Social media, now looking more for business than for socializing.

[browsiek]

Social media is very influential on life, in which all of our activities are not far from what is called social media.  From looking for friends, looking for money, to capturing everyday moments on social media.  people are more interested in shopping or looking for something or selling there because apart from the cheap taxes, the goods are also affordable, so social media is a very strategic place to do business

I'm not very active in using social media anymore, when I see on facebook, twitter and instagram they mostly contain business, debate and porn ads (video call sex offers, etc), another bad thing is they use keywords or hashtags that are trending so that we are difficult to find useful information. of course this is a trend and lifestyle that has changed and hope there is a program that is more interesting than social media.

In the era of increasingly sophisticated digitalization, the presence of social media in the midst of society has a very big influence. Those who have a marketing spirit will take advantage of social media as a place to do business, especially now that social media is also equipped with business features.
Lots of people are building a business on social media because they can reach more customers, anyone and anywhere can be connected to each other via the internet network. You can also take advantage of special business and advertising features to build a business on social media, there's nothing wrong with trying to add income to survive in an increasingly difficult economic situation.

Yes, it depends on us taking advantage of every opportunity that exists, including social media, which we know now has a fairly broad impact on life, one of which is to support one's financial needs by doing business in it. While it has a positive value, there is nothing wrong with using social media as a source of our income. And as far as what I'm currently experiencing, I think doing business on social media doesn't interfere with anything when social media was first created. Precisely here we can see someone's creativity in doing promotions.

It costs less for people doing marketing strategy, since we all know that it does not cost anything to just register another account in social media to market your product and that is what made me steer clear from social media when it comes to business. Scammers can just freely walk in and redo their scams all over again.

Facebook Marketplace is one of the notorious places for scammers from my experience. Ratings almost does not mean crap since you could just create accounts with disposable emails and mobile numbers. What is worse is that you cannot even do background check on the profile that gave the rating and even if you search the name up, it would just give you thousands of results.

Well Son, the concept of socialising over the internet without meeting each other personally is itself a shame on the social life so it’s gonna be deep discussion. Unfortunately, we have moved too far with the online socialising and forgetting the fact that we should be meeting each other, be playful, have fun laughing, like the things we do, Share the things we do personally.

That could be PREMIUM socialising and guess what it would cost you Zero subscription charges and it will be ad free as well.

Anyways, the online social media’s are nothing but advertisement houses. They are just to tailor your needs and make you spend money on stuff which you talk about and think about.

Social media is now very different from the function or concept of the developer, 10 years ago we used social media to share our hobbies and daily life or conversely want to know the hobbies or activities of people we are friends with or follow, but mostly nowadays social media is used for business, many are even used to offer sex transactions, to other transactions.

Social networks and business are practically inseparable. People use social networks not only to communicate with each other on various everyday topics. In a period of deteriorating economic situation in the world and increasing unemployment and inflation, many people are looking for work through social networks or trying to create or develop their own business, looking for business opportunities or moving to other countries. This is all logical and normal. Also, cryptocurrency is now being advertised through social networks, people are interested in and receive information about cryptocurrency mainly through social networks.

There's this called algorithm that these social media websites use as to what they'll show you. So, it means that what we search is what they're going to show us based on that interest we've searched about.

And if that's mostly what you're seeing then I guess, they know what you are interested about.

another bad thing is they use keywords or hashtags that are trending so that we are difficult to find useful information.

I think that's even making it easier to find things if there are those hash tags that's being used on something viral.

of course this is a trend and lifestyle that has changed and hope there is a program that is more interesting than social media.

It will depend on your interest and life isn't just all about social media. But those that are making a living with the use of social media, you can't stop them from using it at the best usage that it can give to their business and livelihood.

Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing, Could it be as a result of digitalization and things moving online or more people now starting business online because of need to somehow generate income or another source of income for self to survive the economic situations which is becoming tougher?

now we are entering the era of digitization, almost everyone has social media, be it facebook, twitter, instagram and various other types of social media. but there are also a large proportion of social media users taking advantage of opportunities to do business, selling their goods online. By using and taking advantage of the digitization of the business they are running, they are getting more advanced without having to spend a lot of money to rent a shop. most who use social media are those who sell various types of clothing. I think they have put social media to good use at work.

In general, all social networks are tools that better serve our lives. Depending on your intended use, it will turn out to be bad or good. I still use social networks like Facebook or twitter, but I only use them to keep in touch with relatives or friends and to know about their lives, it's also a way to care about the people around you. I would say no to ads or try to follow trends on it, it just wastes our time. Use them for the right purposes and you will find them useful.

I have considered social media such as Instagram, Facebook and TikTok as promotional media for my merchandise, So far, no one has blamed me for that because many of my family and relatives buy what I sell through my social media accounts. The emergence of social media is really very helpful, especially for traders who don't have a budget for marketing.

But over time, social media developers also saw that there was business potential and like today, many social media themselves provide this facility to do business, and even on other social media, the social media developers themselves did it for the first time, just like product advertisements/ certain services in collaboration with other companies that are adapted to customer habits when opening social media as product target consumers from the cooperating companies. And that, in my opinion, does not deviate from the concept of social media itself. I think it is the same as when we socialize in society, there are those who sell, there are those who do their hobbies, etc.

Now a days there is new a social media marketing trend in which food sellers invite popular Vloggers to visit there sale point and make promotional videos that can help in attracting more customers. The marketing power of social media can not be ignored these days. Ten years back every business has there website but now the trend is entirely shifted towards social media pages.

When socializing becomes online then its logical that advertisements and businesses are concentrating on the online platforms so called social media. And for the fact social media makes money by selling our data to advertisers so don't be surprised to see ads while using them.

And its a part of evolution too and probably the most extreme end of physical evolution now we are evolving genetically and mentally to adapt to the current technology and all those things.

[erep]

It seems that social media is now out of its original context and you are right, technological advances have finally made it easy to expand the role of social media.

The role of social media can be the center of online business because it has the highest interaction support to increase goods ordering transactions, everyone already has a social media account for conversation, sharing and shopping, many online business people have become wealthy from taking advantage of social media opportunities to promote their goods.

as long as social media is used for a good role such as to expand information from the business being carried out, of course there is no problem. but now all behavior can be expressed and sometimes it is not in accordance with the norms and rules that have been regulated, and this cannot be avoided.

If we misuse social media, we will easily be influenced by behavior from information that is not in accordance with the norms and culture of life in our environment, we must protect ourselves to avoid bad content and must use social media wisely.

social media is more about business now, when you create a blog and become a blogger the  more you have followers and like on a particular video or trend your when you promote and boost post  with a particular amount or money pay in the video will authormatically go viral to thousands viewers more your like gets to 1k up ward your followers 50  up you make your money that is a business strategy through social media.

This becomes truer as meta decided to launch another paid feature that helps creators become 'Meta verified' similar to what Twitter is already doing: https://www.wsj.com/articles/facebook-parent-launching-meta-verified-subscription-service-619fb2ae

It appears as if these social media platforms are stsrting to gear their businesses towards being an actual marketplace with ads and products rather than to socialize. Can't blame them though, the money is good on these ad-centric platforms, plus the fact that consumerism envelopes the new generation right now.

Damn, kinda missing Friendster because of what Insta, Facebook, and Twitter is doing.

I think it's only fair, most businesses are made through socialization anyway so the point stands that businesses belong in these sites, although what I hate most about this shift of focus is the fact that these sites focus more on monetization rather than the overall user experience. Take facebook for example. The app rarely ever offers bug fixes for most of its notorious bugs and issues, heck, an issue that went on after one of their massive site changes are still present today pestering the daily lives of everyone who wants to look at other people's posts, and yet sponsored ads, advertisements of all kinds run rampant in the site like dogs in a festival. If only they made it so that the user experience is taken seriously as much as the business aspect of the site does.

Yes, good point. So, basically it all comes back to each user and how we see it. or how do we use social media for ourselves, either to remain a forum for friendship, or it can also be a land for doing business. what is certain, social media has innovated according to technological advances and adapted to the needs of its users.

In today's sophisticated digital era, the role of the internet is very vital for modern society. The role of social media is no exception. whatever the platform, almost all of them have features that can be used for doing business. well, now the answer is in ourselves. whether to continue to use social media as it should, or try to get involved in developing a business through social media networks. after all, there's nothing wrong, as long as it can bring in income, especially if it can improve our financial economy.

Just take the positive side. I mean there are a lot of apps that fall under the social media context so the developers are revolutionizing to find revenue on every ad that wants to use their app. So we as users don't deserve to give a negative impression, I mean the modern era today is working while sleeping and you can take advantage of social media as a new field to earn side income. Besides socializing, you can do various other things to take advantage of situations from social media.

Don't make it too complicated, that's the words you have to remember. if you always refer to it then you will not be able to take advantage of the digital era to earn income.

I am a social media manager and I have has seen the power of social media and how this platform has changed the lives of people.
