15 online platforms that can sell your product or service
A majority of pre-adults and adults in Nigeria get at least some news online (via a smartphone, computer or tablet), and the online space has become a host for the digital homes of both legacy news outlets and new solely online outlets. With the phenomenal growth of online platforms, digital advertising revenue continues to grow, with technology companies playing a large role in the flow of both news and revenue.
Online platforms have several options for reaching their consumers online, including apps, newsletters, podcasts and aggregation platforms. These outlets are also highly likely to use social media as part of their outreach. So, if you want to reach a diverse mass audience, think of these online platforms:
