5 Incredible Social Media Statistics for 2013
Jun 08 2013
Social media has been consistently growing in importance since its inception, and 2013 has been the biggest year for social media yet. Social 
networks are reaching record-breaking numbers of users, over 88% of businesses are active on social media, and engaging with fans online is the new way to grow your business or brand. Check out these 5 crazy social media statistics, and make sure you are adapting your brand or business if you want to continue to grow!
Facebook has always been a giant in the realm of social networking, but this year it really turned the social media world upside down when it hit over 1.1 billion monthly active users. Now that 1.1 billion people are using Facebook every month, make sure you have an impressive page for your business or brand. Be sure to share a lot of cool content and listen to your fans.
That is a 79% increase in active users of that age group. So if your target audience is people over the age of 50 and you don’t think you need to be on Twitter, think again! Start sharing the type of content that they want to see and read about, and you’ll start getting more attention than you know what to do with.
If you think television ads are the only video you need to be focused on, it’s time to reconsider. Uploading videos to YouTube is free and easy, and it’s easy to find followers if you upload great content. Your videos don’t even have to be promotional – just being present on this network will do wonders for your brand.
If you’re looking to go global or just want to branch out with your professional brand or your company’s, LinkedIn is the place to be. It’s a great way to meet professionals from all over the world, make connections, learn new things, and start getting noticed for the right reasons online.
That’s a 60.3% increase in the last 2 years. Mobile is the way the world is going, so make sure your website is mobile-friendly and that you’re active on social networks so consumers can find you easily.
Social networking and social media marketing are only going to continue to increase in importance. If you want to be connecting with consumers, the fastest way to do it is online.
