Do you advertise using social media? If so, on what platform have you seen the best results?

Yes, we actively run social media advertising campaigns across both of our brands—Paysita Finance and Adron Homes and Properties—and we’ve seen varied success based on the nature of each business.

For Paysita Finance, Facebook and Instagram have yielded the best results in terms of reach and engagement. These platforms allow us to promote our financial tools—like USD accounts and digital transfers—through targeted ads, reels, and educational content. We’ve also leveraged WhatsApp integration from Facebook to simplify lead capture and customer onboarding.

For Adron Homes, Facebook remains the top performer for reaching potential real estate clients, especially when running localized campaigns. Instagram also supports our brand visually through property showcases and success stories. Meanwhile, LinkedIn has proven effective for connecting with professional clients and real estate investors.

Each platform plays a unique role, and we continuously optimize based on audience insights, campaign objectives, and content performance.

Honestly in my experience, it depends on which SM platform you can master. I think each platform has its own advantages that CAN make it the best, but it depends on how its used and how well you know HOW to use it. For me its instagram, got on in the first year of development. For my kid brother its tik tok. His generation is getting accustomed to that platform and its use updates and developments.

Do you advertise using social media? If so, on what platform have you seen the best results?

Yes, I definitely recommend advertising on social media—it's one of the most effective ways to reach your audience directly, especially for small businesses or service providers like VAs, coaches, or freelancers.

In terms of best results, it really depends on your goal and target audience, but here's a quick breakdown:

Facebook/Instagram (Meta Ads)
Best for: Lead generation, local businesses, e-commerce, service-based offers.

Why: Advanced targeting, retargeting options, and a massive user base. Lead ads are especially effective here.

What works well: Carousel posts, videos, testimonials, and lead forms.

TikTok Ads
Best for: Brand awareness, products with visual appeal, and Gen Z/millennials.

Why: Viral potential and cheaper cost-per-impression (CPI).

What works well: Raw, authentic content (not too “salesy”).

YouTube Ads
Best for: High-ticket services or courses, or if you have educational/in-depth content.

Why: Great for storytelling and building trust.

What works well: Pre-roll ads and video case studies.

LinkedIn Ads
Best for: B2B services, consultants, and professionals.

Why: Target decision-makers by job title, industry, and company size.

What works well: Lead magnets, webinars, and authority-building content.

If I were advertising using social media, I’d definitely look at where the target audience hangs out most—like using Instagram or TikTok for younger, visual-driven audiences, or LinkedIn for professional services. Platforms like Facebook are great for community-focused content and lead generation too. Success would come from testing and tweaking based on what works—like what kind of content gets clicks, what converts, and what sparks conversation.
