‘Why Set Up A Facebook Group?’ – Tweak Your Biz

Derbhile Graham says, “When you’re on social media, it can feel as if you’re drowning in a torrent of information. It can be hard to sift out the useful pieces of knowledge from the pictures of cats and the updates about the contents of people’s meals. Social media gurus speak of the importance of interaction, but social media can feel like a warehouse party where everyone is shouting at once.

‘How ‘Micro Marketing’ Can Create Macro Results for Your Brand’ – ‘Entrepreneur’ Blog

Eric Samson says, “Global ad spending is predicted to reach reach $662.73 billion by 2018. Unfortunately, a lot of those dollars will go to waste.
