Social media marketers are in a state of constant flux.
Our strategies are constantly changing as algorithms shift and platforms emerge.
One of my best secrets for staying up-to-speed is connecting with other social media marketers.
When you’re part of a community of like-minded individuals striving toward the same goals, you’re able to learn with and from your peers.
Facebook groups are one of the simplest ways to get connected.
