I think I need to do a bit more on LinkedIn!
Hi Stacey,
Excellent round up here.
I like the Facebook Page update, with live video available on Desktops. Until now I have barely used my Page. But this development has me thinking. 1 thing though; would I be able to do Facebook Live video feeds on my Chromebook? I’ll dig into the article now to simply get the 411 and to see if I can use it on my CB.
Thanks a bunch for sharing :)

Let me know how you go! I usually Facebook live with my podcast co-host and it’s tough trying to fit us both in my tiny screen!
Hi Stacey,
That’s absolutely an amazing piece of content shared over here. I have just read that Pinterest ads article, and now I am definitely going to try this. Moreover, can you also tell me about the latest link building practices of 2017 to build safe links?
That would be great.
Thanks though for this roundup post.

Thanks! What I’ve heard recently on link building is to continue doing it organically. Create great content people want to share. Guest post with genuine articles.
With all due respect, this election was a clinic on what NOT to do for the Democrats, social media included. All the other links were great as usual!
I never said it was successful! I said it was an insight into how they ran their global campaign. We can learn as much from mistakes as we can from successes.
Hello Stacey,
Thanks for this roundup post. The very new thing I have found today is Pinterest ads article, and in the new tab, I have read about it. I found it interesting and now will definitely try it out.
Apart from this, can you please tell me the significance of guest posting?
Hi Pooja, thanks for reading! I think guest posting, done right, can be awesome for finding new readers, being endorsed by authority sites, getting high-quality backlinks to your site, and networking with fellow bloggers. There’s really a lot of positives to the practice.
Hey Stacey thanks a lot for the nice blogging roundup. I particularly like the FB update, FB is taking over the all big video platforms now. Many marketers are using FB live for their marketing & webinars.
