With social media constantly evolving, your reach depends on variables such as the time and effort put into social media marketing and management. The determining factors that help you see faster results are your audience, strategy, whether you are using paid ads, your budget, and your reach. It is ideal to take your marketing strategy slow and steady rather than fast as you will not be able to achieve traffic and reap returns. In most cases, social media marketing should take 6-9 months to start showing results.
