No, money does not directly translate to success, but it certainly aids in driving it. And in the world of communication, any effort toward promoting your content helps. Even within paid social media marketing there are strategies that need to be correctly implemented. No matter how much money is invested, well thought-out and genuine content is always the goal. Paid social media marketing should not replace your effort to maintain genuine relationships with your customers. It should be a tool in guiding your success in those genuine relationships.

Paid social media marketing is the momentum behind that movement. It builds visibility and brand awareness. When done so correctly, it generates clicks. It works. It has revolutionized the once immeasurable industry of public relations.
