Social Media as a Money Maker

Before social media became an extensive resource world-wide, people pursued businesses through Brick and Mortar startups. Social media has not only enabled business start-ups, but has integrated itself as a full-time job. It provides targeting capabilities, promotional strategies, and the ability to reach a large-scale audience with minimal capital invested.

Businesses are using Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and Pinterest to run their businesses. With the use of messaging, photos, links, influencers, engagement statistics, followers, shares, comments, likes, aesthetics, the opportunities are endless. Businesses can encourage their audience to engage in transactions and manage relationships with customers at a low cost, furthermore enhancing the return on equity.

    It is true nowadays that Social media has become an extensive mechanism used by the businesses to reach their potential customers broadly at fraction of cost. Social media has also introduced the people who have never thought of getting into business world, want to become one because it provides easily accessible to reach consumers without having an office, overhead cost, or employees. People can just sit at home and still can make money through selling goods or services to their consumers locally and worldwide. I have a friend whose her son is playing music. He recorded it and sold it in you tube which he earned enough money to pay for his meal when he got out with his friends. With Social media, the opportunities to make money are undeniable.

    I agree with your opinion. Because I spend a lot of time in social media, I often see lots of product advertisements and product referrals by influencers. If the influencer is someone I'm interested in, I definitely want to try the product the influencer is advertising. I thought that today's business is using people's emotions very well.

This specific bully can then twist the situation to pick on the victim even more by calling them weak, claiming they ran to their mom, saying they’re a tattle-tale, and so on. Having teachers and parents constantly defending the victim shows a sign of weakness. Behavioral patterns are also extremely difficult to change, and sometimes punishing the bully may only fuel their fire.

Does Social Media Foster Insecurity?

We claim that our purpose in using social media is for networking, connections and keeping up with the Jones’s. However, there is an underlying suppression of insecurities that the digital world causes. Whether this is implicit or explicit, people tend to naturally compare their lives with others. There are times where I purposefully compare myself to others, and times that I catch myself in the middle of creating a comparison in my head. When these thoughts enter my head I am putting myself down, lowering my self-esteem and fostering insecurity. Other subjects of insecurities caused my social media involve intimate relationships and cyber bullying. The result of these insecurities can lead to terrifying mental, emotional and physical health problems. The Royal Society of Public Health conducted a survey of around 1,500 people between the ages of 16 and 24 to better understand insecurities created by social media. Here are some interesting statistics on the topic: Rates o
