We’ve all felt the frustration.
After working hard to gather a few Facebook fans, we discovered only a fraction of those fans saw posts we just shared or questions we asked. Pretty soon “some” people quit posting on Facebook all together.
Today’s podcast guest, Holly Homer, offers a word of hope for our attendees. Since October of 2013, her Facebook page has grown from 13,000 to 500,000 fans. Incredible.
Holly shares 3 tips for growing your Facebook presence. Do. not. miss. this. episode.
