Social media – the question is no longer why, it’s how?
Here’s the answer:
If Facebook were a country, it would be the second largest in the world. With 1.28bn monthly active users in Q1 2014, it is also streets ahead of other social networks in terms of driving traffic to other sites.
The Facebook page I run for Brighton and Hove News now has more than 20,000 likes, and generates thousands of hits for the site every day. Can I do the same for you?
Customers love Twitter because of its instant, informal access to friends, brands, celebrities, journalists, random strangers – pretty much anyone.
My 14,000+ followers not only help me reach thousands of people quickly, but also keep me informed and up to date.
Snapping at the heels of the big two is Pinterest, the online scrapbook which provides a perfect shop window for all sorts of brands.
The biggest professional business network, its company pages now allow people to follow and receive news, and leave recommendations too.
The search giant’s answer to Facebook has yet to take off in the same way, but because it’s made by Google, a strong presence works wonders for SEO.
Last year, YouTube had four times as many hits in the UK as the BBC’s iplayer, and the audience for digital video is still growing apace.
My video editing expertise can help get you onto this platform too.
