Having written several blogs on the subject of Facebook marketing, we thought it was time to organize a series.  With the changes in Facebook and business, it’s interesting to go back a read some of the Facebook articles.

Some have stood over time, and others — well might have been better kept unpublished. But either way, these posts will give readers an opportunity to read the about the changes and maybe be able to see the future through the past.

Facebook Blog Series:

  10. Scheduled Facebook Posts – For admins of business pages, this was something that was long overdue.  There have always been a lot of 3rd party apps that have given you the ability to schedule and deliver posts, but it always came with the little icon that was telling everyone that it was delivered by a 3rd party app.
