I've tried Facebook for my business,not brought a lot,I can tell you.
I spend money on smaller,more dedicated lines of advertising which has brought me tens of thousands.
Just shows.What's taught in theory DOESN'T always translate in REAL life.
So please,don't ever tell anyone who hasn't Facebook or Twitter not to think about going into business.
As Daemonia said,Inflammatory and that's putting it politely. |
It's all in how you utilize it. Can I ask what type of business you have. Yes I've helped my soon to be sister in law in utilizing social media to grow her baking business. Neil Gaiman liked her Sandman themed cupcakes and retweeted tem on his Twiiter. It landed her a HUGE contract within the week.
Any advertising that's not utilized right be it a poster on a wall or a Facebook ad. You do need the ads and should track the metrics. Just having a simple Facebook account isn't enough for a larger business. You pay to get the amount of notice you can afford.
Maybe your type of business doesn't need to utilize that but yes most modern business especially ones dealing in any type of multimedia or entertainment should be heavily involved in social media. If you don't agree that's fine but t doesn't change the facts.
I'm not a 20 year old college student with no basis aside from theory. I'm a 41 year old man that's ran successful businesses and I understand globalization and having to shift and change with the times.
And yes please if you are going into a new business venture you should know and explore all avenues because you are hurting yourself if you don't. That's not inflammatory it's common sense.
@Pedromonkey I agree that it seems in incredibly bad form of Arrow how quickly Cult got dropped from Arrow. That's wt I'd like to hear more on.
