Hey y'all, welcome back to another Turn Down, the Hustle Challenge episode, where we're going to take small, manageable steps to build consistency in your business, and I'm giving you a new tool each challenge to complete Real talk, though. Hustle culture has us all out here thinking that we need to do everything manually, or if it's not hard, then it's probably wrong. But the right tools can take a lot of your plate, and I want to share those with you. This week we're talking about a tool I swear by and you know I've mentioned it before moderation alerts in Facebook groups. It is a lifesaver If you're running a group or if you're planning to build up your Facebook group. If you're running a group or if you're planning to build up your Facebook group, this challenge is going to change how you manage it forever, without even needing to hire an assistant. And if you're already using moderation alerts, this challenge will serve as your opportunity to go check on your moderation alerts make sure they're still working for your business, tweak them and make them perfect.

So why should you take a gamble in looking into this tool? Before I had moderation alerts set up, I felt like I had to live in my Facebook group Like it was. I was a prisoner of running my Facebook group, trying to keep up with all the comments, constantly scrolling, constantly checking notifications, trying to keep up with posts and conversations, so I didn't miss anything important. It was, quite frankly, exhausting and, honestly, it made me not even want to be in my own group. Yes, I just said that, but I think you can maybe relate to me at times. But once I set up those moderation alerts complete game changer. No more worrying about key questions from potential customers that I'm missing, and now it feels like I'm leaving them unread. No more digging through posts trying to find comments of who asked me what or I don't want to miss out on a chance to connect with my group members and bottom line I no longer felt that my group was running me. I could finally strategically run it. Facebook now works for me, pulling the most important posts to the top. My Facebook group now works for me. I go to my moderation alert section and it tells me directly what I need to address first and then I can go into the group and scroll if I have time to catch up. So your challenge this week it's time to move into action, set up or optimize your moderation alerts.

Speaker 1: 3:08

Now. I've actually already done a full, deep dive episode on how I use them, how to use keywords to track and why they're essentially again double downing on it being a non-negotiable. That was episode 18 of this podcast. So if you're thinking, okay, Amy, but how do I set these up specifically? Or I want to dive in deeper. It's one of my most popular podcast episodes. Actually, go, take a listen to that episode right after. I kind of summarize it in this one. Or you can go to the show notes and click and head over directly. But that's episode 18 and that will dive deeper into moderation alerts.

Speaker 1: 3:44

But let's walk through the basics while I got you here. So moderation alerts help you catch any key phrases or words or something that would signal that they need your assistance. You can do that through keywords. You can also monitor like red flag behavior, like spam links. You could set up a moderation alert or keyword for www. So anytime a link is shared in your group, you'll have first look to see if that's an improved link that should be being shared. But the biggest thing is, you can automate your engagement strategy and make sure you answer every question or comment that is directed at you. And, my humblest opinion, if you're running a group, this tool isn't an option. It is a requirement for the longevity of your business. So go into your Facebook group settings to find moderation alerts under the admin tools and insights, and then you can add those keywords that align with your business goals.

Speaker 1: 4:40

Again in episode 18, I give you a full list of keywords I recommend you set up and then adjust shows notification settings to make sure you're getting alerted.

Speaker 1: 4:49

Save it, test it and adjust it as you go along. Also in that episode, I talk about how you can use this for tea parties and how helpful it is for your business. Once you've got your alerts set up, I want you to screenshot them, share them in the group to complete the challenge. If If you're in the product drop organizer club so I can mark you off for your completion or share it on social tag me, I'd love to cheer you on. So I can't wait for you to implement this. I promise if you take 15 minutes to do this today, you're going to wonder how you ever managed without it. And don't forget, if you do want more challenges like this, make sure you're inside of my PDO club, because we're constantly working on ways to streamline your business and free up time, ultimately turning down the hustle.
