Top 10 Social Media Platforms for Businesses in
2024
There are numerous social media platforms
available and it's difficult for businesses to
decide which ones to use their money and time. It
can be even more difficult to decide which social
media platforms to pick as a consumer. In the
Top 10 listing below, we will highlight the
characteristics and best uses of every social
network. We'll help you pick the right websites
for your company's objectives and the target
viewers.
Before You Begin The first step in choosing the
best social media platforms for your company is
to determine the people you want to reach. If
it's been a while since you've re-established or
updated your audience, use these Buyer Persona
Worksheets to identify new ones. You'll then
need to establish your objectives regarding
social media. This could mean raising awareness
of your brand, interacting with your customers,
providing them with service, and creating leads
or sales.
What to Know About Social Media for
Business When you look through our top social
media platforms listed below, here are some
things to keep in mind
2
These aren't the top 10 most popular social media
platforms in general. These are the platforms
that businesses must use to reach their intended
customers. There are a lot of sites on the
internet that don't seem to be, beneficial to
business, therefore we'll not bother with
them. The statistics for each platform listed
below are global, not only within the United
States. With the development and growth of
technology, and the global bridges that have been
built in the process is important to understand
(especially when you offer products or services
internationally) the entire picture. The numbers
below are for monthly active users of the
platforms, not the total number of users. This
distinction was made because the amount of users
per platform does not give you an indication of
the people who are using the platforms. Many
platforms are plagued by single users creating
multiple accounts or bots, fake accounts, and so
on. "Monthly active users" tells us the number of
users who are using the platforms. We gathered
the statistics of active users per month using
Search Engine Journal, Statista, Pew Research
Center, HubSpot and Buffer.
