## How to split your social media ad budget

The biggest mistake businesses make with social media advertising is spreading their budget too thin across every platform. A **$1,000/month budget split 7 ways** means no platform gets enough spend to exit the learning phase and optimize properly.

Start with 2-3 platforms that align with your goals and audience. Use our [best time to post tool](https://posteverywhere.ai/best-time-to-post) to time your organic posts around your paid campaigns for maximum impact. Pair your paid spend with a strong organic strategy using a [social media scheduler](https://posteverywhere.ai/social-media-scheduler).

[Cross-posting](https://posteverywhere.ai/cross-posting) organic content lets you maintain presence on secondary platforms without additional ad spend.
