Tell a story with your Facebook page

1. Experiment. What may have worked three years ago may not work today.
2. Facebook Live is a great way to tell a story honestly and invite your followers into your world.
3. Your Facebook strategy should get your followers to engage and ultimately to become advocates for you.
