Once you've identified the right social media platforms, you can start using them to build relationships with potential customers.
It's important to remember that there is a big difference between creating a relationship and just spamming your network with information about you and your company. When you create a relationship, you take the time to connect with others on a personal level and build trust. This can be done by sharing relevant content, engaging with others in conversation, and providing valuable insights. Remember, the insight needs to be valuable to your audience, not only you.

So which approach do you think will be more successful?
The answer is clear - creating relationships is the key to success!
