What are the different social media platforms available and which one is suitable for you?


Social media is all over the place nowadays: we can see companies using social media ads in radio commercials, commercials billboards, websites and even on our cell phones and other mobile devices. There are logos for Facebook and Twitter on hundreds of websites. We are invited to subscribe to blogs, become followers, friends, share, and interact in many ways, but how is this social networking effective in helping us? And are the companies using these platforms achieving tangible outcomes?


Because the number of types of social media platforms as well as the array of advantages and disadvantages they offer can be overwhelming so we've decided to pick some that we believe to be the most beneficial and describe some of their pros and cons from a business point viewpoint. It is important to keep in mind that not every industry should be spending time and money on some of these platforms. Hence, it is essential to consider just what your desired outcomes are before beginning your social media marketing campaign. You can then narrow down the type of social media platform you'd like to include in your SEO strategy by weighing the possible benefits and costs of every social media platform.


Blogs

The reason we begin here is that blogs are frequently regarded as to be the "base" for any social media strategy. Blogs are a great option to show personal touch and boost perception of your industry. They also help educate people by demonstrating your market knowledge, creating an emotional investment in your company, generating brand recognition and informing others. Blogs can also be integrated with different types of social media platforms, and even allow your Twitter or Facebook posts streams streaming live on Socialispolicy blog.


Blogs have a downside. They need to be authentic for readers as they are to their customers. People will be able to tell if you have a fake knowledge of your industry If you put too much focus on you rather than them and also if you participate in the blog on a regular basis. Blogs should be regularly updated and this can be a challenge from a time standpoint. It is important to take this into consideration before deciding to establish a corporate blog.


Facebook

Facebook is one of the most well-known and widely used social media platforms. Although trends may change, Facebook should still be the primary social media site after blogging. This is because it makes brand awareness even more important by making your brand's logo prominent and allowing users to post information about your business with their "friends". Your customers will be reminded often of your page via status updates, announcements or other interactions. Facebook provides an analytics tool which permits companies to view weekly reports of new followers, interactions and kinds of actions that are taken. Facebook also allows you to make custom tabs that permit you to link to other platforms such as Twitter and blogs to your Facebook profile.


The disadvantage of Facebook is that, just like blogging, it takes time to manage the company's page, although the time needed on Facebook is much lower than for platforms like Twitter.


Twitter

Twitter mentioned above, much time and effort is required to effectively manage a Twitter account. With 27.3 million tweets per day and counting who is discussing your company, your product, or who might need to know about your company can be daunting, to say the least. To improve optimization, as well as other factors, it's important to keep in mind many factors, such as the requirement for fast replies or "retweets" as well as keeping a high "follower-to-follower" ratio and ensuring a high quality of optimization.


However, Twitter allows users to use programs like TweetDeck to monitor tweets or create schedules of tweets for distribution. Twitter can be a great method to connect with clients. However, this tool is only suitable for certain industries and should be used in conjunction with a plan.


YouTube

YouTube YouTube is an online social media platform. It is also the 2nd most searched-for engine following Google. Yes, we did say "search engine". For the record, YouTube is used in this fashion primarily by younger people however, not as frequently as people who have the means to sign up as a user. But, in a market such as this, large companies shouldn't be tempted to neglect a branding and informative instrument like YouTube, especially considering that the average duration on the YouTube is about 23 minutes. A YouTube presence can provide companies with a huge audience, as well as the ability to tag keywords in videos to boost your chances of being discovered when those keywords are searched. Like any social media platform, there are many factors that could affect the results. However, if you've already made videos for your website or blog You can create a YouTube channel. YouTube's limited resources makes it easy to reach out to a wider viewers.


As with all social media platforms that are popular today, it could not be the most effective tomorrow. To build brand awareness and to maintain a favorable reputation offline and online, companies must be able to determine which areas to allocate their time and resources. They will be able to prepare for any new media or social media type emerges. These factors must be considered by search engine marketing companies as well as their customers in deciding the best way to proceed with marketing efforts.
