Social networks aren't difficult to get started using, and in all honesty, it's a lot better to set up shop and at least make an effort to use them.  With that done, you can later pick them up and use them, and your brand will at least be visible on the internet which can be a major help.
For instance, if you own a brick and mortar store (with a physical store front), having a Facebook page with details can help you with business a lot.  Adding things such as hours of operation, location(s), stock, specials / sales, and everything else can all contribute to your physical store receiving more traffic.

For an online business, having a social presence nowadays is an absolute necessity, so don't skip over setting up the accounts.
With all of that in mind, I hope you learned a few things from this course, and I want to personally thank you for taking the time to go through all of this.  Now get out there and start marketing on social media!  Good luck and don't forget to use the share buttons, we'll appreciate that.
