Many often credit computer engineer Ray Tomlinson as the person to have birthed digital marketing by sending the first-ever email in 1971.

Whether it was him or not, no one can argue the fact that digital marketing has forever changed the way we live and do business across the globe.

Digital marketing has evolved and continues to evolve. From computers to the internet to smartphones and more to come, we live our lives through devices in one way, shape, or form.

Oh, the sheer panic of loading your WordPress website to discover that your website has encountered a fatal error.

Sometimes it’s the white screen of death without errors. Other times it’s the white screen of death with a message about a fatal error email sent to your site administrator.

In my most recent case, it was the latter. While it’s good on the one hand to know a fatal error has occurred, such messaging is utterly useless if you’re not the administrator of the website. And this is the case in today’s tutorial.

Entering into domain investing is a bit like playing an endless game of whack-a-mole. It’s all fun and games until you exhaust all resources without ever recovering the initial investment.

The buying part of the equation seems easy to the untrained eye as does the selling domains. I mean, after all, it’s buy low and sell high. It’s not rocket science to do such a thing, right?

Welcome to today’s tutorial where I reveal how to retrieve engagement activity using cURL, PHP, and Facebook’s Graph API version 8.
