But there is one marvelous way you can earn it and that’s through social media. Simply, create something interesting & valuable and publish it on social platforms and observe the response that you get.
It’s more than a decade that we have been using social media for our businesses and getting benefitted by it. Your audience is already there on the social media looking to recreate themselves, entertain themselves and get educated on issues that they are facing perhaps and you have a marketing message that you want to convey. And, the idea is both of you share the same platform-Social Media.
Now what you can do is very prudently create some content that can grip the mind of the users and somewhere during the conversation you are making through that piece of content you can convey your message giving a lot of value out of it for your audience.
For now, let’s have a look to a few benefits of social media for businesses if leveraged well.
Organic search presence
It is a fact that if someone shares or likes your post, follows you or pins your post, it impacts your organic search presence positively. The more people endorse your content on social media, the better it is for your search engine visibility. This is why you are often asked to make your posts more valuable by adding valuable content such as blog posts, eBooks, testimonials, case studies and other interesting content to it so that more & more people like and share it.Drive more & more traffic to your website
When it comes to site referrals, social media outlets top the chart not just that they win in witnessing maximum time spent on site. All of us want traffic! Right?

In fact SEO has now become more social.Brand Awareness
