What is social media?

According to author and Small Business writer Matthew Hudson, social media is “any digital tool that allows users to quickly create and share content with the public.”

 “Social media encompasses a wide range of websites and apps”, says Hudson. “Some, like Twitter, specialize in sharing links and short written messages. Others, like Instagram and TikTok, are built to optimize the sharing of photos and videos.”

…and after all, who doesn’t want to keep up with their second cousin’s best friend’s next door neighbor’s Golden Retriever pictures?

 

So, how does social media pertain to my business marketing goals?

Well, one side effect of all this socializing is how it has changed business marketing.  Since its inception and massive growth, social media has completely transformed the landscape for business. 

In a recent study, Global Web Index reported that, “as of 2021, the number of people using social media is over 4.48 billion worldwide, with the average user accessing 6.6 social media platforms on a monthly basis. Popular platforms like Facebook have over 65.86% of their monthly users logging in to use social media daily.”

We want to reach our potential customers where they spend most of their time, right? Clearly, social media is where you’re going to find them.

In fact, social media marketing is now considered by digital marketing experts to be one of the most important aspects of digital marketing, providing benefits that help reach millions of customers worldwide.
