🚀 Wake-Up Wednesday is Moving to Google Meet – Join Us at 10 AM!

by

We’re making a big move! Starting this week, Wake-Up Wednesday with BSM (The Twins) will be on Google Meet at 10 AM (CT)!🎉

If you do LIVE videos on Facebook, you probably received a notice from Meta/Facebook informing you that they are purging live videos that are more than 30 days old. With Facebook’s change in policy, we are moving the “venue” for future Wake Up Wednesdays from Facebook Live to Google Meet. I was able to download all of our historical Wake-Up-Wednesday videos and uploaded them to our YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@techsofthelp in case you want to watch (or re-watch) a specific topic covered.

What’s Wake-Up Wednesday?

✅ Industry events & Christian retail tips
✅ Quick 10-minute sessions– no long meetings! ⏳
✅ New BSM features & bookstore insights ⚒📚

🔹 Join Us Every Wednesday at 10 AM (CT)!

Wake-Up Wednesday is a great way to stay in the loop—whether you join us live at 10 AM –or– catch up later. We’d love to see you there!

See you this Wednesday at 10 AM!

In His Service,
