This is especially critical when it comes to the[ PESOTM](https://blog.k2-gc.com/blog/boost-business-with-peso) model (created by Gini Dietrich), which drives brand awareness, reputation, and sales by integrating Paid, Earned, Shared, and Owned media, maximizing content. *How does social media work for and benefit each of these media channels?* **P**aid Media - Notice all the ads and promotions on LinkedIn and Facebook? Companies can pay to have their content published on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms, getting their solution seen by scores of highly targeted, potential buyers. **E**arned Media - This is the channel for influencer marketing, and social media is the playground where influencers meet their followers. It’s fertile ground for capturing audiences who follow tech experts and want to use whatever recommendations these specialists are promoting. If you can convince an influencer who is active in social media to get behind your brand or product, you’re on your way. **S**hared Media - In the age of technology solutions, social media is key to selling. Multiply your potential sales by increasing your brand’s social media followers, boosting their engagement, and improving customer relationships. Simply produce super-shareable content that gains tons of likes, lots of comments, and loads of retweets. You’ll also expand your audience base.

You boost your credibility every time your content is shared, *and* your audience knows to give the credit back to you. Make sure to brand your content with a logo or other sign to signify that it came from your company.
