How do you use Social Media for business?

10 replies
Hi, I have been a long time visitor of warrior forum, and thought this is the perfect time to sign up. I study computing at college and would like your help to answer five questions about social media and how it effects you, either as a business or the client. These will be used for an assignment and will only be seen by my lecture.

1. How long do you spend on social media each day?
2. How many Social Media accounts do you have?
3. Have you made any purchases through social media? If yes what was the product?
4. What’s the main purpose of your social media accounts, is it to promote your product/service or is it a tool for customer service?
5. Has your use of social media increased or decreased in the past five years?

Thanks in advance, I cannot wait to view the results and compare them. If you don't want to publicly show this information a pm would also be welcome.

Best Regards, Dan.

    1. About 2 hours
    2. Only counting the active ones, maybe about 40 or so. Counting all of the ones I have for sites that I don't even bother to keep up with about 200 maybe.
    3. Yes, Facebook ads more than anything
    4. Both
    5. Increased and I'm sure many others here would agree. Social media is becoming more powerful by the day for marketers.

    Using social media for marketing can enable small business looking to further their reach to more customers. Your customers are interacting with brands through social media, therefore, having a strong social media marketing plan and presence on the web is the key to tap into their interest. If implemented correctly, marketing with social media can bring remarkable success to your business.

    1. Too long! The black hole of time, I mean FB news feed, becomes difficult to stop scrolling at times!
    2. 3 FB. One for personal, one for business and one for advertising.
    3. Ads. Maybe the odd webinar.
    4. I don't like it for customer service, I would much rather the customer got in touch directly. I use it for my offline business for advertising.
    5. I don't think anyone will say decreased.

    It is both used for product based promotion as well as services rendered.
    You must spend at least half an hour on your social media accounts to share ideas and posts with people.
    Yes I have made a sale. I have rendered SEO services to a UK based client.

    If you have a business site,

    - post the URLs of every pages on your social media profiles such as FB and Twitter
    - get at least 50 - 100 backlinks from your social media profiles
    - move on to other link building techniques - i.e. blog commenting, forum posts, article directory submission, etc
