Social media offers a direct communication forum with your customers and you get to interact with them.

Interaction is the main lead role that plays a vital part in any campaign of marketing to make a sale.

If you do not interact with your customers, you do not get to know the situation and problems associated with them.

If you interact with your customers, solve their minor problems, help them, and educate them you develop trust with them.

This trust then plays an important role when people think "Why should I buy his product?”

The answer to this question you must have provided in the first place to your customers when you interacted with them.

This interaction with your audience plays a vital role in developing customer relationships, trust, loyalty, and selling your service.

If you do not interact and do not communicate with your audience chances are low in converting your audience into your customers.

8. TRUST

Trust is the foundation between you and your audience that will turn into your customers.

Before you sell anything make sure the service you provide is having an aim and number of topics to be covered in case of course.

This should meet the customer's aim, analysis, and the solution that meets the required conclusion.

In the case of the product please make it very clear the terms and policy of usage.

Also, try to explain your audience your refund policy to avoid further disputes.

In short, the service should be up to customers' satisfaction that builds trust between the seller and the customer.
