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

[zaki12]

I think it depends on the user, it depends on what it's used for, like a knife, it can cut meat and vegetables but it can also kill, it all depends on the person, just like social media, it depends on the mindset of the person using it. Social media is only a means of uniting those who are far away, stay connected, your friends who are far away, keep socializing with your family who are far away, can find out news and conditions.

Social media unites those who are far away to stay connected, get acquainted with new people, add friends, promote and do business through digital, get news from within the country and abroad, discuss and share knowledge, discuss events that are happening, look for job vacancies, create events or events, becoming an endorser on social media, staying in touch with old friends, keeping abreast of developments in the era of technology and communication, and so on. So I think it all depends on what we use social media for even in a difficult economic situation.

People have realized that Social Media has a power more than how it used to be in those days when people just come online to chat and connect, influencers are now easy to build online by impacting people socially and also sell things for the fans and most importantly, advertise to people but there is one thing I hate how Social Media are been used to promote sells, people that use social media to sell stuffs sometimes lie and hype a product just to get their shares which is not suppose to be so, there are others who the right thing but the bad ones are more.

[harapan]

I think it's both. People still use social media platforms for both business and socializing. More people have begun to use social media in the past decade and it has become a very huge factor for business growth. As a business, especially an online business, the easiest way to communicate with your customers and potential customers is through social media.
Companies can now reach out to their customers easily and fix a problem more easily. They communicate with customers which is also socializing to know their customers better and is also a business strategy. I don't think you can actually measure if people use social media for more business than socializing because a lot of people still use it for both.

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?

You are right and it has become inevitable too. More people are online now so why not take advantage of that by bringing the market/business online on every social media platform. We can see these days how easy it is for people to advertise their businesses on every social media space even when the original information isn't about that business cos it has become much quicker for people to see your business that way and why not make money instead of just socializing on there.

When it comes to traffic or users then it would be no surprise that when it comes to your business exposure then this would be the perfect or sweet spot for you to introduce up your business which it would really be just that a common action to be made by someone who does have a business rather than on focusing on places which does have less.

It would really be that common sense and you arent that dumb on not to take advantage on any platforms out there which does have lots of users  which means that exposure is even more.
It might not guaranteed out sales but somewhat chances on getting one isnt really just that too far off. It would really vary on how well you do market out
your products and services.

Today, thanks to advances in technology, the internet and other virtual environments are as real as the physical world. There is a double edge to the sword that is social media. Its beneficial side, which allows us to communicate with others and share information, is, alas, a double-edged sword. But there are risks involved as well. The allure of social media, a breeding ground for falsehoods and toxicity, can lead us astray from our more pressing responsibilities. However, harmony exists only when things are in balance. As a society, we need to find a way to harmoniously integrate our online and offline lives.

Even governments are using social networks to convey information to their people, showing that people are living on social networks more in real life. Therefore, social networks used for business are inevitable. There is too much convenience if you do business on social networks, such as shopping you can choose directly through the images posted instead of running each store to choose a satisfactory product. Save time and costs for both sellers and buyers.

Even ourselves we are just easily got contactable in social media than calling our contact number as in social media we are always checking this than our messages. The audience also in social is pretty huge like you dont need to go to places just to announce those things like the government they just have a page and  announced there so no need to exert a lot of effort and man power. This also applies to business because of a lot of audience can reach your advertisement then it is a good platform but still the purpose of social media still the same

Depending on how you use it, everything has two sides. For example, money, some people use it for good purposes, but there are also people who use it for evil purposes, so it is impossible to judge whether money is good or bad. Everything is created in this world for the purpose of serving people, and it becomes good or bad because of human behavior, we can't blame them. As long as we use it properly, nothing can harm us.

Social media platform has become the best way to reach out to strangers and tell them about your business as well as people around you, which is really tough if you are doing it physically. You can't spread your advertisements far and people show less interest. Most of the newly started startup businesses are taking their first step through the social media platform. So it's not a surprise as people are using it more for their personal benefits to counter the economic crisis and less active on socializing.

And in fact social media can also be used as a place to find solutions in dealing with the ongoing economic crisis. such as opening an online shop, offering services and others. what we can do to make money as a side income.

we take advantage of more active social activities on social media as a source of income, which is not too bad. we can keep in touch with everyone and also use it to build a side business. some people even have their main job through social media.

n this day and age there is no doubt that social media platforms help businesses connect online. Especially if you are just starting a business, even if you just make and cook at home, if it is food, you can do it without needing to rent a place just to do business.

   It's just like Facebook, just create your page related to your business so that through your page they can send a message to your messenger so that you can have customers online so that it can be delivered correctly and properly.

Yes and it's not only just business, but now we can do anything on social media. The key is how capable we can take advantage of what is in this day and age. We cannot fight against the times, because if we do that we will be left behind from what we should know. It's possible for some people to be uncomfortable or dislike it when there are too many business models on social media, but that comes back to us, because usually social media algorithms are the ones that match what we often see on the platform itself.

While social media has become an important tool for businesses to advertise and sell their products or services, it is not entirely accurate to say that it has become solely a place for business and not for socializing. Social media platforms were initially created for the purpose of socializing and connecting people, and this purpose is still relevant today. Nonetheless, many people have turned to online businesses, either out of necessity or a desire to be self-employed, and social media has provided a convenient avenue for marketing and reaching potential customers. Our society's digitalization has also aided the shift toward online businesses and the use of social media for advertising.

Not going to argue with that. Sad to say but most of those advertisements or even those influencers are sometimes promoting hype while some are scamming people through invitations just liked how crypto was viewed before as a ponzi. Social medias nowadays are composed of various age groups from different parts of the globe, while we could say that some are just having fun and doing their own thing, we couldn't deny the fact that information spreads quickly through that and one reason that there are several victims of those frauds, coz whether we like it or not there're still people that are not much educated when it comes to those schemes.

And even social media also makes it easier for us to promote our business. because on social media we reach more people of all ages and backgrounds and even across countries. so that social media can help the economy if used properly. and of course social media is still where we socialize actively. but people are starting to adapt and start using it with other things, be it for business, building popularity and even for politics. and in fact all that is part of a sociality.

What could have profited a man in this era of digital technology than making money online, we have many social media influencers looking for followers not becau they are interested in them but because they realize the potentials and influence that comes in with having a large numbers of social media followers and information can be easily circulated across the globe because of this influence when they're try to pass something across, also some engage in doing models and brands ambassadors for a particular organization all frombthe sake of social media influence that they just don't post alone, but earn a living through every activities they do on their social media handles.

Social media is a wonderful tool if used wisely. Most of the people are spending hours to create their content and are earning like crazy with both the hands - on the other hand many are just spectator - but both the parties are important.
ITs up to you - there are various ways where you can be benefited.

I have same sentiment since majority of users sees social media as a tool to socialize. It is clear how social media is very useful in advertising your business and this shows how we continually adapt to make everything to be easy to reach. Although, social media have a great use on businesses, I don't see it someday to be the major purpose of social media. It would just be part of the application where the main purpose is to socialize and you can just have the option to advertise yung product and/or use it to do online business activities.

It's our responsibility to take the advantage of social media and let the negative side dies with it. Personally, I refine what I see and read on social media, maybe it's because I'm a mature mind, I don't believe everything and act based on everything. If people could do this, they will only enjoy what the technology of it has brought and even dissuade the mischief makers from what they do.

Social media is another place to promote yourself and your products or get promoted and noticed, which means money and popularity to those that value it.

Conclusively, its benefits will always outweighs its bad side.

In this era of digitalization, it is increasingly making human life easier, depending on how you use it, in my opinion, if someone uses digitalization to advance their business, it is a smart idea, in my opinion, because without having to pay taxes or rent a store where they do business. we really need to appreciate this.
I've noticed that lately there are lots of smart people who use social media to run their business to grow great

I am also a social seller, it really gives me a lot of benefits, it saves me space, staff as well as taxes...Social networks are like other means, the benefit or harm is only the user's fault, not the fault of the social network. It's all human behavior.

Social networks have various reasons why they're made mainly their sole purpose is for profit but they do understand that at the beginning, there should be a service and feature that many users will be able to benefit from. And from that perspective, they've delivered that service for everyone to enjoy, and as technology advances, online shopping, selling, and transactions have been rampant so they're the easiest medium to be used by everyone. It has no gender and status bias because it's for everyone to enjoy such features which can be accommodated by them whether your purpose is to sell products or make your business presence through their platform which is visible and truly helpful for most entrepreneurs and companies.
