Increase Facebook Reach 742% Without Ads (That’s Not A Typo!)

December 29, 2014 by Jan Kearney

How I increased my Facebook reach by 742% and more with little videos

It’s no secret that Facebook reach has declined so much over the last year that updates barely reach Page fans without some work.

What is Content Creation?

October 4, 2012 by Jan Kearney

Meet Jan Kearney

I believe that every business, no matter how small or how local can use the power of the web to gain more customers. I offer no bull coaching and mentoring so small business owners can strategically put the web to work for their business. I've been called a "compass" and a "navigator" and probably a few more names that aren't suitable for a profile!
