    Social media seems to be almost the only way that newbies market their sites and goods offered for sale. It is good and I use it much. It is great.

    True. It's the only platform I know that is very helpful for newbies because it's free of charge. Google ads are somewhat cheap and affordable but as a newbie who does not have that much capital, I don't think it's that good to invest on ads especially if the probability of bringing people to care about your ad is very low.

    It is all right to invest in advertising when your site is already earning so that the overhead will be covered by the site. But for a new site and especially owned by a newcomer in the industry my suggestion is the social media. You can promote your business interest by posting about it occasionally. With a creative post, you can get more sales and positive reactions with just the effort and you need not spend.

    Yes, you are right there. For those who are just starting their business and need to get well-known somehow tend to use the social media world for marketing because it is also the easiest way for them and helpful as well since most people these days have social media account. Potential customers can easily see a lot of products or services offered by many.

    Not yet for the content that I am developing since it is not that much marketing inclusive as mostly I rely on orders that are made by customers. However, I have a shop that will market stuff online coming up and online marketing is something that I have to take advantage of at that point.

    If you are writing for clients, there is no need to market your contents. However, you can market your brand as a freelancer. For instance, you can create a facebook page and promote yourself as a freelance writer. You can even post recommendations and reviews you get from your clients.

    I think that Social media is steadily taking over as one of the most effective tools of marketing today. If you have a good presence on the various Social media platforms then you will very easily be able to market your products on these platforms and it will definitely boost the online sales of your products. If you don't promote your products on Social media platforms then you are likely to lose a large chunk of your potential customers.

    I have started branching out into this and it's already making a noticeable difference in my work life. I honestly think that social media advertising has to be capitalized upon in this day and age. Marketing isn't done by traditional means anymore - I mean, it's still something you can utilize, but you also have to move with the times and understand the world of marketing through social media channels.

    Social media is free advertising. You can showcase your product on your Instagram, Twitter or Facebook to reach more crowd. A lot of big companies now have advertisements in their social media account or even hire celebrities with bug following to advertise their products. Younger generation nowadays are more into the internet than television so if your products cater to a much younger crowd, social media accounts are better for advertising.

    It's such a fantastic thing as well, from a small business perspective, that you can do so much marketing online for free these days. Back in the day I'm sure it was really expensive trying to market yourself through the traditional channels of print media or TV ads. These days, self-marketing is done by just about every business, and it levels the playing field a lot more.

    I think without social media its difficult for you to advertise your product or to see your product to the target market or audiences. For me social media is important as this will give other person an information about product you sell. It's difficult especially for those small business or someone who just started a business advertise in television as it needs large investment for you to advertise the product.

    Yes I agree with you, it would be very hard for small time earners just like me to advertise my product and services if there will be no social media sites because I might shoulder the heavy burden of paying high advertisement cost at some TV network sites. It is good that we have another option to save time and money as well.

    Well if you mean "do I buy advertising space on social media platforms" the answer is yes and no. Recently I decided to start a marketing business for businesses in my area, and I have thought about using Facebook's advertising platform to specifically target those that are business owners in my area. However, there is an issue..

    Facebook's advertising system is very costly, especially for someone who is a freelancer like me. You basically hope and pray that the advertising is success otherwise it is just wasted funds for the advertisers.

    Now in terms of marketing like sharing links, posting groups, having friends follow business pages, etc.. I do not do any of those practices as I feel like that is spam and could possibly make my business image/brand look bad. So I try to steer clear of spamming social media with my business links. I see a lot of this spam, and I personally do not want to get involved with this type of 'marketing'.

    The best way to use Facebook's advertising platform @Everett is to experiment with campaigns at a certain price. Don't dump hundreds of dollars into it right away. Pay the price you want - watch the results, and then decide how to move forward from there.

    There are a lot of people on social media who may never find your website. People who could for that reason never buy what you sell. But it is possible to sell directly to them on whatever social media site they are using or direct those who are interested in what you offer to a site where they will buy what they need.

    Since marketing on these sites costs nothing, unless you want to pay for ads that is, there is no reason why anyone shouldn't market their products or services on social media. Just do it.

    Facebook groups are very effective and efficient in getting you to selling your business products and services without much hassle.

    It's your Facebook group which is run and managed by you. It's more like you are already a celebrity in the group. So, any business products and services which you deem fit to market in your Facebook group will definitely sell.

Also, you may have a wider reach to your customers that could give you good reviews and easier communication with them.

    Social media marketing is also somehow effective these days. In fact, I have a friend who does marketing in the her social media accounts and she said it is quite effective. It may be very effective but it is somehow helpful to gain more potential customers. It is one of the easiest way to market your business rather than word of mouth while looking for someone who might get interested with it. If you just put it in the internet like in social media world where more people can see it then it is a good idea.

    I use a free tool called IFTTT. It helps me automate my social media posting. Right now whenever I post to Instagram, it automatically posts to my Pinterest board. With Pinterest, you can create sub-sections within you pinboard and better organize your IG posts. On Instagram, you can't really create organize your gallery that well except using hashtags. I am growing my followers on Instagram, but I already have a few thousand followers on Pinterest. Might as well share in both places.

    This is my main platform for marketing. The thing with social media is that you have a ready made audience. Unlike SEO or ranking on google which in a way is based purely on luck. On platforms like Instagram and Pinterest you can target your audience directly and get them to engage with your content. However I also think it depends on what niche you are in. Some niches e.g technical niches don’t do so well on social media.

    There is always the possibility that something you post on social media can go viral. That is what anyone promoting products or services on social media should hope for.

    And another advantage is should satisfied customers leave positive reviews on your page, this would boast your sales because potential customers will believe that what you sell will satisfy their needs.

    Of course, social networks do a great job. But I think that for some professions it is more effective than for others. For example, SEO specialists are more difficult to provide quality content in social media such as Instagram, since graphic content often plays a role there. At the same time, an Illustrator or designer can easily create a whole portfolio in Instagram. Using such services as https://boost-social-media.com/, it can get good coverage and customers in the first weeks.
