There's no doubt that social media marketing is one of the most popular marketing strategies around. After all, there are billions of active social media users worldwide.

But what makes social media marketing so popular? In this blog post, we'll explore four reasons why social media marketing is so popular among businesses of all sizes.

1. Reach a Huge Audience

One of the biggest advantages of social media marketing is that it gives you the ability to reach a large audience. There are billions of active social media users around the world, which gives you the potential to reach a huge number of people.

With the right strategy, you can connect with your target audience and build relationships with them. This can eventually lead to more sales and conversions.

2. Cost-Effective

Another reason social media marketing is so popular is because it's relatively cost-effective. Compared to other marketing channels, social media marketing is relatively inexpensive.

You can get started with a small budget and still see results. Plus, there are plenty of free social media tools and resources available to help you get started.

3. Increase Brand Awareness

Social media marketing can also help you increase brand awareness. With so many people using social media, it's a great way to get your brand name out there.

When you create quality content and share it on social media, people will start to recognize your brand. This can eventually lead to more brand loyalty and even sales.

Tictok and WeChat are banned in our country, but we have multiple of other options. Line, and Viber are not much popular (telegram have more users than these).
I am more focused with Whatsapp and Twitter, others will need extra time, and we are all short of time for the use of social media.

Unless you are a big business and you have a separate team to handle your social media activities, it is not possible to use each and every social media platform. You will have to choose a few social platforms based on the demography and use that platform to maximize your promotion. I have a small business, I cannot use all of these 11 social platforms, I can not even use half of these social media channels, I could hire a virtual assistant to help me but I don't have the budget. Therefore, I have chosen a few social platforms. It is impossible to skip facebook because it has almost 3 billion active users. It is also impossible to skip Whatsapp because with over 1 billion users Whatsapp is evolving as the best communication tool for businesses. I also use Pinterest because it is one of the best content curation platforms.

Of the 11, I picked Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

1. Facebook is good because you can create business pages for free, link them to your groups, and Facebook actually sends you advice to help you improve your social media presence and build your brand. The advice is free.
2. Twitter is good because it's very easy to create niche accounts and they don't discourage affiliate marketers.
3. Pinterest is good because they let you create a business account free and they also do not discourage affiliate marketers.
4. LinkedIn is good because it is a professional network and sometimes you can connect with like-minded entrepreneurs.
5. Instagram is good because it's super easy to create posts and to share posts via other social media accounts.

Without them your business is not even possible and so it is crucial for one to work hard till he or she builds a strong online circle

If you want to generate sales, I think Tiktok is the best platform. However, before you can generate sales through tiktok, you need to build followers on the platform. IN order to build followers, you need to become a good video content creator. There is no way you can build followers is all you are doing is singing and dancing, you need to create valuable content, your content should have search element, when someone searches for something on tiktok, your content should be able to pop up on the search results. If that cannot happen, your content are just worthless. In the US, people are using tiktok to search content, if you can make rank your content on tiktok algorithm, you will not only be able to build followers by also be able to generate sales. The second best platform to generate sales is Pinterest. There are a lot of buyers on Pinterest.
