Using Social Media to Develop and Drive Business

Social media is now an essential part of digital marketing strategy. Over the past decades, digital marketing has changed the way we do business. Social media is now a major driving force behind the new wave of change. Businesses use social media networks to increase inbound traffic and build brand awareness.

You need to listen to them and engage with them within the social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
