Facebook, 3rd Biggest Country In The World!!
Facebook, it it was a country, would be bigger than the USA and the 3rd largest!! How incredible! Television took 13 years to get to 50 million users, Facebook took about 9 months to reach 100 million users!! For a free soccial media site that is absolutely amazing growth. Incredibly the fastest growing segment on Facebook is woman aged 55-65!!
The opportunities for small business on Facebook and other Social Media sites is incredible and people are making alot of money building their business with them!
And who would have thought that YouTube is already the largest search engine after Google? This is another incredible fact. Youtube is very well known now and so popular it regularly features on the news. A recent change that YouTube made was to transcribe every video that is uploaded, in order to rank it for keywords in their search engine! So putting keywords in both the video and the description is now key.
Although LinkedIn is not as popular as Facebook, what it lacks in numbers it definitely makes up for in quality of its users. LinkedIn is used very much by company CEO’s, Management and other high flyers. Actually 80% of the companies on LinkedIn use it to find employees; another incredible fact! If you are looking for high calibre leads, LinkedIn is definitely the place to find them.
Another Social Media site that is growing quickly is Twitter. Celebrities use it to keep fans updated on what they are doing, companies use it to keep in touch with their customers and friends use it to chat. Twitter is growing and changing constantly as new apps are made for it. Twitter is evolving! Because it is so different to Facebook some people do stay away, but the constant buzz surrounding it means that droves of new people are signing up everyday.
There are over 200 million blogs on the internet today. And the majority of them are added to each day. If you are in business, you need a blog for your customers to go to, so they can find out all about your business. Actually you don’t just need a blog, you need a Facebook Fan Page and regular YouTube videos too!! Welcome to the future!!
Any business that is not on social media, I seriously believe is going to be losing out immensely. I am aware that alot of people out in the ‘real’ world consider it to be something of a fad and not something that they need to be involved in, but I think they are definitely missing something massive. The figures speak for themselves.
So jump in! We’re waiting for you:)
