Social Media is what my generation has grown up using and has become dependent on. We rely on social media for just about everything, from instagram posts to news on twitter. Social Media is a way of “staying in the loop”, I would say.
Social Media is defined as “websites and applications that enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking”.
The type of social media that intrigues me the most and is used around the world today from businesses or influencers is CONTENT DISTRIBUTION, in simple terms content distribution is the process of sharing photos or videos through websites, contests/drawings, in-person, events, or simple advertising to gain followers or “fans”.
Some of the most common social media platforms used today for content distribution is INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, PINTEREST, TIK TOK, & YOUTUBE. These websites are specially designed to cater to impressionable generations that value content posted on each of their websites.
Content distribution is also a way of making your own website stand out and be heard. By sharing on any or all of these websites you can make a brand from nothing too something. Some people do prefer to go the organic route and gain followers and fans the natural way by putting social media links on your website, liking social media pages, in store flyers, or simple events. Those are all great ways to distribute content BUT there’s also a more effective way to increase followers… ADS! Advertising is the backbone to social media and is proven more effective that most organic approaches. Paying to increase followers sounds worse than it is, it’s simply creating and making fun advertising online for people to share and spread the word and get your brand out there for everyone to see!
