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

[Rufsilf]

Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing,

The answer here is very simple, because can you do a business where there is no crowd? The answer is No.. and social media has now been the place with the most crowd and best place to showcase ones business in this present day life. So for me, social media still remains the place for socialization, but one can not survive only by just socializing, and that's where business comes into play,  to advertise your product or services to your online friends, because you never can tell who could be in need of your services tomorrow.

And there is into business knowing this becomes a very effective tool to earn more profit rather than just a socializing platform. It was too easy to advertise projects on social media, you can make good business here and pay for their services. And now that the majority are already involved in social media, money was easier to get from here.

I'm not sure this was a part of the plan upon creating this platform but I see this was another great opportunity to make your business grow aside from knowing more people online.

It's only natural for this to happen. People would always find way to use technology to earn money, whether it be the telegram, telephone or the internet. Social media is actually perfect for this because it allows you to advertise or do business within any given social circle.

I would prefer it though for businesses and their staff to use a separate business account. The last thing I want is to be bombarded by ad posts by friends.

Business is also a part of social life, I don't see how it's wrong to have it in social media. Most social media allow you to curate what to see, I personally don't have commercial content in my news feeds.

As automation of our industry increases. more and more jobs will move towards the Internet, perhaps in a few decades a majority of work will happen there, so it's not strange that social media are increasingly more commonly used for business.

The business climate provided by social media platforms can only flourish if the platform maintains its advantage as a social network. I mean, if everyone turns into entrepreneurs, there will be no customers. In my opinion, Tiktok and Facebook are moving in this direction, which opens the way for their competitors to advance over them, perhaps in the near future.
These platforms are supposed to follow a wise policy so as not to lose a large part of their users who have nothing to do with business.

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?

I feel there is nothing wrong with this because with the emergence of business trends on social media, it has helped the economy of many people. I have a neighbor who managed to buy a house because of doing business through social media, this shows that the positive impact is really extraordinary.

The bottom line to and of social media has always been and remains business- how to monetize it.  The goal wasn't to altruistically connect everyone but a mindset of how much $$$ can be made by connecting everyone.

This is true and nothing is wrong with that.  Yes some want to lay back and scroll while others want to make $$$ off it, this is cool and is also cool to the company because in either scenario, the company is still making $$$.  Social media wouldn't be as ubiquitous as it is if wasn't generating such large amounts of revenue.

I agree from the start that social media was created as a business to make money. Because digital business transformation is the most promising thing until now and between those who use social media, they really need each other even though they don't use it as a profitable business.

But let us admit, with the proliferation of marketplace in social media channels, a lot of people are benefiting from it. However, as a buyer, you need to be very careful as you may encounter bogus sellers. But I don't have anything against these people using social media as marketplace. As long as they are not screwing people, this platform is helping alleviate their living and not relying to somebody else to generate funds for living.

I am also a social media manager - but I think - it take so much of your time - that sometimes it get fed up of phone so much
I do a phone detox day - scrolling phone all the time has made me sick
Now I don't do much content writing

fraud is always looking for opportunities in all gaps in the line of life. we as users, business partners or buyers must be careful and smart in choosing them so that we can avoid fraud and dishonest digital market traders, because we cannot eliminate them or block them completely because most of them work as a team that has structured and neat

Well, that is better to see social media as more of a place for business than just socializing alone, as it gives a lot of opportunities for those who are business minded and are already doing their businesses. It all started when pandemic hits the world, and even if we live in a new normal now, the social media remain to be a great outlet for business, and has even grown more.

But unfortunately, social media now gives a huge opportunity for scammers to fool people and make money easy. I wasn't believing how this turned out this a reason that many people will not be preferred to make business on social media is because of this thing. I would love to see this become a tool for business programs and advertisements but they need to regulate it and never allow scammers. But if they can't, better keep social media only for socializing purposes.

It's no secret that the presence of social media in the midst of society, has also changed the lifestyle in socializing and communicating, and of course also has an impact on running a business. Because all business activities can not be separated from social interaction.
There are various types of business opportunities that arise with social media as a medium for business transactions and communication, but you still have to be careful because social media also opens up opportunities for fraudsters. So we have to be smart and also do some research before doing it.

The development of social media continues to increase and beats socializing, people are always busy with gadgets even when gathering at restaurants, they don't care about their surroundings and friends who are nearby, and many focus on developing their business, this is because the targets reached by social media so clear that it becomes the choice of those who do business.

It is true that most people today are more comfortable doing activities online than going out of the house to socialize. Especially with
the COVID-19 pandemic making people more active in the online world than in the real world. It is also supported by internet access which is
increasingly easy to obtain, so it is not surprising that it has an impact on increasing social media users. Therefore, many companies end up
promoting their products through social media, in addition to having a larger reach, the promotional costs incurred are also more cheaper.
So definitely when we play social media there will be a lot of product promotions popping up, because many businessman use social media
to develop their business. We can see that big companies in our respective countries must have a special division formed to handle social media.
Because social media has such a huge impact on human life, it's no wonder Elon Musk is willing to buy Twitter expensively.

During pandemic we all realised that online workspace became our office. Everyone realised how well online platforms can serve as office providing better work life balance. Many people took online ventures and the trend is now on rise. Yes people have changed perception of social network as platforms for just socializing to platforms for work.

And not only social media is responsible for this, smartphones also bear a great deal of the responsibility as well, before smartphones became as common as they are today people in general did not carry with them any device which could be used to feed to them targeted marketing.

But this changed with smartphones, now every single person can be contacted by big companies all the time, and it is obvious they were not going to miss such a chance, which explains why social media in general seems more business oriented these days.

There is less good smartphone has brought to world - but than again there is so much crime which is going on in the world due to this smart phone.
So there is no denial that smartphone has changed the world altogether
