For example if you create content and then share it daily on social media you will instantly position yourself to get more exposure and leads.
If you are not sure how powerful social media is check out the statistics of 4 major social media websites below.
Social Media Is Much Bigger Than You Think!
Social media use has taken over the world, and will never go away. You can’t go out to eat without looking around and seeing people more interested in their phone than their food or friends sitting at the table with them. If you are an online marketer you must learn how to use social media to grow your home business! The statistics are shocking and if you are serious about growing your business you want to implement social media ASAP.

See Why Facebook Is The Place To Be!
Facebook has gone out of there way to improve there website to help entrepreneurs and marketers build their businesses. In fact if you were to ask most home business professionals what form of marketing they like the best chances are they would say Facebook and when you look at the statistics you can see why!

Twitter Is The New Google
Twitter is the new Google because of their targeting abilities and massive list building capabilities. Recently I released a twitter ppc course and consider twitter to be a place that most people will turn to once other social media sites start to tighten their belt. The statistics of twitter will also shock you and hopefully encourage you to make that move to twitter sooner than later!
- Twitter now has over 550 million registered users and 215 million monthly active users
- Between 2012 and 2014, Twitter achieved a growth rate of 44%
- 34% of marketers use Twitter for lead generation
You Better Pay Attention To Google+
Google+ in my opinion is Google’s way to keep Facebook from basically taking them over. I must admit I use Facebook much more than Google+ but after seeing these statistics I have decided to really pick up my marketing on Google+. The thing that I respect about Google is that that create trends and they mirror success. What I have found is when you post content on Google + you have a better chance of seeing that content rank in the search engines! For only being around for a few years, Google+ is crushing it and is now something I am focusing on heavily in 2014.
- Google+ now has over 1 billion enabled accounts and 359 million active monthly users
- Google+ is has a growth rate of 33% per year
- People aged 45 to 54 years old have increased their Google+ usage by 56% since 2012
Let’s Not Forget Some Of The Other Hot Visual Social Media Sites Out Their!
- YouTube has over one billion monthly active users
- Pinterest has 20 million monthly active users
- Instagram has 150 million monthly active users
These statistics are great but only if you tap into them and use them for your business. The key to making all of this work is to be consistent and offer value and your social media friends and followers will love you for it!
