Can Social Media Replace A Website?
Having your own website is still recommended for the additional credibility, control, and customization a website gives you.
However, if you’re a salesperson for an organization, a real estate agent, an artist, a coach, consultant, or someone who is just starting out, you might be looking for a stragety to get results fast or to test a new market.
Instead of investing time, energy, money into building a website for that untried new business idea of yours, maybe you want to see if anyone’s interested in your new idea.
Here are a few strategies to try to gain an audience and a following:
Naming
When you sign up for social media accounts, you will have to name them.
If you later want to develop a website, check and see if the name you want to use on social media is available as a domain name.
Accounts
Search your ideas for social media account names using the Username Availability Search.
Then create social media accounts on websites like: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, SnapChat, TikTok
Interact
Interact with others by posting helpful content, joining groups, and messaging and following others (when appropriate).
Facebook Page
A Facebook business page is different from your personal profile. To advertise on Facebook, you need to create a Facebook business page.

How long will it take to get meaningful results?
Don’t want to wait for results? Advertise
Before you advertise ask: what is your goal?
When you run ads on Facebook and Instagram, you are given a choice of marketing objectives. (Instagram ads are purchased through a Facebook ads account)
Do you want more sales?
Do you want to build an email list?
I suggest you use social media to generate leads.
