Could your church or business do with some help on Facebook marketing?

New Facebook marketing guide published

Musicademy resident social media expert (and Musicademy co-founder), Marie Page, was commissioned to write an extensive practical guide to Faceboook marketing by leading digital marketing website SmartInsights. Here it is made exclusively available (without the need for SmartInsights membership) to friends of Musicademy. You’ll find lots of insight into how Marie uses Facebook to help with Musicademy’s social media marketing strategy. The ebook is 114 pages and 25,000 words – really packed with ideas and case studies to help improve your Facebook marketing.

This second edition is bang up-to-date and was released in October 2013. You can view some sample pages and buy it here.

Why is Musicademy selling this? What on earth does it have to do with worship?

Marie regularly speaks at Christian conferences such as Breakforth, Canada on topics to do with digital marketing and social media. Of course in those seminars she makes it very relevant to churches and Christian ministries, but the principles behind good Facebook marketing practice are the same regardless of which market you are working in.

So if you have a church Facebook Page or work in marketing and want a helping hand with improving what you do on Facebook, check it out.
