Hey my friend! Jean-Serge Gagnon here and today
we're going to talk about becoming a group hacker what is a group hacker and how can you be one why
would you care we're going to talk about what it means how you get there and also the tools that
you'll need and where to get those but first this So the real question is this: What are the
strategies, techniques and tools that you need to learn to generate residual income from
the e-learning boom that's happening right now? My name is Jean-Serge Gagnon and welcome to
Course Income Secrets… so a group hacker and that sounds pretty crazy right you might
think it's something illegal something wrong because the word hacker has negative
connotations but I'm not talking about being a hacker in the negative sense of
the word I'm talking about being a hacker in the positive sense and we're going to
get into that in just a second before we get into that I want to remind you if
you're listening to the audio of this you're going to want to definitely go check out
the blog post and the video at cis380.jsgagnon.com and you're going to want to make sure you listen
into this or you watch the video till the end because at the end I'm going to show you where
you get your copy of group hacker or active group users actually what it's called which lets you
become a group or packer without wasting all your time doing the work manually and it's a free tool
but I'll show you where you get it how to install it all those different things and but first let's
show you what a group hacker can do and what I mean by being a group hacker so let me just oh
actually I should have well here let me share my screen here and I'm just going to log in first
uh where is it screen and there we go okay so active group users chrome extension I'm just going
to log in here and I'm going to show you what uh what the data and how I use it looks like so
if I go back to my data here so once you have used the extension you're going to be able to do this
now what do I mean by a group hacker I'll show you in a second a group hacker is somebody who
understands who is the most active in the groups who knows how to connect with them who knows about
Facebook engagements process and how it works attraction marketing personal branding so you've
got a lot of you gotta have a lot of knowledge about the online marketing about social media
marketing but the secret is that even if you know all those things there's so many things you can do
and you know as you know Facebook has changed the game a couple years back they started putting all
their marketing efforts on groups right so when you go to Facebook so say I go to to this person's
profile here when you go to Facebook you can see uh in your feed like this is a well actually I
should have went to yeah let's just go to Facebook straight Facebook you're going to see now there's
this new icon right up here right which is groups and when you scroll your feed you're going to
see posts about groups or you're going to see somebody posted in the group you're also going
to see regular stuff but you're going to see that people have posted in groups if I go here
it's basically what they call the group feed and the group feed is all about post in
groups that you're part of right so if you're if you're in like you know 10 groups or a thousand
groups Facebook chooses things to show you based on engagement based on what's happening so you
know you can you can go to these groups I can go to these groups they see right here I can
look at this particular post and I can comment on it obviously and I can go to the groups that
it's saying right here right I can go to this successful introvert entrepreneur community here
I can go to google chrome extension developers I can go to you know c4 network course creator
coaches and consultants I can go to online marketing made fun right so all these groups are
showing up in my feed because I'm part of those groups right I can go straight to the groups by
you know adding them in my my little bar here and when I say hack group hacker what I mean is
okay so first there would be two different kinds of group hackers there's the group
hacker who uses it for their own marketing to find people in groups that they're members
of to be able to engage with connect with comment on their stuff and do things to find but
what you do is you engage on the people so let's just do that if I go for example into I know one
group that's pretty busy let me see which one ah how about how about this one I'm into course
creation so let's go to organized course selling mastery by carl this is carl purnell that's
his group if I go to his group he's got 3.2 000 3.2 k people in this group right so I can
see here that carl is posting all the time right carl carl carl over here carl over here carl
here he's posting all the time that's and here's somebody here somebody else gordon paul
so the thing is that as a group hacker you look through this and you see who is actually
posting all the time this is the admin but what you're interested in is what kind of
activity is going on in the group why do you care about that because the people who are actually
active in the group like if I look at this post he said brain fog to offer epiphany right so you
got a whole bunch of posts here well not a whole bunch but I guess you got five or so people that
commented on this post so this person here kimmy if I open in a new tab I'm going to open the other
person here ulek zurich so these two people right these two people are people who are were active in
the group who actually commented on a post in the group they're in this group which means they're
probably interested in course creation so they would be in my niche so if you're into weight
loss or anything like that obviously the groups will be based on who you're interested in who is
your target market right and uh and so oola as well over here but the thing is that look look at
that these two people have no posts why oh this is a sorry so this is the group so that what you want
to do is you want to go into the view main profile I'll go do the same thing here to your main
profile okay so when I look at their main profile actually maybe this one oh yeah she's
posting okay so this person here right this kimmy she says she's into kitchen dancing music
loving ncfc sporting marathon running pissed bashing I don't know what that is fizz
is sipping so maybe drinks one you know I don't know what she means by fizz sipping but
you look at her post you see August 11th you see August 14th and October 14th update
her profile picture and you know the posts are basically you know so if you're into online
marketing you understand whether they're posting you know things to attract customers or whether
they're just being Facebook posting right so that's what you would do you would go through
their profile and see whether they are your target market or not and the thing is that you will
engage on these posters send them a message or maybe send them friend requests I don't
necessarily recommend sending a friend request until you've had some interaction with
their post and they've had some with you but some people do that but anyways that's not
the point the point is you're finding this person you're finding this person through the group
that you know your target market hangs in so as a group hacker you figure out who is your target
market you figure out who where they are and then you go into those groups and you find them and
you engage with them right you engage with them different there's different ways of engaging I
i teach in some other stuff that you engage on their personal well that's what I'm doing right
now so I i go and I look at my list here of people now this is this is what the tool gives
you it gives you a list of what is the post that the people that commented on
stuff and and who's active in the different groups in this particular case as you can see
I got a this is the group right here and the other cool thing too is if let me just show
you here is on my phone on my phone let me go full screen on the webcam so you can see
it but on my phone right let's just do that can I do that can I I'm kind of like okay so on
my phone there you go let's do that so on my phone I've got the same data right I've got the same
data and I can see some notes I put on there and I can also see uh when they did so I can actually
go to say for example I go to one of these I can see the whole you know the
data for that particular person there can I get this better looking there you go I can
see click funnels it's that's the group they're in that's where they found it their profile I can
see the notes I got on there last visit is when I visited their profile what the post is and what
their comment was and when it was right so that's that's information that's available I can also
do it on my on the computer here if I show you my my screen here so if I click on one of these it
shows me the same information for that particular person so as as as you get this data the thing
is that it's not going to be overnight you get this data you got to do it regularly as you can
see right here I've got this one's 14 hours ago um I've got 16 days ago right here so karen he
health which I visited her profile 16 days ago this one diane hoffman's 35 days ago now these
are this is what the tool keeps track of it's not necessarily if I go on my phone without the tool
it's not going to know whether I visited diane hogman's post or content or stuff or not right
this is just what the tool does and as you can see right here there's more than one dying hockman for
example right there's one here there's one there same thing with any other person that's posting
so you can you can learn who is most active who is posting more regularly eventually this
data is going to get more features but for now it's basically you go through your
list you can see right here the zero means that you never visited that person
yet as you can see it says not yet so I can actually click on this person and now
I can go see their profile now the thing is with this tool I don't have to go to the group
and then click the comment and then click the person's profile then click there well the group
profile then click the person's profile it takes me straight to their Facebook profile now I can
see this person here is uh I don't know what this is um I forget what the name of that language is
a hindu or anyways it's not english right so I'm like well I don't know maybe I don't I don't
need to like the thing is that there's so many people on these groups I can say I'm at over
here I'm going to say not english just say not english so I'll put a note here right so I'll put
a note and then that's that's great I've got that now um now I have a note for him so if I scrape
again and I if I if my tool finds him again I'll see this note next to his name I'll know oh
maybe I don't need to worry about clicking it uh that's the that's part of the data that's
available over here um and the other thing you can do too is if you want to go straight to
the post that they commented on I can see right here if I mouse over I can see the ability to
get and retain high paying clients okay what's what are they commenting on what's this post
I can go to this post and I can go find the actual post that they commented on so this is the
post they didn't what outcome do you provide to your clients so this would be I don't know which
comment it was but there's 35 answers here right so all these people commented and this would be
a good post you can actually come in here and you can like you know the comments right I wouldn't
I wouldn't say that replying to comments unless there's specific questions is necessarily the
best way to engage it is something that's taught engagement in groups in the post in the comments
i'd say that the better thing you can do is reply to this to the post right you can actually comment
yourself in the post and I probably are maybe I didn't no normally I always and I always like
it what outcome do you provide um grow their leads and sales by becoming becoming a
group packer okay oh I don't want that there we go okay so that's I comment there and
now I'm in the list of people who are actively commenting in these in this particular you know
funnel hacking live uh group here or no this click funnels official so this is how you find the
actual post now I could be scrolling the feed myself and going through and but the thing is like
I said you're going to be finding a lot of people that like if I look at this one mac kanahan right
here it says can't comment I already went to that profile so I'll just show you what I mean when
I go to his profile right he's got this you know updated discover photo all I can do is share uh
update his profile for I can just share this one here he posted oh that's his cover photo then
there's people posting his birthday so there's nothing on his profile that I can engage on
because he doesn't have his you know his post uh as public he's not set up for people to comment on
this stuff and whatever so his his profile I can't really engage with now I can't even like his stuff
right some some other people have the ability to like and share but no comment he doesn't even
have that right so that's because he's disabling and you know some people they think that's
better because they they just want to connect from a friend perspective but personally I i
don't I don't um do that but anyway so that that I can put can't comment right now you can see
now it says two because I clicked it again right now and it says just now because I clicked that
just now what else can I tell you about this so um yeah so that's basically you have the data you
can access all this you can do this on your phone on my phone if I have my phone here
let's go back to full screen again so on my phone if I go to one of these right I
can actually go whoops where is this so if I go for example to it's I know it's not very
very good but if I go to one of these profiles whoops whoops my hand is
if I click on one of these oops okay so if I click on it basically opens
up Facebook goes to that person's profile and I can go and engage on two or three posts
which is kind of what I do I go here and I engage see I love this one and I commented I
loved this when I commented so that's what I do right and then I just on my phone I can just
down the bottom here I can just close that little little thing right there there and it goes back
to the list right and then I go to the next one next one right so I do that that's kind of how
I use it so the thing is that even though it's a chrome extension you can install it on your phone
you can still use your phone browser once the data has been gotten and I you know I do that I have
like you know half hour in the morning right like you in the morning you're doing nothing you just
got your phone and maybe you're sitting somewhere right so during that time instead of just
scrolling the feed and just randomly looking at stuff I use a tool to go find the people that
are active in my group I'm a group hacker I get the data and I use it to connect so what's
happening with me and some of the people that are using the tool if I look at the if I look at the
leaders here these are people that are using the tool as well right so you've got sheila cecilia
alice corey alvin tim's here zz over here so these people are all using the tool right now this
is how many times they've they've done a scrape in the last seven days this is total you know for
me obviously me I'm like super big numbers because I've been using it for the longest I created it
but you know if I look at how many um you know this is the number of runs that were done in the
last you know 30 days the last seven days right so and uh so yeah so ls7 right here c7 um four for
sicilian three the last seven days but so that's anyways and this is this is a leader board
to to win stuff but if I go back to data that oh I've oh my god I haven't I wasn't sure in the
stream let's go back to the to the leaders then so if I if I show you I was showing you the top
leaders here the number of times they've used it myself I'm got a super big number there but this
is basically who is using right alice cecilia sheila alvin is easy these are all people that
have used the tool there's you know more people um that are in the in the platform using
it and if I go to uh this is where you would find out more about it let's just
put the link here this would be actually activegroupusers.com right and let's
just put the link on the screen here yeah so it's activegroupusers.com so you can
go there to find out more about it to actually get on the free trial to learn more about the
tool what can it do and get on the um there's actually a contest right now right now I'm giving
away free licenses to 10 people from this just from this there's a if you get on here on this
list you have a chance to win a license for life and I'll kind of show you how but even then
there's a there's a free version whatever but yeah so the full license though lets you do lots
of different things that the free license doesn't and when you first install you get a 14 day
free trial with with all the features and and yeah so that's kind of how this uh this
software works kind of show you how that but that's basically being a group hacker is all
about being able to figure out who is most active in groups so you can engage with them and you can
get more sales and the the where you get it right like I said you get you come here and you put your
email you'll see you'll get the link to install it and everything but basically what it is is a tool
that goes uh that installs in your chrome browser you get this little icon up here if I click on it
here let's get this let's get that out of there right now but if I get this here you see that
it gives you an option to enter an access key and if I click on this it'll go to the page where
I get my access key I was just going to click on view access key and this is my access key and
it just copies it and then I go back to here and I log in now by the way I'm going to change this
access key as soon as I've done this recording so you can't use my account right so you can see
right here now I have uh the same information or some of it and the data when I click on view
data it takes me to the page that we were just looking at right and then let's see what else can
I show you so I'll just load that up here as you see the data is loaded up here um what else can I
show you so once you have it installed you got to put in groups you just put the group up here you
go to Facebook and say you want to you want to go back to my groups here my group list say I
want to use affiliate marketing group right here I'll just take the link here I copy it and go
into my extension sorry and then I just paste it right there I click on the add button right
right now it's not going to let me add it because I already have maximum groups all the groups
I have in here are here right but yeah that's kind of how you do it after you've got the groups
installed the group set up let me log out here and use a different account let me just go
into here I'm going to go find let me just go back to here I'm going to go find an
account a test account I have which is right over here where is it there's let me just find it here there we go okay so okay
so I'll just go back to the screen okay so now I have the the account I can just go in here and I
can go to my well here let's just go back to here and I just say click on here to go to that right
to go get the key I click on here I copy this key and then I go back to the tool paste it in there
because I didn't want to I don't want to mess up my live account I just this is just a testing
account as you can see I have this group here let's go back to my groups and find a better group
than this one because this is not a very good group let's look at this one this one to
this group here let's add this group to here and then okay so now once you have
uh one or two or three groups right like you can put a bunch of groups but the thing
is that the more data there is you're gonna have a lot of people to go and navigate so it's better
to have just a few groups that are really good um and you'll see why because you see when
I when I look at this data that I have here uh no this one no where's my data I
don't have it anymore I guess I closed it but um but yeah so whenever I have the data
if there's like 300 or 500 profiles to visit I won't have time to visit those all in a day plus
Facebook doesn't want you to do so much activity so fast because it might put you in jail right
so you want to make sure that whatever you're doing isn't um going to you know make Facebook
unhappy right because even though this tool doesn't it doesn't automate anything it still
makes it possible for you to do a lot of activity that you maybe shouldn't be doing right so this
is kind of how this works okay so once you've got the tool installed what you do is you click on the
start and that will basically start start scraping and yeah so let's see what's going on here yeah not sure what's going on but yeah when
you click on the start basically what happens it starts the scraping and it'll pop up a new
little window here which you can resize if you want whoops let's go here but basically what
it does is it starts to go to those groups and it starts to find the data for you on uh in
those groups right so it'll basically load up the groups that I have in my list right
I have those two groups in my list just give it a few seconds here it takes well it's
got a random thing so it can take five seconds 20 seconds depends on how uh the the configuration
so and the reason why it's like that is because you don't want to be going to Facebook and just
clicking super fast because that isn't you know facebook's not gonna be happy I'm gonna change it
so it goes faster right now let me just go in here and go change the options which by the way you
shouldn't really do but if I'm gonna faster right over here it'll tell me you know warning don't do
that I'm gonna change the maximum comments to five and this to three whoops three there we
go five and three and I go back to here I'm to stop again because it's not really running
is it running no that's good and let's start again so there so now it loads up a new tab right like
this it's going to go faster now because the extension is um told to go faster and so yeah
so when you click on start it'll load up and in this case it'll go faster because it's got it's
got the speed set the faster so you can see it's going to the groups then it finds all the posts in
that in that groups and it loads up the post and it goes and finds the comments then it goes and
figures out who their who their commenters are and then eventually closes that window you'll
see it close you see the little number going up right here 15 right and it's going to be done
in a few seconds because we told it to go really fast which by the way like I said you should not
be doing right you should not be doing it making it go super fast because it's not recommended so
it's still now it's at 20 something it's going up here and there you go it's finishing up there you
go it's closed okay so now if I go back to here now it's done it says 33 comments from 28
people now if I click on view data it's going to let me see the data from that from this
scrape which is different data as you can see cell says 0 right here because I haven't
visited those people this is a test account so even if I normally I i would have a few of
these that I've already seen before because if I run it every day I'm going to go and
engage on posts right and I'm going to get the data that going to show who I engaged on
and the secret is as a group hacker you got to be doing this regularly every single day you
can have it you can run it to scrape the data and then and then you go and visit those profiles
so you can just run it and go get the date go it gets data for you and then you go and navigate
to these people's posts if I go here right that's taking me to that person's profile for had
right and I can decide whether as you can see this person here doesn't have any post doesn't have
anything so I would go back to here and then I would just say no no posts right I can just put
a comment here so that next time you know when I scrape and I see that person's again in there now
I can decide if I want to I can go and I can look go see the post that he commented on this is a
comment he says I'm not offering you millions but I will teach you how to make minimum three
thousand 24 hours with your cell phone and laptop and then he's got a link to telegram right
so I'll just click on it to kind of go see and we'll show you uh how you can also
engage on the post if you want right so over here online work he's got this link
right here that's him right here right so if I wanted to I could engage on his post here
because I can't engage on his profile but you know to be honest this probably is a scam or some sort
of fake thing or you know whatever uh so that you got to be careful that I'm not saying to do that
I'm saying if it if it looks like a legit post especially in this group here it's pretty much a
scammy group but if I go to this group this post and I look at some of these people's posts I know
that most of these names right because I'm in that space uh and I can I can go to any of them and
I can do the same thing if I if I was to go to brooke what brooke is a marketer so she definitely
has her own stuff in line and everything's great if I go to her profile I'm going to see a bunch
of posts I can engage on them and everything but let's say she didn't have it she was you know
private everything you couldn't see anything I could go to the post right here and I could
go engage on her comment and say hey you know whatever I would say right to the comment that's
relevant and that's the other thing you got to remember as a mar as a group hacker you should
know that you can't just do random comments on people's posts you gotta put thought out comments
something that's related to the post so that they see that you actually care and took a few moments
to see what their post is about plus Facebook also has an algorithm that identifies how long you've
been on a post before you comment on it and all this stuff is all this crazy amount of data
that they captured and based on what you do it affects how much Facebook rewards you by showing
your stuff to other people in their feed so that they eventually come to you and that's the whole
secret is you want people to come to you based on your content and based on your comments on
their posts whenever you comment on their posts you're not trying to it's like it's like going to
a barbecue you're not going to go to the barbecue and just start pitching your thing if you do
that nobody's going to want you at the barbecue and nobody's going to want to talk to you in the
barbecue if you want sales and you're you know you're not going to do that because that doesn't
work you're going to just have conversation with people you're going to you know comment on their
outfit you're going to comment on their baby you're going to comment on their game whatever
their whatever is happening right if they're you know whatever the activity is right you're
gonna you're gonna have become a friend right you're gonna engage you're gonna comment and if
you if you go back to that barbecue that monthly barbecue in your community and people start to
see you and they see you as the person who's you know having conversations he's fun to be around
with asks nice question cares about you they're gonna start to wonder what do you do and then when
when they find out what you do they're gonna be you know interested in finding out about it
because you're nice to them if you're not they won't care they won't care about what you do
and so that's why it's important for you to not just randomly comment you gotta take time
to look at what they're saying so that's part of being a group hacker is knowing what to
comment on people's stuff so that they see that you care right and Facebook does that too all
right so whenever you're you know looking at a group you could like I said you could just go
to the group and you can scroll through the group and you can look at the people's com people
commenting right mark over here uh danielle over here alan over here all these
people commenting on these posts in this group so that's how you hack a group
you go in the group and you go find the people that are actually active I mean even though this
group here this uh sorry carl I don't mean to pick on you but you have an amazing group by the way
if you're ever listening to this I certainly do think your training is fantastic and people should
definitely get your training but what I want what I'm teaching right now is how to find people that
are in your target market using groups like this so I'm in course hosting I mean you know course
creation that kind of stuff as well just like carl is and this is amazing group that he's got
I can actually you know I'm not gonna go and talk to jimmy here and send jimmy a message say hey
I got a platform that I could sell you he's not gonna be interested in that I'm gonna sound like
some sort of sleazy sales person right but if I go to his profile and I engage on his stuff and just
you know be a genuinely interested good person if he ever is like who is this because you can see me
in my his notifications he's gonna see me in the comments he's gonna see me you know he's probably
gonna even start seeing my post in his feed even if he doesn't see my post chances are that
after me doing a few things on his page he's gonna want to go check out my profile so he's going to
see what I'm about and that's the idea you get you do that to these all these different people
right that are active that are actually alive that aren't dead right because when you look at a group
like this that's got three thousand two hundred members there's not going to be three thousand
people active there's just a handful so how many are there and if you're a group admin if you're
a group of men you can also use this to find out who's mostly active in your groups and you know
kick out people who are not active now there's ways to do that with Facebook but it's not very
well done uh the best way is to use a tool because the Facebook tools doesn't really give you as
much information now if you're interested in that that's the next I'm working on that tool so if
you're interested in getting access to that let me know because I would love to have group
admins that are busy that want to figure out how to hack their own group to get the data that
they need which is different than a traditional group hacker who's just trying to build their
own sales by finding people in groups of their target work all right hopefully that uh you and
you found this useful and interesting and if you are if you want to learn more about active group
users like I said you go to activegroupusers.com and you just fill in your name and email
and you'll get information in your email you can also look at obviously what's on
the on the on the page here but uh yeah that's it for today hopefully you enjoyed and
