Which Social Networks Are The Most Effective To Use

Discussion in 'Social Networks' started by SocialMediaFan, Dec 19, 2012.

    Apart from the most common social networks such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, which other social networking platforms are effective at engaging communities and generating interest? I know it depends on the type of business sector and target markets, etc, but which networks are the best for businesses?All ideas welcomed.

    Facebook is the most effective to use. Now almost everyone has a facebook account and you will get good traffic here.

    Facebook does have the most traffic however it is difficult to get people on to your page. With Twitter you can use hashtags to attract your target audience.

    Each of the social networs can be considered as the best in its own right. But the effectiveness would vary in a number of ways.
    On this note, I would suggest to use them all and engage with members on each of the social networks. The important thing is to build relationship so as to generate interests from these people.

    If you looking for engaging communities with business person and mostly one to one . You can try with LinkedIn where you can easily engage with lot of high position business person in the it.
    There also open lot of topic discussion in the communities which you can join them .

    The social networking platforms that I know you can use to engage communities are: SlideShare.net, Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, Tumblr, Squidoo, Delicious, and many more.
    These are only a few platforms that I know can help you engage with a community of members interested in a specific subject matter.

    I hope that helps a little bit.

    All the best.

    Thanks for all the advice. I have try to use LinkedIn to post discussions in groups and promote a brand however, many posts in LinkedIn groups get lost in the heavy amount of posting which is done. Is there an ideal time to post on LinkedIn groups or is there a more effective strategy which can be used?

    honestly I would not go into the other social networks

    social networks are so effective because so many people use them so lesser known social networks defeat the point

    if you are having trouble with getting leads through facebook and twitter you can use
    forum marketing
    Artical marketing
    Ezine adds
    Video marketing
    Email marketing

    hope this helps

    ps the link bellow is online marketing training that covers all the things listed above including social media such as facebook

    Reddit helps a lot to grow your business online. All you need is good description and attractive title.
