Hello friends,
What was the original purpose of social media?
Hi Friends,
The first recognizable social media site, Six Degrees, was created in 1997. It enabled users to upload a profile and make friends with other users. In 1999, the first blogging sites became popular, creating a social media sensation that's still popular today.
Initially, it was a site focused on professional networking, allowing people to connect with business and school contacts, as well as companies. Today, this is still the primary purpose of LinkedIn.
Social media helps to share your images, content and videos to help gain more traffic to your profile and websites.
Social Media Today argue that the purpose of social media marketing is to build a brand and increase a brand's visibility, through building relationships and communicating with potential customers.
