Work Smarter
What this means for business owners is that we need to work a lot harder to create content and images that appeal to a person and less on trying to sell something. Another way to engage your customers on your business’s page is to utilize groups. If you can get people to ask you questions, that is a great way to create interaction as you answer them.
