Is Social Media worthless?

On a social site like FB you have a lot of people who are there for the 'entertainment' value and can tell you straight out now that not many people actively search for services on FB or anything. Now if you hosted events then FB would be your ideal platform.

However marketing to some form does work on FB and groups especially where people feel a part of something 'bigger' is what captures their mind. So realistically look at your services or the company and research your competitors. See how many people engage with them on their social accounts. What do they do? Are they boring or exciting?

There are some career sectors or services where FB and other social sites are ideal to market on, but then there are some sectors which is terrible... and there is no engagement. Doesn't mean it can't be done, but it does mean you will have to work extra hard to try and get a social media presence that counts.

 

Social media does work, only that for beginners it’s harder because you need to gain followers and people to actually see what are you are posting. But once you are stablished it’s a really good way to create marketing and backlinks for your company.

 

Social media is only worthless if you don't know how to correctly utilize its platforms. You need to have an audience and keep that audience interested in what you're posting.

 

When you see the time people spend on their computers , there is not a big choice how would you like to promote yourself or your product. I would say that Social media is something you must have to be successful. Twitter , Facebook can build up your webpage until the point you can earn from the page itself. It is powerful stuff.

 

Just ask yourself. Why many people are spending money on social media and mostly they do it in a daily basis.

anyway it's true that social media is worthless if you don't have a big audience.

 

That is why it is necessary to create good informative and useful contents to actually attract audience on social media sites.

 

social media can only be worthless to you you if your strategy are wrong. When the right approach and strategy is used, you will definitely see and experience its worth. People are increasing their sales each and every day thanks to social media. just re evaluate your method and you shall see results. Thank you social media

 

The first social media I've used was hi5, but honestly I was kid and I really don't how to use it. The only interesting thing that I'd love to do is to check who is watching my profile.

Facebook platform was the beginning of the New Era in Internet world. When the social network was launched in 2004, most of the world was impressed not because it was the first social media, but because of the chat system. I know that I will sound weird, but I found out about Facebook in 2009 and all I think was... Hmm, another stupid thing like hi5. But, I was wrong.

Facebook is the only platform where if you know who to use it, it will bring you a lot's of benefits. At the beginning I used facebook for fun, but now I realize that I can do more things like, looking for a job, searching for a new hobby, and chat with people who really needs you in your life. Also I'd love to read, so when I log on, most of the time I spent for reading articles.

 

Social media works. It works for me. I got a lot of traffic from social media, mainly from Facebook. I tried on other social networking sites too but Facebook response most.

 

So this means, it's our job to make it big.

I think social media sites are still worthy and day by day it is increasing. Because day by day user amount of social media sites are increasing. Also social media sites are the best places to get targeted traffic. That's why I think social media sites are still worthy.

 

Social media is not a cure all. It is not a silver bullet but it greatly works. I have made several purchases over the past months that have been aided if not driven by social media.

 

what is the harm & what is it costing you, when there are so many social media available free of cost just sign up register & submit your article & press release free of cost to capture inbound links for your websites in a smart way!! like for e.g. www.alphaweblistings.com www.asklisting.com

 

I have a friend who writes specialist cooking e-books, does hardly any social media work and still sells a fair amount of books each month. It's hard to know if the numbers would increase if she developed a focused strategy, though I believe they would.

 

No way. Social media is very powerful. I just responded to another thread with this. "First understanding that social media really is not there for advertisers. People are on social media to interact. Social media works well for branding your name then when people think of your products and services they will think of you. I guess what I am saying is there seems to be a more of a conversion process versis something like Pay Per Click traffic or even banner advertising."

 

Yes, why now, social media is the strongest platform for various purposes, weather it is marketting, sharing, sentimentals etc, for example Twitter. It is the dominant democracy of the social-sharing economy. Relevancy, personality and brevity are the keys to making your voice heard. Another medium is Instagram. It is attract brands with visual content into their customers’ zone-out time. Create and post content accordingly. If you want to experiment with your own user-base and followers, but it’s likely that the best time to target your posts will be to get to your audience’s eyes during their commutes, nights, and weekends.
Facebook is best equipped to linearly share responses to a post asking a question or sparking conversation. Answers then appear in friends of your respondents, spreading the conversation. Some other platforms are YouTube, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest and Yelp and/or Foursquare etc.

 

In social media marketing someone works with content strategy, social media marketing, SEO, community management etc. Here, maximum statement s are true. Only few are frod such as: In last month I lost $100 for traffic collection in my site. I hired some one for my task but he didn't work thoroughly with my statement. But few month age I hired a freelancer he works well that's why traffics were increased. I also prepared my site with the help of a designing company. That's why you can believe them.

 

Actually social media is totally different from a Job interview or recruitment process so must relay other people. There are number of fraud and dishonest people working like other places. But i think it’s easier if once you established you connection with any other relay person.

 

Thanks mr mohsin. I'll try to follow your direction. I had provide a complete requirement but he didn't works well. In next, I gassed that he was unskilled and ass.
