  1. What a great read! I like the one with personal branding. I guess this is really important these days now that branding is important.

  2. I only recently found out that I could schedule my FB posts (in FB pages). Very handy. I’m therefore interested in the write-up about scheduling posts.

I have divided the article in sub-topic, that will make your reading easy and comforting.
