There are now 5 "big" social networks, and 6 if you count YouTube. The social media beast has not only become mammoth, but voraciously hungry, needing to be fed on a consistent basis. It is enough to send a business owner into paroxysms of anxiety! It gets unnerving for marketers, too. More channels means more choice, for both the consumer and the marketer. Inevitably, the consumer 's attention span becomes shorter, fleeting and elusive; the number of combinations and messaging options veers towards infinity as marketers combine modalities, narrow demographics and customize a morass of information to be strategically dripped out over time.
For non-corporate businesses and professionals, where there is rarely a marketing person let alone a

Or are they on Hulu watching reruns so they don 't have to watch the commercials? Are they on Pinterest creating dream boards of elegant, sparklingly clean kitchens?
4. What are they looking for when they are there?
Does that fit with anything that would help you tell the story of your business? Every business has a service they provide or a product that they sell. On social media, how the product is made or why the provider acquired the skill of the service, is as compelling as the product or service itself. And usually more so. Look at all of the programs on The History Channel I and History Channel II. Who would have thought, five years ago, the History Channel would be so hip it would need two versions of itself?)
5. Lastly, how can you play in that neighborhood, honoring the culture and community guidelines, such that you can tempt the customers away from there and over to your domain, your site or store?
Here we might look at what has made a customer pick up the phone to call or come into the store in the past, and can we prompt such an action within the confines of that particular platform? Keep in mind that rarely is business transacted on any social platform (think: cocktail party or coffee hour at church) With social media the key is always to get people off that network and into your place to do a
My major is Business Administration, therefore I chose the topic of social media for my informative speech. My personal reasoning for why I choose social media for my speech presentation, is because it allows every person all over the world to access information with one click of a button. Social media relate to business administration in several ways, for an example, picture you are a business owner of a small restaurant in the south, called “Happy Fries.” With the help of social media you can lure in more customers by creating a website online that can inform viewers about your restaurant, the products that your restaurant can offer, and why that customer should purchase from your business. On your website you can have a sign up button, or by having the customer submit their cell phone number to receive instant alerts when there is a special offered. For an example, you have a customer, named Sally, who is 100% satisfied with your business service at Happy Fries when she ordered the seasoned fries; then she would most likely visit Yelp.com and write a personal review, or notify a friend of hers from Facebook.com. Let’s say Johnathan sees her review on Yelp.com, and he presses the like button which causes him to instantly receive a coupon. Johnathan is enthusiastic causing him to become anxious to look into more information himself. He discovers more positive
Unfortunately, that has become social media. I mean literally we have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram; all three of these social media sights play a huge role in marketing. According to (Tuten and Solomon, 2015), “there are two overarching objectives relevant to the use of social media marketing as part of a brand’s promotional mix: extend and leverage the brand’s media coverage, and influence the consumer throughout the decision-making process”. It is so easy to promote a business through a mass amount of people. One of biggest recommendations is to market to your audience, figure out who is eating and purchasing the food and in what areas that are giving you the highest percentage of sales.

Have you ever wondered how some athletes have gotten so good at a certain sport? Have you ever thought about what they did in order for them to get this good? For some the answer is simple; workout and train. But for others the answer is different; the use of performance enhancing drugs such as steroids. There are some people that argue that steroids should be legalized and allowed in professional sports. Other people argue that steroids should not be allowed. Today I am going to state my opinion and justify my reason. Steroids should not be allowed in professional sports because it can be very dangerous to the athlete’s health, it is a way to gain and un-fair advantage and it can be dangerous in both social and physical aspects.

Social media avenues are a new, upcoming, and popular way to advertise for businesses and for people to connect to each other. Alexis Ohanian once said that "Being effective at social media, whether for business or personal use, means capturing people who have short attention spans. They 're only a click away from a picture of a funny cat, so you have to make your thing more compelling than that cat. And that can be a high bar." (Ohanian) Powerful usage of social media can have a big impact.
Social media although a great tool can become an addiction ultimately affecting our lives and state of mind. That is why we need to limit the amount of time and information we share on social networks. Although the internet is a tool full of good and bad available to everyone, teenagers and young adults are more prone to falling into the traps of the internet. People also abuse social media and overuse it every day because they are concerned with what is happening every hour. Social media is a tool not a necessity and should never be abused or used as a diary because it could result in unwanted consequences that can hurt us in the future.
