The online world of Social Media Is Prepared and will look to follow on from a successful 2017, where roughly a third of the 7.6 billion global population were social-media users – with around a quarter having Facebook accounts. This fact tells us that Social Media is continuously growing and as a result is changing the world we live in through 2018 and beyond.
In a reality sense, Social Media has used its power to change the way business people experience the world. Where once upon a time you may have to troll through websites to see what you’re looking for, or even read the the newspaper for the latests goings on, Social Media has stepped the process up a gear, with easy information right in front of your very eyes – you can follow, like or share what you want, when you want.
For example, the fall-out from the US election, Brexit and a UK general election all shaped the previous year of 2017 and those huge events were, in turn, shaped by social media.
This proved beneficial for Donald Trump especially, his and Hillary Clinton’s campaign challenge to become the next president of the United States of America resulted in $81m spent on Facebook advertising alone.
Here in the UK, Labour’s better-than-expected in the general election results were largely down to their social-media exploits. For some observers, social media has become the most influential factor in political decision-making, with a younger audience of voters having much more interest via the powerful tool of social platforms.
As mentioned above and as we all know, in this day and age it’s not too hard to find what you’re looking for on the internet. However, one approach that looks set to grow further in 2018 is advertising revenue. Again, this approach is there right in front of you, whether you like it or not.
This business model is well established, all you have to do is create a social-media platform people like, and find a good way of selling ad inventory on it. In addition, the General Data Protection Regulation will come into effect in May, this will have a very positive impact on social-media advertising. You may have noticed Facebook’s commendable changes to data collection and personalised ads – that will extend across all platforms and add transparency.
