1. The Future of
Social Media

2. Social media seems to have grown by leaps and
bounds within the last few years. Businesses
have found it hard to not have an online
presence due to social media integration all
over the internet. Liking a story on a random
news site can mean it posts to your Facebook
page or automatically shares itself on your
Twitter account.

3. The uses we have of social media seem almost
endless. With this new age of social media
discovery it is almost hard to imagine what
could come next. For business this is an
interesting area to explore. New social media
sites mean new and exciting ways to meet
people.

4. A recent explosion in social media comes from
the multi-billion dollar deal courtesy of
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg. Buying
the instant messenger app WhatsApp for 19
Billion dollars earlier this year, it could be a
sign of what’s to come for social media.
Instant messaging is a fairly old trend but has
seen resurgence recently.

5. Nearly 590 million registered users are flocking
to WhatsApp in the United States alone. In a
market saturated with businesses trying to get
their word out in whatever way possible, the
task of sifting through and finding the right
business for your needs can become
overwhelming.

6. Businesses may find that they need to move to
a more narrowed approach in order to get the
most out of their marketing strategy. If this
does happen, Facebook is once more on the
ball when it comes to meeting the future head
on.
Another trend which might have an impact on
the future of social media is simply by looking
around. Images have become the trend.

7. The internet is full of memes, gifs, and sites
dedicated to make images pop. On the
business side of things there is nothing bigger
than the use of an infographic. These images
display data in a new and provocative way
which makes statistics and facts a little easier
to digest and easier to remember in the future.

8. According to The Hub Comms, our profile
pictures on Facebook are now 170% larger
than they once were. 27 million users are on
the site Instagram. The sheer amount of ways
to use images makes it harder and harder for
businesses to avoid creating accounts on these
sites and putting their images to good use.

9. The future is uncertain. Everyone knows this
fact and although it is unknown, it doesn’t
hurt to try and figure out what the future of
social media is. Whether or not Facebook is on
the right page with its investment in instant
messaging is yet to be seen. There was a time
when Facebook wan’t a single word and
Twitter was something a bird made. Tumblr
was a typo and Instagram was some made up
word.

10. Soon enough they all became social media
staples for business owners and entrepreneurs.
It is a way to get your brand noticed and
connect with customers on a more personal
level. In months of years there will be another
new word and new platform to share and
connect on. Until then business owners and
entrepreneurs can make guesses and follow
trends for whatever comes next.
