Paid media are those media that can be paid to publish content. These include PR campaigns, Directory listings, Business association listing.
Earned media are those media that cannot be either owned nor paid, but earned. These include the likes, comment, share, post, retweet, links, follow, review, testimonials, clicks, virality, and all type of small business content user engagement.
