Paid Campaign on Social Platforms
Paid campaign on social platforms is the easiest way to boost online visibility. All the social platforms have paid campaign facilities. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. are the best social platforms for promoting your products and services.
All the social media paid campaigns are not suitable for all the products and all the countries.
For example, if you are selling home improvement, gardening-related products, and your target country is the USA or Canada, and you are going for the Facebook paid campaign, it will not give you the best result. For these products and countries, you should go for Pinterest and Instagram paid campaigns.
On the other hand, if you are selling lifestyle products in Bangladesh or India, Facebook and YouTube are the best 2 social platforms for paid campaigns.
So, before starting paid campaign, you should research the niche, target audience, and target social platforms.
Paid Campaign on Search Engines
All the search engines are offering paid campaign facilities. Google and Bing are the most popular 2 search engines. You can do ad campaigns on Google and/or Bing. The ad campaign is the fastest way to boost online visibility.
