Other than providing marketing tools social media also consists of marketers with thousands of followers which help you to increase your market outreach.

For Example, if you are in a Restaurant business food blogging may help you increase your reach towards the target audience. Famous food bloggers have thousands of followers at a very minimal cost they advertise the quality and taste of your food hence making you grow.

Hence crisp ephemeral content will always withdraw user attention.

6. Keep an eye on competitors
