't invite our fans, because our posts are hidden to them. Our entire fanbase is locked off from our page, as it were. Only people visiting our page can see and like our posts. Did you in the meantime, find a solution? All the best Nilufar
I’ve been struggling with the same issue. I have a ton of people who liked my page yet when I go to do an invite it gives “there aren’t any fans to invite at this time“. I have found no fix for it and also can’t find anything anywhere else but here on this forum.
By the way, fastest way to increase group members is to join some other groups in same niche, become friends with some of the most active members in that group. No need to invite them to your group. If you invite, even better. Do the friendship thing and see the magic! My group was created 2 years back, 8 members I invited. It remained at 8 members for 1 full year. Then I did the above mentioned, and in less than 1 year I got over 5000 members in my group.
