Week 2 Part1:

 In my opinion, the Social Media platforms that seem geared towards personal use are Snapchat, Instagram, facebook, and youtube. The reason that I believe that this is the most used for personal use because most people spend most of their time sharing and posting what they are doing on an everyday base. Most people just want to show others what they are up to with these platforms rather than sell something to the people who are actively participating in their social media accounts. In Snapchat people send each other pictures of what they are doing that day, who they are with, and what they are doing. On Facebook, people are writing a small post of what they are thinking or what is happening in their lives during that period. On Instagram, people are posting the highlights of their lives for others to see, and people are going to youtube to be entertain. 

In my opinion, the social media platforms that I think works better for business are Pinterest and  LinkedIn. These platforms are more geared more towards a business use that can help it make business with others, sell products, and announce product updates. For instance, LinkedIn is very similar to Facebook, the main difference being that in LinkedIn people post their career achievement. This is very important and useful for a business when they are hiring people to work and help grow their company. Pinterest is mainly focused on useful tips and life hacks, but if you really look you will see that every post will guide to or encourage you to buy a product or service. This is extremely helpful for a business to get people to buy their products. 

I think that Instagram, facebook, and youtube work very well with personal used and for business use. The reason being that there are so many people that use this social media platforms and they spend most of their time there that it makes it easy for a business to come in and to show what their business is all about. A business is able to create a personal and relatable to connect with their target market and social media also makes it easy to identify what that specific target market wants. Being involved in social media also makes it easy for a personal user to find what your brand is all about and it will help them decide if they want to support your company. I think youtube is a very efficient way to create a business because you create content where people grow a connection and they get entertain. When you present your audience your product or service they are more than willing to support you.
