If Facebook Was a Country it Would Be Bigger Than America!
Facebook, it it was a country, would be bigger than the USA and the 3rd largest!! That is amazing.
It actually took 4 years for the internet to reach 4 million users and yet Facebook reached 100 million within 9 months!! For a free social 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 a lot 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.
In fact a staggering 80% of the companies who use LinkedIn do their recruiting on this site! If you are looking for high calibre leads, LinkedIn is definitely the place to find them.
Twitter is also growing incredibly fast.
It is used generally by people who want to stay in touch with old and new friends, but it is increasingly used by businesses to promote themselves.
Twitter is growing and changing constantly as new apps are made for it.
Twitter is evolving! Lack of understanding does keep some away, but because it is so well known now, more and more people are jumping on the bandwagon everyday.
It is hard to believe that a few years ago a blog was quite a new thing.
Now there are over 200 million blogs up and running.
And the majority of them are added to each day.
Basically if you are in business today you need to have a blog to keep your customers up to date with your products, services and special offers! Well you need a blog and you also need to be doing YouTube videos, and you need a Facebook page! Welcome to the future!! If you are in business and not online using social media sites, you are missing out considerably.
I am aware that a lot 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 come on - where are you?!
