Online Advertising Through Social Media – by Ted Dhanik

Online advertising has become one of the most popular and effective types of advertising in recent years.  The reason for this is that people use the internet today more than ever before.  Therefore, it is beneficial for advertisers to take advantage of this opportunity to reach potential clients through this medium.

There are various types of online advertisements that companies can utilize.  One of the hottest growing types of internet ads are on social media websites.  Social media applications have taken the world by storm.  Never before has there been such an easy and convenient way for businesses to reach billions of people at the click of a mouse.  Social media has completely revolutionized everything from communication to advertising to international business.

There are new social media websites popping up every day, but there are a few sites that currently dominate the market.  Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are some of the trendiest sites that have attracted a huge number of members.  Nearly everyone has a Facebook today, and most people use it throughout the day, every single day.  Due to the amount of exposure involved, businesses need to take advantage of advertising on social media.

Unlike other types of advertising, social media advertising basically works like word of mouth referrals.  Many businesses rely on word of mouth referrals to this day because people want to hear reviews from those they trust.  Therefore, if companies can interest users through the content they post, the users will potentially share it with their friends, who will then share it with their friends.  This translates into inexpensive, but impactful advertising for many different types of businesses.
