Most people spend 1-2 hours on facebook, thats why most of the online marketer use it to do some promotion .Facebook ad is one of the best and effective way to promote your service or product on wide variety of audience you just need to choice what target market are you looking for base on thier interest, like and wants.
yes, at present almost 2 billion people are using Facebook around the world, this is the massive platform for the promotional activities. if you are able to make well sensible advertisement then there is a lot of groups which can be useful for this purpose. I think this is the most viable and cheapest way to promote any product or anything.
Yup, just last month, Facebook has about 2 billion active users. Which is 17% increase year over year. While Twitter has more than 300 active user, Instagram 700 million active users and YouTube with over 1.5 billion logged-in users spend watching. If you are able to tap just a small percentage of its active users then the potential to earn really big using this social media platform promoting your products.
According to me, the best ways to promote products or links are
Create Craigslist Ads
Built a blog on the website.
Reddit is a good place to market.
Hubpages - it is centralized blogging platform where you can create a hub for just about anything.
Here you can write valuable content and link to your affiliate offers through them.
Create videos and submitting to Videos sites like YouTube or more.
Do Twitter hashtag conversations.
These activities are the best ways to get niche traffic.
Yeah, this is also nice way to promote products. I really like blogs and Hubpages. I used to do that when I still have my website back then. But for me the most effective is those web 2.0 social media now. A blog will literally need a lot of pages and good content to really attract potential customers.
