Don’t you hate it when you make a typo? It’s even worse when you notice the mistake and can’t figure out how to edit your typo on social media. There are ways to fix typos on every network, although they may not be ideal. Here’s how to fix a mistake on the main social networks.
Are you using all the features of the networks you’re marketing with? Are you really? Check out some of these lesser-known features to streamline your social media marketing efforts.
