Social Media: More Than a Hobby


Is social media a hobby or can it help your business? Is it a complete waste of time or can it provide extra revenue for business owners? The answer to those questions depends on how you use the social media. If you view it as nothing more than a toy, you won’t benefit from it. But if you use it to promote your business, you’re on the right track. 

Building relationships online using the social media is always a fruitful activity. Consider these facts: nearly half of all Filipino have a profile on at least one social network. Many of these profiles are visited by many people. 

For instance, Facebook alone has almost 130 million visitors a month. If you translate that to potential customers, your business will surely grow. When used properly, the social media can serve as the key to building better relationships with clients. 

Conversations are taking place every day on social media sites so it’s essential that you know how to talk to these people to drive them to your site. Blogging with the help of the social media can promote your business and bring you closer to your professional goals. 

To get started, all you have to do is to talk abut something you’re passionate or care about. Whether you’re looking for a new job or promoting something, creating a blog using the social media is the first step toward achieving success. 

Since blogs are specialized Web sites that work like online journals, anyone can publish their thoughts for  millions of readers to read. Connections are made when readers comment on your post and later become new clients. This makes the social media sites an important element of any business.

  1. Social media is good as long as it is properly used and not being abused. There are people kc na gagamit ng social media to deliver hate campaign and to upload scandals which is very abusive to think that we can use it for a good cause for free diba!

  2. I agree that social media is a great tool for businesses to connect with their customers. What's even better is that sharing one's products would be better, this is like an improved version of word-of-mouth.

  12. Today's generation is blessed to have social media. It's much easier to communicate, build long lasting relationships, promote businesses and strong partnerships. However, there are scrupulous people who use social media to do crime. It is our duty to be vigilant and use these tools wisely and responsibly. :)
