Building the Machine: AFP offers classes on Facebook Live

Marketing seoFor five years, Augusta Free Press has offered classes on marketing, website design and social media to the local business community in Augusta County, Staunton and Waynesboro.

This fall, AFP is taking the classes to Facebook Live.

“This should make it easy for anybody to take part,” said Chris Graham, the president of Augusta Free Press LLC, who teaches the Building the Machine classes for AFP.

There is no cost to participate, and you can sign on from wherever you are – in your office on your desktop, via mobile or tablet.

As has been the case for the past five years, the classes will begin with instruction on a specific topic in marketing, web design and social media, and offer plenty of time for question and answer.

“The difference is the convenience, for those taking the class and for us, honestly,” Graham said.
