15 Best Facebook Groups for WordPress Bloggers to Join

Running a blog can be lonely. You may be writing for the public eye, but what makes your blog tick is just you or a small team that you’re a part of. Even the best of us sometimes run into challenges that we just don’t have the knowledge or experience to solve on our own.

You can do it alone, but Facebook groups offer a supportive community so you don’t have to. They are a great place to go with questions and conundrums. Not only that, but you can build friendships with other people facing the same struggles as you, give or seek recommendations for products and tools, and even spend some time mutually promoting each other’s work.

Best Facebook Groups for Bloggers

Here are fifteen great Facebook groups to join if you are a blogger using WordPress, whether you are just starting out or looking to grow your successful blog even further. These groups aren’t WordPress specific, however, as WordPress is the most popular blogging platform around today, there’s a very high chance most of the members of these Facebook groups for bloggers will be using WordPress.

While these Facebook groups for bloggers are listed in order of the number of members at the time of writing, don’t shy away from smaller groups, even those smaller than the groups shared in this post – closer knit groups are sometimes able to offer better visibility than the very large groups.

1. Blogging Boost

With over 21,000 members, Blogging Boost is the largest group on our list, and is very active.

The group offers a platform for supporting one another every day through Q&A threads and celebration threads. One day a week, the group allows self-promotion on the wall. There is a group Pinterest board and a Blogging Boost community on Google+ for additional reach. Also, there is a resource for finding or sharing guest posting opportunities within the group.

2. Bloggers Supporting Bloggers

Bloggers Supporting Bloggers is a very active Facebook group with over 16,000 members. It is a great community for support and discussion, as well as sharing connections that may not be a great fit for you but could benefit someone else, such as a guest poster or a sponsorship offer from a brand.

This group has daily threads members can participate in to promote themselves and others. On Mondays, members can share a recent post. On Tuesdays, they can share a Facebook post they would like engagement on. There is a similar Twitter thread on Thursdays and an Instagram thread on Fridays. On Sundays, there is a coveted feature for “Blogger of the Week,” which group members can apply to be featured for.

3. The SITS Girls Facebook Group

The SITS Girls Facebook Group is another super active Facebook group. It is a collaboration between the blogging agency Massive Sway and The SITS (Secret is in the Sauce) Girls.

As the name suggests, Blogging Newbs welcomes new bloggers, but the 10,000+ members are all at different stages in their blogging careers. This means that they’ve been through many new blogging struggles and can help steer newbies through the process. The group offers a platform for collaboration, asking questions, and once a week in a special thread, self-promotion.

14. The Blogging Squad

With around 3,000 members, The Blogging Squad is a smaller group as far as this list goes, but that doesn’t make it any less valuable.

Like other blogging groups, this one features daily promotion threads and offers a space to ask questions and connect with other members.

15. Bloggertunities

Bloggertunities is a group for swapping opportunities, such as guest posts, sponsored opportunities, and roundup features. With just 3,000 members it is a tightly-knit group for seeking advice and promoting your work.

Final Thoughts

Whether you are just getting started and need help setting up, or you’ve been blogging for years and are hoping to reach a broader audience, blogging Facebook groups are a great place to connect with others in the blogging community.

These fifteen groups are a great place to start finding and connecting with other bloggers, but this is by no means a complete list. As mentioned earlier, you may find you enjoy smaller groups best, where every person has more of a chance to have their voice heard. Or, you may prefer the hustle and bustle of bigger groups, where there is no way you will ever keep up with every conversation, but you’ll always have a wide assortment of threads to turn to.
