How to use social media to promote a business?

What are some effective ways to promote a business using social media? I've heard a lot about these social media managers, but I'm not sure if it's worth paying for such a service when your business is small and need the money for other investments. Aren't you better off doing it yourself? I think everyone can promote themselves on the internet.

I'm just curious if hiring a professional in marketing through social media would guarantee a growth in your business.

Guarantee? Nothing is a guarantee. Ask TommyCarey. He can advise you better than I can.

I think it's a good idea for small or new businesses to use Facebook/Instagram ads even just for the first few months, it's very effective and I've used it before and it really helped me build awareness for my brand because I can target specific groups of people plus if you don't want to spend big money on it, you can control the pricing/budget. Yes, you can do it yourself by sharing it with your friends but I think ads give faster results (if you want quick results). If you're not familiar with how to use Facebook/Instagram Ads, check YouTube.

Social media platform is one of the most common advertising channel any business-minded individual would rather go to. Some social media platform needs investment which would require them to spent few bucks in order to popularize and sell a product. However, while there are costly ways to do it, online business can now be profited without paying money through facebook and messenger. All you need is to upload pictures of online item and you are good to go.

Hiring a professional to handle your social media marketing doesn't guarantee growth. While yes, social media marketers will most certainly help your business gain more exposure, that doesn't necessarily translate to more conversions. My advice would be for you to learn social media marketing and do it yourself.

Whilst you are learning, join relevant Facebook groups. Ask and answer some questions. This is a sure-fire way to build relationships and grow your audience as some of these people will follow you.

It really depends on the kind of business you have and what social media platform/s would you be tapping. But generally speaking increase social media presence means increased visibility which translates to more engagements and thus revenue.

You can do it yourself more so if you're into social media, that's if you're not busy. Because it's a very time consuming and laborious work. That's why most people just hire social media managers to do the job.

You can use Facebook to advertise. Do you have groups you belong to on Facebook? Ask permission from the admins to advertise your goods and services. Share it on your Facebook page and ask friends to reshare. Tell your family and friends to help you share on Instagram and Facebook. Do a giveaway for people to join your Instagram page and invite five people each and u will gather a following. A give away on Facebook would also work, tell them to make a comment under your product and the person with the highest number of likes would receive a gift. You need to create a buzz about your product. Finally, Facebook ads are not too expensive so u could try that out and if you get good feedback, you could pay for more coverage.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I think I have to delve deeper into this. I just wasn't sure how effective would be doing it on my own but doesn't look that complicated if I dedicate time to learn the ropes.

It is very common in Facebook to see a post about their business and the most common business is drop shipping. It is all right to use social media for promoting your business. In fact, it is the most practical way of marketing because posting in Facebook and Twitter is free and easy. However you have to exercise discretion with your posts because it is annoying if you will post your business promotion too often.

I think that you can do it on your own. You do not need any marketing expert for it. You just need to have a lot of patience when it comes to building your own business. What you also need to have is a lot of time. Maybe you could grow your business on social media by making a profile or page where people could buy your products. You would need a great logo or a picture in order for your brand to be recognized among your potential customers. You could use help of some of your friends also. You could ask them to share your page, ask people to check it out and something similar to that.

I think this depends on what you are trying to promote.Your niche will determine what social media platform is best for you to use. You also need to decide whether to promote for free or it will be better for you to pay for ads. The biggest advantage of ads is that they are more targeted. If you want to promote on social media you will need to make sure that your profile is on point, so if you don't have time this is where a social media manager comes in.

Nothing can guarantee you that your business will be successful, but a good digital marketing specialist is always a good start! The niche your business is in is of the outmost importance! It should not be over saturated! Also it is very important WHAT you OFFER to the consumer! Your value proposition must be better than that of the competition!!! You need to be better than them, offer a better product and/or service and than it is the social media managers job to promote it and get people to see it and be aware of your awesome product!

Its true that generally posting on social media can help promote any content/product that you may have, but to ensure that you have a wide audience it is wise to get as many followers as you can on as many platforms as you can.
