What is Social Media?


A Social Media, simply speaking could be visualized as a website that does not just give you information, but interacts with you while giving you that information. The basic objective of all social medias is sharing information. By providing helpful information in an easy to access format, businesses can reach more people and gain attention.
Social media can be used to give people something to remember, present solutions etc. Social media gives businesses control over their images.
One of the fastest growing job markets today is in the field of social media! The web has become the first place most people look to make purchasing decisions, and they depend on social media for advice and guidance from their peers.
Businesses that formerly depended on Yellow Pages ads, direct mail marketing and in store advertising are realizing that they cannot neglect online marketing. However, many of these business owners have no idea how social media works, let alone how to leverage it to increase their sales or positively promote their brand.
There is a desperate need for socially savvy marketers who can take these businesses and build an online presence for them. 
The following are the most widely used social medias in the world:
  • Facebook Pages
  • Twitter Accounts
  • LinkedIn Profiles
  • Google Accounts
  • YouTube Channels
  • Pinterest Boards
