Soliciting assistance from acquaintances on a photo and video sharing social networking service involves leveraging one’s social connections for support, whether for promoting a cause, seeking information, or gaining feedback. For example, an individual might share a link to a crowdfunding campaign on their profile, encouraging their followers to contribute or share the link with their own networks.
The value of this practice lies in its ability to tap into pre-existing social bonds, amplifying reach and potentially generating higher engagement than purely impersonal appeals. Historically, word-of-mouth marketing has been a potent force, and social media platforms facilitate this on a larger scale. This method can be particularly effective for individuals or small organizations lacking extensive resources for traditional advertising.
