What do you think is the greatest benefit you've obtained from using social media?

[chikitta]

I have learned so many things on social media that I would not have known on my own

[Mark2016]

It was because of social media, I discovered how to earn online. People talked in forums such as these and on other social media platforms. So I started doing research and learned how to write and make money. Once upon the time, I could have cared less for the internet or computers.

I will not go into the details of social benefits of social media but I take full advantage of social media as sharing media and earn money from it. Sorry if I sounded a bit selfish.

[haripriyavkl]

Social media taught me that you can earn in online and it has been nearly a year that I have started working in online in various sites. And also I have learned a lot of new thing sand ways to earn money

I would say that it has enabled me to find old friends that I had lost contact with, and to keep in touch with those who I might not see again. It's also helped me see what people are really life; there are some good decent people and some equally unstable characters out there.

Social media has helped me reconnect with people I thought I would never see again. I love that about facebook. It has its drawbacks but being able to find old friends and even cousins who live far away has definitely been a bonus for me.

Right now I only spend a few minutes in social media, but it help me to connect with friends and family that live far from me. I have also learned a lot of things throught it, and sometimes I only know the news when I am there. It has benefits but it is also a great time consumer.

Social media has enabled me to earn over $1000 in a single year. This is a definite bonus.

[grecy0905]

I think I get a number of views compare to the views I am getting whenever I am not sharing my post on social media. It is a good help but I am not much earning from it, but I still use it and take advantage.

[germainebull]

Social media has enabled me to learn many things that I'd otherwise not learn. I'm thankful for this.

[amitkokiladitya]

Social media has become a life line for so many people these days. It is a backbone of today's society.
It is difficult to find a person who is not using social media on daily basis

[germainebull]

Social media has proven to be an effective means of disseminating my messages online. I've managed to execute various campaigns through social media.

[earthsalt]

Thanks to social media, I am able to take part in social causes that I would never support otherwise. For example, I can engage in a twitter hash tag campaign to alert society about human rights abuses in different parts of the globe

This is true. Social media is an important mediator for social activism.

Once upon the time, I could have cared less for the internet or computers.

Nowadays, no one would dare ignore or dismiss computers. They mediate almost all activities on the face of the globe, not only social media.

Social media is fantastic, but I think it's most useful in keeping people connected. It's very handy when you live in a different country to your friends and family, saving you a lot of money that you'd otherwise have to spend calling everyone. It's served us well over the years.

[peachpurple]

Getting external traffic to my posts of different sites, good point about that

True. Thanks to social media, I am able to remain in touch with a cousin of mine who is halfway across the globe in Australia. And at a largely negligible cost.

[Angie10]

It's also opened my eyes to so many different cultures that I would never have been privy to. I also like the fact that we're able to make virtual friends from all four corners of the globe, people we would otherwise never have been able to connect with.
