Which method for attracting social media users is most effective?

This revision directly addresses Alan’s trouble — instead of just listing methods, it asks for a comparison/judgment. To make it researchable he should also define “effective” (e.g., rate of new user acquisition, retention, cost per acquisition), specify the population or platforms, and set a timeframe.
