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 (almost) every Saturday morning.
Now grab your cup of coffee and let’s catch up on the marketing news that matter to your business.
Social Media

Facebook Live is coming to desktops.

Twitter added notifications for Periscope live streams.
Do you (or do you want to) provide customer service/support via Twitter? Read this. (don’t skip over this one; might be a good one to consider doing!)
New on Instagram: save the photos and videos you post to your stories to the camera roll by default, plus mute stories.
Instagram has also rolled out a new keyword moderation tool to help you filter out comments you find offensive.
Best way to manage your YouTube channel on the go: the Creator Studio app.
The new social media network, Gab, promises its users almost total freedom of speech.
