If Facebook Was A Country It Would Be Bigger Than America!!

by sue on April 26, 2010

Can you believe that if Facebook was a country it would be the third largest country and bigger than America?? That is amazing.  It actually took 4 years for the internet to reach 4 million users and yet Facebook reached 100 million within 9 months!!  This growth is incredible especially when you consider Facebook is free! Incredibly the fastest growing segment on Facebook is woman aged 55-65!!

The opportunities for small business on Facebook and other Social Media sites is incredible and people are making alot of money building their business with them!

YouTube is actually the second largest search engine after Google! This is another incredible fact.  Everyone knows that Youtube has grown at an incredible rate and is very highly trafficked.  Google actually now transcribe every video that is uploaded onto their site, looking for keywords to use in their search engine.  So putting keywords in both the video and the description is now key.

LinkedIn, although far behind Facebook in numbers, is way ahead in the calibre of the users.  LinkedIn is used very much by company CEO’s, Management and other high flyers.  Actually 80% of the companies on LinkedIn use it to find employees; another incredible fact!  Leads from LinkedIn are going to be some of the best leads you could get on the internet!

Twitter is also growing incredibly fast.  Celebrities use it to keep fans updated on what they are doing, companies use it to keep in touch with their customers and friends use it to chat.  Twitter is growing and changing constantly as new apps are made for it.  Twitter is evolving!  Because it is so different to Facebook some people do stay away, but the constant buzz surrounding it means that droves of new people are signing up everyday.

There are over 200 million blogs on the internet today.  Over 50% of these have new content posted everyday!  Basically if you are in business today you need to have a blog to keep your customers up to date with your products, services and special offers!  Well you need a blog and you need to be doing YouTube videos, and you need a Facebook page!  Welcome to the future!!

Any business that is not on social media, I seriously believe is going to be losing out immensely.  I am aware that alot of people out in the ‘real’ world consider it to be something of a fad and not something that they need to be involved in, but I think they are definitely missing something massive.  The figures speak for themselves.

So jump in!  We’re waiting for you:)
