WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH

SOCIAL MEDIA? @go4wordpr

Why social media?

Social Media is

Massive!

845 MILLION The amount of users. If Facebook were a country it would be the 3rd largest in the world beaten only by China & India

700 BILLION The amount of minutes spent on Facebook per month

25 BILLION The amount content shared each month on Facebook, but are you sharing?

500 BILLION The number of peer influence impressions Americans generate per year via social media. 62% of those impressions come from Facebook.

24 HOURS The amount of video uploaded to YouTube every minute

92 BILLION The amount of page views generated each month on YouTube.com, but will it blend?

5 BILLION The amount of images hosted Flickr with 3000 uploaded every second, but are you sharing?

190 MILLION The amount of tweets per day. Twitter adds 500 000 users per day with 1.6 billion queries during that time. Twitter caused the largest single info event in human history crashing their servers. Do you have a hashtag to filter this?

#ZaraSA To create hard hitting impact in social media. This was achieved by seeding the #ZaraSA hashtag to bloggers, guests at the launch and the general public. They might have been talking about it anyway but now it could be monitored. By 10pm on the launch date Zara was trending with 1,265,366 impressions.

#DHLStormers 10am – 0 impressions 3pm - 68,152 impressions

140 CHARACTERS

7 HOURS The time it took for LeBron James to amass his first 150,000 Twitter followers. It took Bill Gates 8 hours to reach 100,000.

NINETY-FIVE The percentage of companies using LinkedIn to find and attract new employees

NICHE NETWORKS

ONE-THIRD The proportion of women aged 18-34 who check Facebook when they first wake up… even before going to the bathroom

1 in 6 The number of marriages between people who met via social media. That’s more than the number of people who met in bars, clubs and any other social events combined.

DON’T PANIC. Keep your cool. Never get drawn into a argument. Always apologize. Stay interesting. Have fun. Multimedia is king! Don’t post photos of your hunting trip. LINK

Stay committed.

THE GOLDEN RULEs
