If you are just starting out I would focus on your social media before working on paid ads. The cost will be very high and you most likely don’t have a budget for it yet. Post as much as possible.

Disagree. Focus on ads. Sell to people that are searching for your products.

It depends on what you are selling. I would only start with ads if it is a brand new product with not much competition. For products such as clothing I would recommend building your social media first. And like I said if you are just starting out it’s likely that you have little or no advertising budget so you wouldn’t be getting many sales either way. I’m sure you can make both ways work. This is just my opinion.
