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

[BRINIRHA]

Social media at the beginning of its emergence was indeed devoted to a place to socialize and talk freely in socializing without distance restrictions. because we can socialize with anyone and from anywhere without restrictions.
but when social media has become much in demand and has become a common thing. so naturally if in it will appear businesses. because business is also part of social itself. and indeed today we see more business on social media. if in the past the days were filled with individual status updates whether it was about complaints etc. now more are promoting businesses and products. but that's social. because in the real world now more and more talk about business.
because after all we are free to use social media with a record of obeying the rules too.
Some of the benefits that we feel from social media are:

1. makes it easier for us to interact with many people,
2. to expand the relationship,
3. distance and time are no longer a problem,
4. it is easier to express yourself,
5. Information dissemination can take place quickly,
6. The cost is cheaper.

the points above are very good when used for a business. such as for the promotion of our business and save more on promotional costs. provided we can maximize it properly. So it's no wonder that now many business people are using social media to promote their business. even if we have no business. we can still get income from social media. an example of making a video on facebook by fulfilling the applicable requirements we can earn money from there. so now even many people who become successful just by playing social media. because they can take advantage of an opportunity into a promising business.

Seeing the developments now very clearly can be said to be true. Media is always moving and changing, responding to innovation and the needs of its users. In today's world, social media has become a platform for businesses, with increased digital access and communication providing opportunities for people to start their own businesses.

Social Networks provide an outlet for businesses to make money & they have found a way to put their products to good use; that's the business side. But there are many people who use social networks mainly for self-expression, as you should do in real life. Just because it can be made into a business tool doesn't mean that it has to be one!

Well, Now it's all back to us, what we want to be, designer, user or not so that we can make wise use of this resource in the future.

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?

the fact is that social media is now a place of online business and is almost dominated by women who sell their products, they can still earn money without having to leave their responsibilities as wives, but there are still many who use it as social media in general.

Social media is quite dominant in creating buzz on anything these days.
Its no surprise though since a lot of social media platforms have been
monetized. Its right up their alley, social media kinda evolve throughout
the years, from a viewing portal now its creating interesting opportunities
and generating income and revenue for a lot of people. It is a sort of power
in my opinion, not to be taken lightly or exploited and misused. Its just a
part of the evolution of technology, we are now a species plugged in on a
daily basis, even dependent on it. To some individuals social media is now a
part of human society. Love it or hate it, all of us should be responsible and
careful on how we use social media in our lives. It could be a big help to us
or it could be a complication at some point.

It becomes a trend during pandemic that sellers mostly update their item thru social media to attract more buyers. Thats why facebook  marketplace also added. Since everything now can do online from contacting buyer, paying thru online and booking delivery is now easy, it is better to expand selling knowing there are plenty of social platform we can use and we can attract buyers or investors when we sell items a d services. And its free unlike other platforms that deduct commission in every sale.

Social media is more convincing and safe for transactions or online sales, especially the community on social media usually already know each other long, so that when there are friends who sell it will soon be purchased.

starting from the 2019 covid pandemic, where human movement space is limited, so the online system is growing rapidly, this is like a change in human habits in terms of looking for finance. it will be very easy for those who are at home to market a product until it reaches the buyer. until finally even though the pandemic is over, online business has become a new culture and will continue to grow

Since people began moving their businesses online during COVID-19 and transitioning from marketing to making purchases, considering social media to be a place of the market where you can get anything you want clothes on uploaded WhatsApp statuses and business Whatsapp have features for uploading your product for people to view easily so social media is changing I just feel is a new season, not to mention Twitter which I think is one of the biggest platforms were adverts are made in a short note the world is changing and peoples business are going online in a short while the existence of cash will be no more in generations to come, from cowries to coin to paper money and next the initiative of bitcoin is already replacing so many things in the monetary aspect.

If you cant find things that you are looking for into those common e-commerce site then you would really be finding on FB marketplace or social media which you could really make some search.Some people

do the reverse thing where if they cant find out on socmed then they would go into those e-commerce site,whichever comes first depending or according into your needs.

Considering that social media has the biggest traffic then it would be sensible for you as a business owner on making out some marketing into your products.It would be displayed into the millions
of people around the globe which any business would really be liking on doing that.

The biggest traffic factor in social media allows people to do their product marketing activities because the area is very strategic for marketing although it has reduced the main goal of social media to focus on interacting without advertising services, but because external advertising services offer high fees for account users who have many followers and high interaction, many influencers and artists open space to receive advertising content and even allocate social media space for 20% of advertising or endorsements.

[Smartvirus]

People are spending so much time on social media - be they young or adults.
There are different apps for different age groups - like the youngest like to spend time on instagram where as adults are more in facebook and professional on Linkedin and more educated people on Twitter,

More educated people on Twitter, I wonder who are the professionals then! I don't agree with you very much on the twitter categorisation as as I think, they are all pretty much the same. We've got educated, smart, dumb and which ever category you could think of everywhere. It's just a matter of what purpose and then you find people digging in.
LinkedIn over the years and now still have been more about the professionals given the opportunities it often comes with but still, you could have others that don't know why they own an account there too.

Social media might be the best or worst thing to have happened to man but you can't deny the fact that, its playing its role. Most have utilised it to be self employed and it reduces the level of unemployment, poverty rate and burden on governments.

People in today's world prefer fast,quick and reliable source of information either that is about business or about circulating news and updates. Social media is now more about business ventures and promotions, many small,medium and large scale businesses are going on every now and than.  Each business have their trusted customers.
Social media is less about socializing now . Everything has its good and bad points same is the thing with social media, the miscommunication and misinterpretation of information is the dangerous and harmful side of social media that caused many problems in various countries.

What I like about this development is that a lot of people are earning their income via these social media channels.
During this pandemic, many people use these various social media platforms to sell something in order to survive.
They can easily ask for help also if they need it badly among their social circles.
If we will consider the good side of it, many are indeed benefiting the presence of social media apps.
However, it is still up to the person how he trusts those adverts seen on these platforms.

You could almost find everything online which you could really seek off things which you cant really seek off on other platforms or stores.Its true that on the time of pandemic where social media mediums is really the

most common place where people would be introducing their stuffs and services, considering that social distancing is been applied or having those lockdowns and quarantines which makes things or situation more harder.
Social media isnt only really just good for socializing and stuffs but also in business as well considering on the traffic and how many people do able to see your products
then it would be common sense that it would really be your first choice.

Now the Digital Age is getting more advanced and the technology that supports it is more and more and of course more sophisticated so that for now we as someone who of course has more intelligence than other creatures must obviously take advantage of this for profit. We are now faced with everything related to money and money and of course being on social media is also a lot of opportunities that can indeed be sought to make a profit about it and as you said nowadays there are so many goods and services available that we just need search the Internet if we need.
Today's consumers are sometimes too lazy to go around looking for a product or want something service and this is clearly used as a good opportunity to provide it on social media apart from us being able to generate profits, consumers also don't have to bother looking for something if they want it.

[bitzizzix]

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 it also has an impact on running a business, because all business activities cannot be separated from what is called social interaction.
The business opportunities that arise with the existence of social media as a medium for business transactions and communication are also of various types, but you still have to be vigilant because it does not mean that fraud does not exist on social media. Where there is a field of income or business there must be fraud and we are required to be smart in using it and also be careful.

I also see the fact that more women are using social media as a business tool. because the advertisements for the beauty products they offer seem to have received a positive response from other social media users. and for women this is a good business opportunity. because now women can continue to do business by not leaving home. because they can trade beauty or cosmetic products with social media. Even now there are more and more female influencers, vloggers and even video creators on the biggest social media like Facebook, now more women are emerging and famous. at least social media has been used for positive and constructive things in everyone's economy.
although not everyone can. but at least those who are good at seeing opportunities can always do so.

Social media is one of the most effective ways to market anyone's online business. Through social media, you can reach more people to know about the products you offer that may not be reachable with other advertising media. So, its undeniable that social media and business go hand in hand.

Because technological advancements have made everything easier and created more opportunities for the young generation, social media channels are now used for business because the generation we are now depends on social media. All information, updates, and recent accomplishments are now circulated to the community via social media networks because that is the only channel for spreading news or information in this generation.

Not only women but I see men are also participating in this online market, it can be said that social networks are gradually replacing traditional forms of business. With the convenience and variety, it can be said that doing business on social networks or online helps stores reach a wide range of customers from everywhere, not just in a certain area. This is really a big advantage of doing business on social networks. Nowadays, not only individuals who are looking to do business on social networks but even traditional companies are participating with huge incentives for customers when buying online.

Business is needed to run the Social media. But what you told is true.
The primary focus of the social media entities should be Socializing and next is business

But Everyone wants money. Money is given more priority than Socializing
