Top 5 Social Medias for business use
- Twitter – Many users and with retweets and likes, thousands of people could see your tweets in a matter of minutes. Also twitter is very self personalized and allows for you to talk/blog about whatever you want to so you can let all those people know directly what you are trying to sell/tell them. Companies can tweet back at customers as if they were friends rather than a seller to buyer interaction.
- Instagram – Instagram is very much based on strictly how many people see and like your account. So Instagram helps when you have a very good marketing team that allows people to like your pictures. Instagram even allows you to tag the links directly to the product you are promoting. Companies pay for pop-up ads that will show on a person’s news feed and also when a person is viewing their followers stories.
- Facebook – Now as for Facebook its platform for the older generation in general but with 2.37 billion users Facebook still proves to be a very reliable source for businesses to promote themselves to all kinds of people. Also people on Facebook don’t seem to care about likes and other stuff that twitter and Instagram promote so it allows for people to just focus on what they want to post and care about. This allows for business to promote the stuff they want to and try to target the specific group that they want to target.
- Snapchat- Companies advertise in between stories of your friends and in between stories on the discovery page. They advertise on the discovery page. They advertise through snapchat filters.
- Tinder – Tinder on the other hand is definitely the least favorable form of social media for businesses to try and promote themselves. This social media app is used for people to try and connect with other people. So of all the social media that we chose to do obviously Tinder has to be the 5th ranked because of the limited ads that they even have and obviously this is because of the limited ads and the fact that people aren’t there to see things like that.
Hey y’all it’s Sondos– I’m just going to list what I believe are the 5 most toxic social media platforms here so I don’t mess with anything:
- Snapchat- Least harmful, Only public thing is stories, everything else is in chat. You have to add to see. Snapchat also has the option of private stories, so ultimately you can pick and choose who you want to view your content.
- Tinder- Dangerous, Not meeting expectations ( based on looks, not personality) Easy to lie on. Catfishing
- Twitter – FAKE VS REAL NEWS No shame. Easiest platform to hide behind an anonymous user and bully. Specifically stan twitter. Mediocracy
- Facebook- fake accounts, share what you want, easy to fight on, lots of drama.
- Instagram – based solely on image, self esteem, comparing, (REFER TO PARAGRAPH )
The first four social media sites have pretty similar reasons why they can be pretty toxic in our lives. Although technology has certainly enhanced our lives in a certain way, ultimately there are some things we can do without. One of the main issues about social media, particularly Instagram, is that people look like they have a better life than they really do. People are posting specifically about happy times and in many cases they modify their pictures to appear better looking, and if not modifying certain pictures, people are still selecting the “best picture.” Whether that’s best lighting, best angle, etc. From the constant presentation of happy people, from good looking people, is the birth of comparing oneself to a certain SNS profile. That ultimately lowers one’s self-esteem because then they may not believe they’re good enough which can lead to all kinds of mental health issues. People generally think of themselves relative to others, it’s a way of constantly rebaselining our expectations. It gives the quote “Comparison is the thief of joy.” by Theodore Roosevelt a whole new perspective. The reason I pointed out Instagram is because essentially, for many people, is that this social media platform is giving them the opportunity to be their own PR agent and because of that, they tend to lean towards the more glamorous outlook. The likes, comments, shares, etc. that someone receives suddenly becomes addicting and for many, it’s like they feed off of it and this is toxic in so many ways because once someone is chasing the responses they’re receiving on their posts, they’re gonna be hungry for more and more. Eventually, that may lead to being too obsessive about perfecting the persona you’ve put out that everyone seems to love and essentially lose yourself. It’s almost like they don’t want to live in the reality, in the real world, but rather they want to interface with this personally created world through their social media pages. Like living in a simulation. In conclusion WE’RE LIVING IN THE MATRIX LMFAO.
