Monday Marketing Minute: Does Facebook Live Mean the Death of Periscope?

We're witnessing the dawn of a new era for social media. People like me and other online marketers are celebrating in the streets, while business owners are going “Ugh! Another thing to add to my business…just great!” Whether you're happy about it or not, video marketing should now be at the forefront of your social media marketing strategy.

So, what does this mean for you, the entrepreneur? There's so many tools out there to get the job done, especially with the popularity of Periscope and Facebook announcing “Facebook Live” where you can stream from your Facebook Business page.
