    Hello,

    A social business is more than social media and the Likes of Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, G+ etc. Yet, it's a term that's often confused with social media strategy.

    There's an important difference between a social business and a social media strategy. Posting and sharing frequently can be a daunting task, especially when you can't directly measure the effect it has on your sales. This raises a common and fair question: "Why is social media important for business?"
    When social media hit the scene, marketers leapt on the opportunity to more effectively connect with their audience. However, they have always struggled to show tangible ROI for all their tweeting and liking efforts.

    Remember that social media is an investment. Building a reputation within an online community takes time. If you don't see results right away, don't get discouraged! Give it some time - wait at least six months before you decide to abandon a network that isn't working for your business.

    Have a nice day

    yes this strategy works very well, you get highly targeted traffic, but when you are putting so much effort you must make sure that there are no loose ends, you should make an guide or ebook related to that niche, and use it for opt in's in this way you can gather highly targeted email list's
