By JonasPosted on January 28, 2022January 22, 20225min read827 views

Social media marketing (SMM) is the use of various social media websites like Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, etc., to advertise your products and services over the internet. The primary purpose of social media marketing is engaging with your followers and target audience, increasing your website traffic, etc. These days, most businesses, small or big, like to promote their businesses on social media. One of the most significant advantages of SMM is that compared to traditional marketing strategies, the former is much more convenient and cost-effective. Start-up businesses who are still not versed in the business world can make an easy start with SMM on their path to success.

However, while it sounds easy, one can get lost quickly if one doesn’t have the proper practical or theoretical knowledge of SMM. Luckily, there are hundreds of books available in the market that can help any beginner or even a skilled business person grow.
