Well I believe social media's is very huge when it comes to running your online business. Especially Facebook, I've seen alot of people run ads on Facebook and reach alot of audience and increase in brand awareness.
But that was then, right now alot of people are complaining about Facebook ads I really don't know why, for me I use to believe Facebook ads convert well, but recently someone complained that Facebook ads doesn't reach potential customers anymore

I have never used Facebook to run ads before because I don't own a website. Facebook, for me, is the oldest way to bring traffic to your website. Because it is used for some unscrupulous activities, many no longer trust the system. People are now diverging into other networks like Twitter and Instagram for better reach.
