    Yes it is. I have a website for my local business and all the traffic comes from Google...hardly from the social media accounts I set up for it.

    Yes, it is possible. I have many websites that get 0 traffic from social media but still work great.

    But adding social media to your SEO really boosts your business.

      It is possible. But search engines gives rank based on popularity of your post. To get popular we need to give publicity. Social media is one of the best method to give free publicity. If you don't use it, you are loosing free traffic.

    Social media just makes your product or service more popular if you know how to utilize it. And the best part of it all is that it's free. Without social media you can always blog, use SEO, ppc ads and submit articles.

    I believe you can make money online without social media but it will cost you, social media allows you to promote your company at a fraction of the cost and its hungry buyers.Social media is the future and it is the Internet.

    I have some businesses which get sales only from SEO or referrals, little to no social media for them. But social media is just an additional boost - but I have to admit, not every business requires it. For instance, there's no value add for a Facebook page and interaction for a company selling ball bearings for machinery.

    Yes you can 100% but ultimately somehow you will end up being mentioned on social media. What matters most is what you are sharing, is it value or not and that defines your success.

    Yes it is possible if you have a clear plan how to get targeted traffic for your site. People are making money even not having a single account of any social media platforms.

    I think you can, but only if your product or service is targeted to an older audience that don't use social media sites so actively. However, if your target audience is youth, somewhere between 15-28 years I would strongly suggest creating social media channels as in most of the cases this is a primary source where this age peopl find information they need.

    3. PPC Ad Campaign,
    4. Classifieds Submission.

    Yes, I think it is possible. But social media can help a lot for getting more traffic. Today social media is the part of the business. For creating accounts on various networking sites may be headek for everyone or directly accessing the account may be time consuming, that's why tools are used to automate the services which will save your time.

    For many businesses, social media is no longer a trend but rather a marketing strategy for their marketing. Personally, I think that you are losing out on a lot of free traffic and its a way to reach your customers and engage with them.

    Recently, I have written a blog post about using social media the right way, feel free to check it out: rahimamal.com/blog

    Social Media, or minimally at least
    the use of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram are absolutely needed in our times.

    Most of the success in sales through Social Media came in my experience from Twitter and YouTube.

    If anyone tried to achieve success in internet marketing without social media, he would fail totally. It's like the basic thing nowadays. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn are essential in online marketing.

    It's possible but there is no problem to create several accounts in social media. If social media only help you to do you business then why don't you use them? For me the most popular ones like Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin are a must.
