Which Social Networks Are The Most Effective To Use

Apart from the most common social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, which other social networking platforms are effective at engaging communities and generating interest? I know it depends on the type of business sector and target markets, etc, but which networks are the best for businesses?All ideas welcomed.

 

Facebook is the most effective to use. Now almost everyone has a facebook account and you will get good traffic here.

 

Facebook does have the most traffic however it is difficult to get people on to your page. With Twitter you can use hashtags to attract your target audience.

 

Twitter is good and you can also try out Tagged. Very cool too.

 

Each of the social networs can be considered as the best in its own right. But the effectiveness would vary in a number of ways.
On this note, I would suggest to use them all and engage with members on each of the social networks. The important thing is to build relationship so as to generate interests from these people.

 

If you looking for engaging communities with business person and mostly one to one . You can try with LinkedIn where you can easily engage with lot of high position business person in the it.
There also open lot of topic discussion in the communities which you can join them .

 

The social networking platforms that I know you can use to engage communities are: SlideShare.net, Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, Tumblr, Squidoo, Delicious, and many more.
These are only a few platforms that I know can help you engage with a community of members interested in a specific subject matter.

I hope that helps a little bit.

All the best.

 

Thanks for all the advice. I have try to use LinkedIn to post discussions in groups and promote a brand however, many posts in LinkedIn groups get lost in the heavy amount of posting which is done. Is there an ideal time to post on LinkedIn groups or is there a more effective strategy which can be used?

 

why don't you try Olx,Quickr and sulekha

 

Facebook, twitter, g+ all is best social networking site; they are all increase more traffic. I think facebook is more popular from two other. Facebook is increase more visitor.

 

Facebook is very useful in getting traffic.

 

honestly I would not go into the other social networks

social networks are so effective because so many people use them so lesser known social networks defeat the point

if you are having trouble with getting leads through facebook and twitter you can use
forum marketing
Artical marketing
Ezine adds
Video marketing
Email marketing

hope this helps

Hi there polard,

Yeah you're right we can search google for the most effective social network. Everything is in google anyway.

 

I m not able to add people in Google plus community, i have sent the request but none of them added... so is there any other way 2 attract the members to get added

 

Google+ and facebook are best social networking websites for me and i do spent more than 9 hours on these websites

 

Reddit helps a lot to grow your business online. All you need is good description and attractive title.
