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

[Bitcoin2009]

For now it can be said that 80% of people who are usually online will have a social media account, Facebook and Instagram are 2 social media with the most users, for business people, of course this is a good opportunity to make businesses more developed with social media, in my country the influence of social media For businesses stronger than offline market .

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

Yes true, without a smartphone, social media will not experience rapid development as it is now, we deserve to be grateful to Android which is the largest smartphone platform, and it can be said that more than 75% of smartphone users have social media accounts such as Instagram, Twitter and so on.

Because they are aware that now for doing business, they don't have to be in the offline market, they add other things by taking advantage of the increasingly sophisticated era of technology so that when someone can reach a bigger target then being online is a good thing and social media can be an alternative to peddling a business there.

We are living in a time when data is the biggest asset. All these social media sell their user data for money and those data have also been collected for marketing purposes.

Therein lies our concern (regarding the misuse of data) in using social media. The use of social media is also not 100% able to meet our basic needs. Many do not know about the negative effects that will occur if filling in original data on social media. Most social media users who do not understand the use of social media, they are very vulnerable to share their daily activities.
It is necessary to be careful even though social media is now widely used by business actors, both small and large businesses in promoting products.

Without a smartphone, it is clear that the development of social media will not be as fast as it is now, but that does not mean it cannot be used, because everyone can still open it via other devices that use Mac and Windows operating systems apart from the Android operating system. It's just that because the Android operating system is easier to use by many people through their smartphone devices, the use of social media has also become easier to use and this has made a very rapid development for social media among the public.

Yes that is true social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing.People always prefer the easy way so more and more people are starting online business now because of the need to generate some income or other source of income for themselves.People are now getting everything from the comfort of their homes which is made possible by these online businesses.  Online is a good opportunity to further expand the business.Online platforms are very popular nowadays.  Amazon Daraz is one example of this.  Online is the best to get any product of your choice from far away.

To me it is not more of waste of time and consume so much of your time.
You pick up the phone - and when you put it done its almost two hours gone. I am not trying to delete all the social media apps from my phone. Believe me - noone misses you and life goes on!

There are plenty of videos, like digital marketing courses, local businesses on social media, how social media help business etc. I don't think this will hinder us from socialising, but it's an additional support. That social media are not compressed only for entertainment purposes, rather it's a step into another level of opportunity.

[Fortify]

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?

If you find large groups of people in one place, and Facebook is arguably the very largest of those in existence, then you are going to find people trying to sell things. Facebook themselves have been running their own internal advertising platform for well over a decade now and make a lot of money by allowing advertisers to target certain niches. If you get an effective advert blocker then you should be able to avoid the worst of it, but in another way - these platforms need at least some sort of baseline revenue generating model to offer their services for free. Then you also have the marketplace section which is actually a good method of joining people together in geographical areas who might be interested in buying and selling in an ebay-type setup.

All the social media was used for the business and economic development.It also improve the concept of socialisation.Many new youngsters had gained good knowledge from the social media.They get to know,how to react in the society for certain things.The TikTok is used for the promotion of verbal things and verbal ideologies among the young people.

I guess social media is bound to look like that particular in times of pandemic where everything is done online and business is not an exception. In fact, business has grown more with the help of social media, seeing a lot of people see it as a way to meet new acquaintances and deal with business after that. The reason why social media has never run out of scams too every now and then.

Everything could really be on social media not only for the sole purpose of socializing but also it could really be indeed use for business purposes or this kind of area which is really just common sense.

If we do consider out first the traffic then it would really be just sensible that as a business owner then this is where you primary target place to make out some advertisement rather than on focusing

into places which does only have a few audience or target buyers for them to see unlike on those social media platforms which we know that it could be seen by everybody
and potential sales could really be on higher odds.

Especially now that many people really need additional income where almost all their daily needs increase in price. And many people end up using
social media for business rather than socializing, because it has been proven to be effective in doing business on social media. We can reach more
people if we use social media to sell products, after all, it's not like doing business in the real world, which has to pay a lot of money to pay rent for
a place to business, on social media the money we spend is usually only for promotional costs. The profit that is finally obtained is indeed greater if
we are a business using social media than we are a business in the traditional way. As you said finally social media is a great way to start a business
or even expand our business to make it bigger. Therefore, the existence of social media actually helps improve the economy if we can use social media
for business. I'm one of those people whose economy improved after using social media for business.

If we pay attention, almost everyone now has social media. And it is used by business people to enter and become a business opportunity. Apart from that, the ease of transacting is a special attraction for consumers compared to shopping at offline stores, which will certainly take more time. And in my opinion, this is good, because it creates new business opportunities, such as companies engaged in services, for example.

Social media is a big business arena, many of which they have done on social media and have succeeded in building their business and for me this is the same as socializing because what we know social media is also a lot of users so the opportunity here is really big compared to what we have to do in other areas place.
My friend himself built a business from scratch from social media to big it was done seriously, meaning that it can slowly be done without the need to socialize directly and on social media is also enough to find an audience.

for me, social media is both (a place to do business and also to socialize). I sell women's accessories and 80% of my sales happen because of the activities that I share on social media, even though at the beginning of starting a business, it was my closest friends who helped me by posting the items I sold on their social media. Many of my old friends are also my regular buyers. without a social media presence, I'm sure my sales wouldn't be what it is today.

There's a business opportunity on that fact and that's why businessmen sees that and they won't waste time missing it. And most of the time, majority of the people nowadays are spending time, a lot of time checking all of those feeds and whatever the buzz today.

And in my opinion, this is good, because it creates new business opportunities, such as companies engaged in services, for example.

It's actually good, most of the businesses have been made online today and if you're going to look at majority of the known companies, they have their own social media accounts.

Everything that has been impossible before seems to be possible today and everyone can be an entrepreneur and online seller but, not everyone can be successful.

Social media has now changed its function, perhaps the most suitable expectations are Twitter, but sometimes sellers use topics that are trending and making promotional tweets by inserting words that become trending, of course this is not a problem because it can be used for other functions

What are you discussing?
Do you feel that social media has changed its function?
The main discussion is about social media being a place for business rather than socializing, but I read your post like it has nothing to do with the main discussion. Or am I not able to understand the meaning of your post?

Change is moving so fast and nowadays social media has become an effective marketing place and certainly doesn't require a lot of money,
so that it is certainly put to good use by the sellers and that's legal,
besides twitter, instagram and tiktok are also used by sellers

Marketing has been done everywhere that people looks at, and since people look at social media it is totally normal for people to see some sort of marketing efforts on there as well. Give me 10 thousand dollars and I can build a simple website and an instagram account and start selling tshirts, the easiest of any business in the world, with a great brand and amazing ads.

It's that simple these days, back in the day it was harder to get customers, but thanks to social media marketing people figured out that you could do marketing with a simple social media ad and you could maybe hire a couple of influencers and you are giving people just a few clicks to buy your shirt, so easy. Crypto is not that much different at all.

Yes, In the past, social media platforms were mainly used by the general public or run as a hobby. Now, it has become a place for businesses to advertise their products and services, and in some cases, even market their business. What's more, they do it everywhere on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and others so as many people as possible can see their offerings. Whatever the end goal, I think social media is at least valuable as a research tool and it works well for businesses, but not necessarily for users. The bottom line is that companies and businesses are using this platform for their own benefit.

[iamsange]

Social media is a good tool to promote the business if it is done the right way
Some business put a great effort on the businesses to get benefit out of it. And if they hit the right target - they get the right client and make profit out of it

I think social media is the second tool that everyone and companies should use to introduce themselves and their products so that they can be known by many people with a wide reach. Because the main thing that has to be done is to build real relationships in their lives so that their business can grow faster, which then uses social media to add to the expansion of promotions so that products can be recognized by many people more quickly.

Because without many relationships or followers on social media accounts, any business will not grow fast, I think so.

Yes , This is true because today more number of users are using internet for entertainment so many companies are switching their business from traditional to online more where they attract more users by showing discount. They are putting ads in youtube , facebook and instagram for their business promotion so they more interested customers will be attracted to their products and services . Now , Internet and social media has been become hub of business promotion
