Instagram is now more than just a place to share pictures with your followers. You can now directly send pictures to designated users. When Instagram released the ability to share videos it was clear that they were willing to compete with other social media platforms such as vine. Now with direct photo messaging they are just one step further in competing with new social media platforms. Instagram released a statement on their blog, “There are, however, moments in our lives that we want to share, but that will be the most relevant only to a smaller group of people—an inside joke between friends captured on the go, a special family moment or even just one more photo of your new puppy. Instagram Direct helps you share these moments.”
Instagram has clearly attracted a large audience and many young teens are turning to Instagram instead of Facebook or Twitter. Instagram has really offered a unique way of visual communication. Now with direct messaging users can easily share photos by looking up the user. Instagram has put a button on the upper right side of the app screen to open direct messaging. Direct messaging is another way to share great photos privately without showing everyone who is following you the photo you post.
Instagram that was purchased by Facebook for 1 billion dollars has over 150 million users. Users range from teenagers to young adults and even have celebrities. Instagram gives you the opportunity to take a picture and modify it with the 16 Instagram filters. Direct messaging allows your pictures to be kept more private and intimate with your close friends and not the 500+ followers that you never normally would talk to.
comment section, but rather, actual informative conversations. While the idea sounds great in theory, Google has achieved this through integrating Google+ into the site’s commenting functionality. What does this mean? It means that the comment section of YouTube will no longer allow for anonymity and thus, there will be controlled comments.
changes, or if they’re sitting in a hot spot. Your consumers will be interacting to you on social, and responding at the speed of social will show that you not only have a grip on your service, but that you are engaged and listening to your consumer. A great example of this is the 
Think of the crowd as public perception or your social “community.” The crowd on social is real and engaging (and is growing massively!) The crowd is also responsible for the virality that has taken over the web. While many businesses are making their presence known on social media, they are forgetting to engage the crowd and thus, to create a community. A great way to remember the importance of this is to realize that product sentiment and brand sentiment are two very different things; people can love your product, but it doesn’t mean that they like your company. Creating a brand that evokes your company’s message, and carrying that into your daily social postings will help to include (and create!) a Crowd!

has been the top choice for a few years now. With the constant updates that facebook offers to stay relevant, is all the more reason why your strategy for marketing on facebook should be up to par. Of course there are people that dominate facebook and continue to grow their businesses. Then, there are those that are struggling to create a buzz, and are failing miserably. It time to start analyzing your moves and techniques, in order to get better results. Lets take a look at three reasons why your facebook strategy is failing.
Reason number two for your failing fb strategy is maybe you’re not consistent. Lets face it, as human beings, we have to see something over and over in order to stay interested. If you are not putting yourself, idea or product out there constantly, then you will get lost in the matrix like you have never existed. A good idea is to choose specific times in which you want to market to your target. For example, if you are offering a product and business that will bring financial freedom, then plan times and attractive marketing that will pull them in; such as every morning before people go to work, just when they’re getting home from work, or even throughout specific days. The point is that must know who you want to target and stay on top of that.
don’t know how to interact with people. It is very easy to post and do videos, but what happens when you are approached? You may be lacking in communication skills that people expect you to have. To the prospect, you have something that they are looking for and may be solving some type of problem that they have; therefore, they expect you to guide them to the point of surety and comfort in closing a sale. You represent what you are advertising. Yes, people can read information and watch videos, but people want to have, and in some cases, need a guide into what they are getting into. So, ask questions, interact and converse with people. It’s always a good way to build because that person may bring others to you, just for your communication skills with them. Be helpful and useful, it’s what people virtually look for.
Twitter is a unique creature. It is about quick posts that happen frequently. The time invested in posting needs to be short and to the point. Statistics show that the tweets that are under 60 characters are highly effective. The language that is used for those tweets adds that much more to the audience.![The Best [And Worst] Times To Post](https://wizler.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/google+++++++++-300x204.jpg)
begin at six in the evening and go until seven in the morning. That offers far more time to post things for followers to see and interact with.
By looking at this year’s correlation data, it shows that there are significant correlations between those who are using Google + 1 and receiving higher rankings. However, when Google was confronted with this theory, they said that the algorithm doesn’t include the +1’s at all. While this doesn’t mean that this is not important, it just means that the pages at the top all tend to have something in common, Google + 1.
Events are awesome because they have a lasting effect and allow for a lot of personal interaction. It is a great idea to cater your event to both your product and to what is going on in the media, or even to the seasons. Here are some examples:
