which social media you find most effective as marketing tool and why?

[vathsala]

I feel Facebook or twitter is better as marketing tool because lakhs of members visit those sites daily . So atleast few thousands will notice our advertisement and come to know about our products and place their orders

[peachpurple]

I found that StumbleUpon is a good site. A few of the external traffic comes from there rather than facebook.

[Alexandoy]

I only have Facebook because my Twitter is not active. With promoting videos, it is not effective because my friends are lazy to interact.

I think taht Facebook, Twitter and G+ are the most effective. Another great site is Tumblr where you can add yor work with hashtags. Also I have heard great things about stumble upon. It is important to share your work on varios sites. You never know who will read your work.

Twitter has helped me the most especially when I was actively writing

Every time I see this question asked somewhere, the majority say Facebook. Is it really that good, or is it more a matter of it being the most popular? Is its popularity the reason it's the better tool (more access to more people) or do people just like the familiarity?

[cessy_08]

I regularly use Facebook so I think it is effective for me. I do read lots of articles and click on links shared by my friends so I think it is a good place to advertise. I never liked Twitter so I don't use it. I do have Pinterest, though and it can get interesting to see images and click to view more.

For me, Google+ is the most effective social media marketing tool for my writings. Then, Pinterest came the next and the third is Twitter.

It's facebook for me. Of course there are others like twitter and pinterest, but I feel facebook is more effective because almost everyone is on facebook. I've seen some online businesses that flourished only with the help of facebook, even without having their own website!

It's both. People are starting to develop a mentality where they think everything posted on facebook is genuine and trustable.. The mass appeal and exposure it can provide is amazing.

[Happyland]

Clearly it is facebook. No other site compares to facebook in size or scope. It has become a marketing tool; in fact the king of marketing tools. Businesses, charities, governments, foundations, hospitals, schools, transportation networks and all other marketers use it. Individuals market themselves as well.

Cool, thanks for sharing the stats! I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook comes in first since I can't think of anybody who doesn't use it!

[maiconfacchini]

I have no doubt that is the facebook . No one currently lives without this social network

[darkthorn]

I believe Facebook is the more effective for small business because it has the largest audience, over 1 billion registered users and 699 million daily active users. Facebook advertising service is also cheap although low click-through rate of Facebook is a bit low.

[DnkH]

Facebook. There is a big amount of people online on Facebook everyday. I mostly use groups to promote my blog.

[Mihailo]

Twitter is the best social media for advertising your blog/forum or a website. Just type "PCStuff forum" on google and my Twitter account is the first one. Also Reddit is also good for advertising, you should try it.

[janetwrites]

Facebook is the most effective social media for marketing because almost everyone is there. You can create FB pages, groups and ads which makes marketing very effective.

[germainebull]

which social media you find most effective as marketing tool and why?

To me, facebook is a good marketing tool.

This is because FB has more users than Twitter.

Marketing messages communicated on FB thus reach more people.
