You don&#8217;t even have to show your face: write a post and create graphics.<\/p><p>I would like to show you the most famous social media platforms with the number of their users in Germany, Austria and Switzerland:<\/p><ul><li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Facebook: 55.5 million users (as of 2022)<\/span><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><span>YouTube: 29 million users (as of 2020)<\/span><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Instagram: 39.6 million users (as of 2022)<\/span><\/li><li aria-level=\"1\"><span>Twitter: 4 million users (as of 2020)<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>You see: We live in a time in which you can reach thousands of people via the Internet with your company for free. Therefore: create your posting!<\/p><p><strong>Note:<\/strong> You can also use social networks for sales in B2B marketing.<\/p><p>Later, other free content marketing strategies are possible, such as guest appearances on other blogs.<\/p><p>That means you write a blog article or do an interview about your offerings on someone else&#8217;s blog.<\/p><p>In this way you use the reach of the already established person or their blog for you.<\/p><p>I understand that this will be difficult for you at the beginning because you may not be very well connected yet.<\/p><p>Now that you&#8217;ve created content for social media or your blog, you can place ads on that content. It is important again that you pick up the target group with your marketing strategies.<\/p><p>Let&#8217;s say you sell shoelaces. Then your target group is most likely interested in topics related to shoes.<\/p><p>For example, it makes sense to advertise your shoelaces on websites where you can buy shoes.
