If you want to promote your business online, you have two main choices: free ads or paid ads. But what’s the difference? Let’s break it down in a simple way.

Free ads mean you don’t need to pay any money. You can post your product or service on places like:

• Facebook groups
• WhatsApp status
• Instagram stories
• Telegram channels
• Websites that allow free listings (like iklan percuma)

Free ads are great because they cost nothing. You just need time and effort. But sometimes, fewer people see them — unless your post goes viral or many people share it.

Paid ads, on the other hand, mean you pay a little money to make your ad reach more people. You can boost your post on Facebook, Instagram, or Google. You choose who sees it, how long it runs, and how much to spend.

Paid ads work faster and can target the right people (like age, location, or interests). Even a small budget like RM5 can make a big difference.

So, which is better?
Both are good! Free ads are perfect if you're just starting or have no budget. Paid ads are great when you want faster results or reach more people quickly.

The best way? Use both! Start with free ads, then slowly try paid ads. You’ll learn what works best for your business. Happy advertising!
