So now, I will list the top of the most popular and effective social media platforms, a business person could use.

Best of the Best Social Media Platforms

When we say social media platforms, there are two things that would always come inside the minds of the people – Facebook and Twitter. Maybe, Google+ should be with them, but since it is still new, many question their validity.

Going back to Facebook and Twitter, these two are in the top 10 pages in the world; Facebook places 2nd, Twitter at 9th. We can definitely expect these two to improve their ranking.

Other Social Media Platforms

Aside from the best 2 social media platforms stated above, there are still other social media platforms that are patronized by people as well. These other platform are also known to be effective use in online business and driving traffic to websites. These social media platforms are as follows:

LinkedIn – This social media site which placed 13th in world page rank was opened in 2003. Most people in LinkedIn are business personalities. One of the problems people face with LinkedIn is that after they share their business’ information on the site, they do not know where to go from there.

Tumblr – It is one of the mini-blogging social media platforms which is very easy to customize. Plus, its reblogging feature makes it easier for them to spread news and information about your brand, most especially if it’s visual.

YouTube – YouTube is one of the closest friends of Google, in terms of audio-visual presentation. There are times when we find it hard to understand information that are only explained through texts, that is why an audio- visual presentation is sought.
