Trends in Social Media for 2014


The Social Media landscape continually evolves and for a business to successfully leverage this powerful business tool, you should be considering what 2014 will bring:

1) Google+ - many experts predict that social signals will be heavily weighed from this social platform.  Google+ may quickly become known as the one size fits all social network as it integrates all functionality into one place!

2) Videos and Micro Videos – videos and Social Media video platforms continue to be a preferred choice to share information and business branding.  Short is sweet with 15 second or less videos becoming the way of the world!  If you are not using Vine or Instagram video, you should be!!

3) LinkedIn will become the king of B2B – with 238 million users and growing, it is one of the largest sources for content creation and curation for professionals.  LinkedIn will also be launching some new programs that can make this an even more important tool.

4) Facebook and Twitter are not going anywhere – These giants in Social Media may be aging, but they have not lost their luster for the people using them.  These are still the big boys out there and if you don’t have a presence, you are losing a huge opportunity for your business.
