Do mentions of Facebook and Twitter send chills down your spine? If you haven’t yet found your way around these social media platforms, take comfort in the fact that you’re not alone.
And if you’re already a fabulous Facebook member or a seasoned Tweeter, there may still be a few things that you have yet to discover…
Social media platforms frequently update and reinvent themselves to be more efficient, user-friendly and in touch with technological advancements. For those of us just starting out, this can prove rather confusing and difficult to keep up with.
Feeling at home with your new Facebook or Twitter account is best accomplished with a bit of experimentation. Set some time aside to really immerse yourself in both and you’ll quickly begin to realise that, although things may seem confusing at first, the designers and programmers who put Facebook and Twitter together really want you to learn the ropes and become a fan quickly.
And if you’re wondering why you should even bother in the first place, there are several benefits to being social media savvy.
Social media is changing the way we interact. Facebook and Twitter, for example, have the power to inform us (Twitter is already a rich source of news), create valuable networks for us, provide businesses and organisations with valuable exposure, and share information with large groups of people in no time at all.
Did you know that both Facebook and Twitter are two of the most cost-effective and valuable marketing tools available to you?
A Facebook page, if you know how to make the most of it, is a wonderful way to grow your business or rally support for your cause, increase traffic to your website, and provide people with constant and easily accessible updates, all within seconds.
