It can be difficult to get followers for a brand new page or product that no one has heard of. It requires building trust, growing a following, and then hopefully selling your product or service.Many companies leverage influencer marketing to accelerate this process. Essentially the company will find an influencer that already has a following of individuals that trust and listen to them, then ask the influencer to post on social media about the product.
