Social media takes time, and algorithms determine how many people see what you post. On average, only 2–5% of your followers will see any given post, and with business content, pray for 1% if you aren’t creating engaging content.

That’s why on average, email returns $36 for every $1 spent compared to $2.80 from social media and why email subscribers are 3–5× more engaged than social media audiences. Social media builds awareness. Email builds revenue. You need both, but you need to know which one does what.
