And with faster results, comes faster tweaks. Once results are returned and the strategy adjusted, the profits could start being generated faster.

• 3. A REAL A/B TEST ONLY THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA PROXIES

A/B tests require deploying the same strategy to two groups of people, but with a minor change. Performing A/B tests from one accounts takes time. In addition, an A/B test through one account requires adjusting one element per test. This is where social media proxies come in handy. By using them, a marketer can deploy an A/B test to several groups at once. He can achieve this because he has a larger audience and several accounts at his disposal.

This are private proxies for social media. Meaning they are virgin proxies for the underlying platform. Once you have your proxies and accounts, you need a social media automation tool. And in some cases, a virtual private server to install and run the automation tool 24/7.
