Which Social Networks Site’s The Best?

CLICK HERE NOW

When it comes to digital marketing, there are tons of different social networks to choose from – each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

To cover just a few social networks sites, you have:

* Facebook
* Twitter
* Google+
* Tumblr
* LinkedIn
* Instagram
* Pinterest

And this is before you’ve even covered some of the ‘less obvious’ social networks, or the networks that skirt the borders of how we define social media. These include:

* Reddit
* Snapchat
* Periscope
* Forums
* YouTube
* Vine

So yeah, there’s a lot of social networks sites to choose from here… How do you know where to begin?

Of course, you should be on all social media if possible and the expression you will often hear used in this regard is ‘be everywhere’. But if you had to choose just one social network… which would it be?

Defining Your Goals and Understanding Your Audience

If you look at this in terms of pure numbers, then the answer becomes very simple. Facebook is the biggest social network and as such this is the one you should be on if you want the opportunity to potentially reach the biggest number of people.

But as any marketer should know, numbers aren’t really what’s important.

What’s important is targeted numbers. In other words, who are you trying to reach?

And then there are those other factors like ‘susceptibility’ – is now the right time to reach that user? And are you reaching them in the correct way?

To answer these questions you need to define who your target audience is and how best to reach them.

For instance, did you know that Pinterest is the social media site with the biggest proportion of female users? What’s more, it lends itself particularly well to creative topics and to aesthetic and visual subjects.

So in other words, if you have a bakery shop, then you might well find that Pinterest is the right place for you. For a B2B company selling business insurance though, you are likely not going to have as much luck on Pinterest (how do you make this visual and artistic?). There are ways, but it’s not going to be as easy and there isn’t as much potential here.

So to find your best social network, you need to ask yourself where your audience is going to be and what the best way to communicate what you are offering is. If you can answer these two questions then you can find your “route to market” via social networks sites.
