10 Facebook Live Tips to Follow Before, During and After Your Broadcast from Sprout Social: “What better way to display your brand’s human side to your customers than to showing the people behind your company? The arrival of Facebook Live changed the playing field for content development in the online world. More people than ever use live streaming, with Facebook video posts growing by around 94% a year in the US alone. If that wasn’t compelling enough, Facebook Live videos experience three times the engagement of typical videos shared on social media, with millions of users tuning in around the world.”
How To Prepare For A New Year Of Blogging from Blogging Wizard: “For most bloggers, December is the month where traffic starts to nose dive. After all, it is the holiday season. It’s a time to reflect on the events of the past year, and spend time with loved ones. With traffic nose diving, you could publish less content towards the end of December – especially considering your posts may not get the traction they deserve. Makes sense, right? But that doesn’t mean you should stop working on your blog entirely.”
