It's 2022 and don't be surprised when I tell you there are over 20 social media platforms out there...
Instagram, Tiktok, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, pinterest, ... the list goes on
The platforms are so popular that the least visited among the ones I mentioned has over 300 million ACTIVE users...
Now, as a business owner, what would this mean?
📍 Free Publicity
Social media platforms have massive numbers of users - Facebook has about 2.79 billion, Instagram has about 1.3 billion, WhatsApp has over 1.9 billion billion users from all over the world (dreamgrow.com ; statista.com).
This means that your business has a potential of attracting up to 1 billion+ people on these platforms...
All you need to do is to do your homework well about what they need and how you can relate it with the solutions you provide...
📍 New Clients
Truly, television and radio advertising are still on, but social media is speeding up in taking over, and the reason is simple...
These platforms have created means by which people can easily relate with each other and share their life events (including those funny cat videos), so people spend more time online than sitting down and watching TV (Needless to metion that Netflix is fast rising too)
Your own job will then to be to convert the attention you've gotten into currency in your account.
