Since the largest social platform on the planet introduced video uploads, the Facebook executives have said they don’t want to run “pre-roll” ads (the ads that run before you get to watch the video, kind of like on YouTube) — because users don’t like them. Well, guess what? Facebook is going to begin running pre-roll ads starting in 2018. But wait! Don't panic just yet. This doesn’t mean your Facebook News Feed is going to [...]

Originally posted by Mashable, the news rocked the world of Facebook Fanpage owners. Just a little over three weeks ago, Ms. Kerry Flynn (a Mashable editor) wrote: The social network last week officially launched its secondary news feed called Explore. The feed generally features posts from Facebook Pages users don't follow. NewsFeed, meanwhile, hosts posts from friends and Pages users do follow. But that's not true for everyone.

The following is a guest blog entry from one of our readers. Thank you! I wish I could tell you that making money buying and selling fan pages is a slam dunk and an easy way to make a few bucks every day. Unfortunately, if I were to tell you that, I would be flat-out lying to you. Buying and selling social media assets is not much different from any other kind of business you [...]

If you are looking to make money buying fan pages low and then selling them high to a professional or a business buyer, you have to know how to pick out winning pages. You have to have an eye for the kind of pages people are willing to pay top dollar for. With that said you cannot neglect the other side of the equation.

While Facebooks groups have always been around, prior to this launch, brands themselves [...]

Just like with anything else in life, there's always a right way and a wrong way of doing things. That's just the way it is. And unfortunately, if you are thinking of buying and selling social media accounts, it's too easy to do it the wrong way. Really. It's too easy to get your wires crossed and end up with less money than you expected. If you want to make sure that you get top [...]
