What is social media and why do you need it?

Social media is essentially a group of online platforms where people can connect and engage with one another. There are different types of social media including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Snapchat. The main reason to use social media is to grow your brand awareness and increase your customer base. It’s also a great way to respond quickly to any questions or concerns your customers may have. It’s important to keep in mind that your customers want to engage with a real person and not a brand. So you need to be sure you aren’t pretending to be something you’re not. Social media is also a great way to drive sales.

Having a Facebook page is not enough

Having a Facebook page is just the first step towards building a presence on social media. While it’s a good start, it’s not enough. For example, you can encourage people to like your page, but not follow you. That means they won’t see your posts in their feed, which means they don’t get exposed to your content. That’s one of the reasons why you need to grow your followers. Do note that when you start growing your followers, not all of them will stay with you. That’s a normal part of social media.

There are a few ways you can use to grow your followers organically. - Start by curating content that is relevant to your niche. You can then share this content on your social media accounts. - You can also look for hashtags that are relevant to your niche and join the conversation.
