Social Media Is Far More Than Like Or Dislike

Social Media is like a tiny mouth on a big head. What people say on it matters very little, but it sure does take up a lot of valuable space. How are companies supposed to take part? You can’t just join a social network and expect your loyal brand followers to find you. You have to be relevant, targeted, full of good stuff. Think of this: Recent studies on flavor-of-the-year Twitter have shown that people join it because it’s free, and they really only use it to follow people they like. It’s where people are starting to get their news and start their trends. The average number of Tweets per Twitter user? One. Also, 10% of the total Twitter users send 90% of the Tweets. Puts it in perspective. If you’re a company, you must strategize your social media outlets. Learn more from Digital Bootcamp.
