10 Eye-Opening Social Media Facts & Figures

Hello there, I’m Jim Glover, That Branding Guy, for Once a Day Marketing.  Before we begin today I would like to encourage you again to give me more “likes,” “tweet,” share my blog with your friends and to give me more comments.  I use this information to enhance what I deliver to you as my valuable customer.

Today is Digital Friday and I wanted to bring to you some really eye-opening facts and figures about social media.

I arbitrarily identified 10 facts and figures that I thought were very interesting related to social media.  It’s funny to think that the numbers I give you will already be obsolete by the time I finish this blog. 

·       1 trillion YouTube views in 2011.

·       800 million Facebook users

·       Charlie Bit Me is the #1 viewed YouTube video with 436 million views

·       290 million Tweets on Twitter each day

·       150 million LinkedIn users

·       50 million Tumblr posts per day

·       37 million fans on Coca-Cola’s Facebook page

·       23 million follower for Lady Gaga on Twitter

·       200,000 text messages per second

·       100,000 new Word Press pages each day

The point I’m reinforcing is that social media is here to stay and theses numbers are only going to get bigger and bigger.  In fact, a year from now when we review these statistics again, the figures will probably be mind-boggling as to how vast the difference has become.  Strategically, what you have to do is figure out a way through your social media campaign to cut through the clutter and make sure you find the followers you’re looking for.

I think you’re well armed now to go out this weekend and share all your knowledge about social media with your friends.  To discuss an online or face-to-face service engagement and enhance the marketing and branding for your organization, contact James Glover: (505) 501-1330 or onceadaymarketing@gmail.com.  I’m Jim Glover, That Branding Guy, for Once a Day Marketing and we’ll see you next time.
