Tutorial
Most everyone understands Facebook maintains strict community rules and standards regarding advertising on their platform. We have always respected their rules and will continue to do so. With that said, Facebook does allow links to purchase products within their guidelines. Our group policy has always restricted purchase links for the simple reason that no one should profit from our unpaid work. We now offer a "Premium Membership" on our website to industry professionals. Industry professionals are automatically qualified to become group experts in our Facebook community due to your industry knowledge and experience. Group experts are allowed to post purchase links in the comment section of our Facebook Group enabling you to sell your products and services to a large and growing community.
