The main social media platforms that seem to me to be geared more towards personal use, are Instagram and Facebook because you can control who sees your posts, you can create friend or family groups (on Facebook), and they are image driven for sharing photos and keeping up with people and what’s going on in their lives.
LinkedIn in particular seems to work better for business, seeing as it has been set up with that in mind. There are no personal images or posts there, and it exists to connect businesses and individuals for business purposes. It’s a great place for networking or looking for your next job, seeing where others work, and viewing ratings for employers.
Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram seem to work well for both business and personal. Facebook is great for having business pages that consumers can “like” or “follow” as well as groups for team building or connecting employees. Instagram is great for posting pictures or videos as marketing, or polls to get people to interact with your brand, suggest changes, or gauge interest in a particular product. Twitter is much more public compared to either Facebook or Instagram, and because of this it can be a great customer service tool, or a place to follow the latest comments on a current or sporting event from people all over the world.
Hi Andrea! just so you know, the desktop format of your blog makes it very difficult to read your posts! I think somewhere in the setting you can put post dimensions so it doesn't run off your page. Hopefully its not too hard to sort out!
ReplyDeleteThank you for letting me know. It wasn't doing that at first, but I noticed it recently. Checked settings, but didn't see anything. I'll keep trying to figure it out!
DeleteHello Andrea! I had the same mindset about the topic of personal platforms. Although in my opinion, basically all social media platforms are used for business purposes now. Everyone trying to sell yo stuff everywhere.
