    It's easy to set up a FB page, but people need to think about their goals, what they want to achieve and who will post content. #NewhouseSM4

    Most people get crippled at the idea of content creation and content curation says @Just_Kate #NewhouseSM4
  13. snbouvia
    If you're only curating content, you're just directing people to other sources. Be the thought leader!@Just_kate #NewhouseSM4
