Posted on the 12 September 2016 by Ana Hoffman @AnaTrafficCafe

Don’t have the time to read all the marketing news, blog posts, announcements, and other content related to SEO/social media/online marketing published each week?

I’ve got you covered.

I sift through trillions (well, hundreds) of online publications to stay on top of marketing news that might affect your online business.

And I package them neatly in bite-sized chunks in my Weekly Marketing Skinnies right here at Traffic Generation Café every Saturday morning.

…Or Monday morning, like today. 😉

Now grab your cup of coffee and let’s catch up on the marketing news that matter to your business.

This will be a very quick read!

Facebook is giving Page owners a new way to collaborate: video cross-posting.

It’s FINALLY here: Instagram photos and videos get pinch-to-zoom!
