Do you think social media is now becoming more a place for business than socializing, Could it be as a result of digitalization and things moving online or more people now starting business online because of need to somehow generate income or another source of income for self to survive the economic situations which is becoming tougher?

Social media is now something that cannot be missed, because almost everyone uses social media. and social media now has many uses, one of which is for selling, and I also sometimes sell clothes through social media. and the results are indeed quite good, the most profitable is not tired of promos and saving capital, all you have to do is post product photos and upload them.

Creativity is the key to success - sometime the idea sells - the other time services sell
But the more creative you are the more successful you are on social media.
Alongside you have to be consistent for being successful on social media

Opening social media nowadays seems to be a boring thing because spammers always use special tags for promotion, many people use social media for business facilities, of course this is not wrong if they can limit or not overdo it, the presence of tools such as scheduled posts makes them more active to use social media for promotion.

When we are talking about social media in general, the main objective should be to disseminate information and to promote services, chat and relate with others you know, but if we are to look into what it has turned to be today, we could see that many people now uses it to make evil attacks on others, so if one must follow a user or fan page on social media, then it must tlve investigated to be a reliable one from the genuine official website, because we've got many imposter now.

I second with you - social media has changed the life of people all together
tiktok, instagram, facebook, youtube are business these days and it has changed the life of people altogether

And it's a real thing, social media nowadays is a place where people gather widely, so it's a good decision to market products on social media, and we see that shift carefully day by day.
although basically changing other habits but social media is a fair market I think for doing business,
I understand that so many people follow trends so they get an audience and followers, especially what I use is the tiktok application, where people sell by showing and trying their products, which in my opinion is not like the usual online market.
I think most people use social media to sell rather than socialize like in the past, in general most people turn to cyberspace in living their lives for today.

The so-called socializing equates to money for some people. I was discussing with a friend and she told me that she got money from posting a video on TikTok I ask her to expatiate what she did. Also using social media for your business you can use sponsor ads which will go as far as any state you want and your goods will be advertised for a token which will bring more customers and will generate more income for you

Here you should consider the point that people watch videos mostly for the first 3 seconds. If the content is not engaging, the person starts watching the next video. Therefore, to create a promotional video that will bring in customers, you need to have a good knowledge of marketing.

it takes marketing expertise in this case to attract everyone's interest. As in creating video content on social media, we often see that the thumbnail of the video always displays a screenshot of the climax of the video content itself. which will make people curious and eventually watch it in its entirety. this is similar to studying SEO in blogger activities.

I do agree that thumbnails could initially attract a persons interest whenever someone is browsing on social media platforms, but nowadays the most viewed contents are those shorts coz most people find it too long to watch those videos and tend to get boring as the time passed. This is why lots of tiktok videos gained a lot of views coz aside from they are short some are utilizing their own ideas for them to earn not only views and followers but also extra income by promoting something in the platform, and most common promotion nowadays are affiliate markets from amazon.

social media over time has changed our views, which were only a place to socialize, now it has changed to a place to sell. This certainly has a positive side for us as a businessman in introducing our products to the wider community and being more efficient in financial terms.
But there are also many negative sides, we often see people being deceived by products sold on social media, sometimes not according to what the seller describes.
so in my opinion we have to be smart in interacting on social media.

I totally agree with you over this point - it has changed the lifestyle of the people all together
people are no longer finding jobs but they are learning the skills and earning a better livelihood.

Now during these day the lifestyle of the people has changed altogether and social media has played a vital role in all this.
Now people don't watch tv much - they go for the Raw and unedited videos - and those are more catchy and reliable

That is very true. User-heavy social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok are a business field for selling. Because social media is a place to find information, and we can sell something there. it's like a crowd of people and you sell or advertise there.
Until now, I also have several friends who still advertise their products on social media such as Facebook and Instagram. people tend to be interested in seeing a product there instead of trying to get their attention in the public. it's always about business.

It's also important to consider ethics and the impact of social media on people. Companies must be careful not to be too invasive or manipulate consumers, in my case, for example, I filter ADS a lot and I usually use alternative clients to view social media without sponsored advertisements. It is true that the masses do not consider this but I think ADS are annoying. for this reason I prefer Mastodon or Nostr.

A few days ago I came across an advertisement displayed on social media. the ad contains an advertisement about a telegram channel that contains signals for coins to be pumped. and I try to enter it. and I'm starting to suspect that this channel is actually trying to trick ordinary people into falling into the honeypot token trap. i.e. tokens that can be bought but not sold. I used to have such an experience. i.e. being fooled by channel pumping which in fact leads us to the honeypot token.

so I feel that currently even social media is also being used by many fraudsters through paid advertising services on social media itself. so we have to be more careful in clicking on ads on social media.
Social media may have helped the economy by making it easier to do business and trade. but on the one hand it also makes it easier for fraudsters to find prey.

Yeah your friend might find that social media is super helpful when it comes to selling things. There is bunch of tool and targeting audience on social media advertising.

Social media gather our data like the post we like the hashtag we follow what content we are interested, Its like spying but like it or not that is what happens so the ads always follow us.

In my opinion, social media is always a business that stays free to customers like us so they can sell the data to other companies or advertisers.

That is why we mostly see ads on social media that are a match to what we want. and this kept circle around until new social media was created facebook -> Instagram -> TikTok.

Twitter after acquired by Elon musk they offering subscription to remove some ads and somehow to keep company running without depending on ads.

Due to covid the people are unable to attend job physically due to restrictions in every city therefore they prefer online jobs. From then online jobs attract great curiosity of people and one other thing about social media is that people are unable to maintain their life expenses because their salaries are not much higher to fulfil requirements.

Individuals wants to get involved in another business which provide them good income therefore social media play a unique role in giving users this opportunity. Due to certain crisis individuals cannot get their jobs therefore social media are the way where there are lots of online jobs where there is no restrictions and everyone can do it.

I recently read a book by futurist Alvin Toffler about the second and third wave of technological development.

The second wave is the industrial wave, the third wave is the information wave. The second wave is centralized structures, the third - decentralized structures.

We live in a time when both of these waves affect our lives. And it is this circumstance that is the cause of crises, wars, mental disorders, and so on.

Social networks are the brainchild of the third information wave. Social networks allow millions of different people to interact with each other, most of whom have never met or seen each other. Each of the users of social networks can create a new thematic community and unite different people in it. When the community organizer earns the trust and authority of other members of the thematic community, he will be able to sell goods (works and services) to them - that is, he will be able to conduct business.

This is a decentralized approach, characteristic of the third information wave.

It seems that social media still partially charges for free, but now there are those who manage with the intention to also accept payments by changing a few appearances on social media and a few rules. where the ads that are presented will continue to be able to appear in front or at the beginning when everyone opens social media.
by displaying it at the beginning, you will get additional information, which can then be presented every day and not overwritten by new advertisements.
After all, social media managers can get paid for the management they provide, even though the value is not as expensive as advertising in general.

but doing something like that is a smart and wise action, because business opportunities are very good when promoted on social media.

It's true that social media has evolved beyond just a platform for socializing and has become a powerful tool for businesses to market their products and services. The shift towards digitalization has definitely played a role in this, as more people are online now than ever before. Additionally, the economic situation has also made it necessary for many people to explore alternative sources of income, including starting their own businesses. Social media provides a low-cost and accessible way for individuals to promote their businesses and reach a wider audience. However, it's important to remember that social media should still be used primarily for socializing and building relationships, rather than just promoting businesses.

some people have amazing skills to use the social media and has done wonders over there. While the other are goood in scrolling and wasting time on the social media. Both the types are obviously important - one that have business mind and the other who are lazy and are busy in 9-5 job.
