Now if you are Youtubers or your influencer, your objective may be different as an influencer or Youtubers you may want to like getting more fans right getting more loyal fans this may be your objective but let’s focus on small business and entrepreneurs so the objective can be like selling more products or get people to trust your brand better so that they can continue to buy from you.
