Facebook advertising on a shoestring

You’ve got an interesting project to advertise but your advertising budget is, nil, nada, nothing. An empty box of air is worth more than you can spend on getting the word out. That’s sort of what Frank said when he asked me (and I presume a number of his friends, […]
