We’ve also looked into a question that is at least “as old as Facebook” – How often should we post on social?

So are you ready for this week’s Top 5 news on We are Social Media?

	Add Up To 5 Images And Links In A Single Facebook Ad – Facebook now lets you add up to 5 images and their respective links in one single ad! All you have to do is to use Power Editor (between you and me, you should always use Power Editor anyway.)
	Invite People Who Liked Your Post To Like Your Facebook Page – What if I told you, there is a way to do just that, and built in Facebook too. A discreet – and surely underused- feature on Facebook pages lets you invite people who liked your posts to also like your page.
	How To Start Advertising On Instagram – Sponsored posts are starting to pop all over our Instagram feeds. But how do you start advertising on Instagram? In which countries is the feature available? How much do they cost and, most importantly, are they worth it?
	How Often Should you Post on Social Media? – It’s a “question as old as Facebook“, or at least ever since brands started using social media… “How often should I post on my social channels?”
	Clarks Shoes Launches Campaign on WhatsApp – Do you think that messaging services are not a field for marketers? Well, you should reconsider that. Not only do the stats show that messaging apps are a key player when it comes to user engagement, it’s also where users are most active.
