That depends on your goals! Both websites and social media pages have pros and cons:
Website:
- Pros:
- More control over design and content.
- Can showcase more information and branding.
- Can potentially be more professional-looking.
- Owning the platform creates independence from social media algorithms.
- Cons:
- Requires more time and effort to set up and maintain.
- Can be more expensive, depending on hosting and design.
- May take longer to build traffic.
Social Media Page:
- Pros:
- Easier and faster to set up and use.
- Often free to use.
- Can be a great way to build a community and engage with followers.
- Cons:
- Less control over design and content.
- Limited space to showcase information and branding.
- Reliant on social media algorithms for visibility.
- May not be seen as professional.
Here are some things to consider to help you decide:
- What are your goals? Are you trying to sell products, establish yourself as an expert, or simply connect with people who share your interests?
- Who is your target audience? Where do they spend their time online?
- What kind of budget and resources do you have?
In some cases, you may actually want to do both! You can use your social media page to drive traffic to your website, and your website can provide more in-depth information about you or your business.
