  Last year, Facebook rolled out the most massive Newsfeed update we’ve seen to-date. And just a few days ago, Facebook announced even more changes that will impact small business owners.

  This is such a big and far-reaching change, that we're having Jeff Nicely, social media marketing guru, host a free webinar to detail these updates and provide information on exactly what you can do to prepare.

  Obviously, these changes will impact the number of potential customers who see your posts, but if you are proactive in changing what you post – and how you post it – you can actually increase the number of people who see and interact with you when these changes go into effect in the next few weeks. Which means more eyes on your products or services, and more sales for your business.

  You won’t want to miss this webinar. Major changes are coming, and we want you to be prepared.
