In its infancy, Facebook was used to connect college students to one another. I remember when you used to have a school-affiliated email address to join!
But now, Facebook is known as the sometimes-controversial tool that helps disseminate information all over the world between billions of people. And in addition to that, it’s become a revenue-generating behemoth through its ad platform.
Facebook’s Advertising platform is powerful and helps companies of all sizes connect to potential customers. Whether you’re a clothing brand, a local electrician, or a gym, Facebook (and social media in general) gives you an accessible advertising platform.
