Linked – Facebook Introduces WordPress Plugin for Instant Articles

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

5269295051_31a102e6ae_m_facebookTo be honest, I’ve not paid much attention to the upcoming availability of Facebook’s Instant Articles for all publishers. I know the big “plus” seems to revolve around advertising revenue, and since I don’t have ads at all, that doesn’t appeal to me.

I am somewhat curious about whether Instant Articles could grow an audience more than having a Facebook page for the blog where I share posts as they are published. So while, I will probably at some point test it out with a few articles, it’s not a high priority.

What about you? Are you looking forward to using Instant Articles on Facebook? Why should I be more, or less, interested?
