aOver the past few years, social media usage and penetration has grown by leaps and bounds.
And not just for the average American. But for U.S.-based businesses and brands as well.
Once a confusing curiosity, sites like Facebook and Twitter – not to mention an array of other fast-growing social media sites like Pinterest and Instagram – are now staples of everyday American life, with a whopping 93% of U.S. Internet users maintaining Facebook profiles…and spending 1 out of every 8 online minutes sharing photos, quotes, thoughts, news items, chat sessions, videos and more on the site.
And Twitter has become an absolute necessity for true-blooded newshounds, with many journalists breaking stories via the popular micro-blogging platform. It’s also Ground Zero for many newsmakers – not to mention tastemakers and thought-leaders – and provides a rare, in-the-moment insight into the minds and hearts of many celebrities.
“But how does any of that impact me or my business?” you may ask. “Can online hangouts like Facebook and Twitter truly serve as powerful inbound marketing channels and sales tools for my business and brand?”
Well…the answer to these questions is fairly simple.
Yes. And more than you might think. A lot more.
