10 Eye - Opening social media facts & figures - Digital friday/promotion

Hello there, I’m Jim Glover, That Branding Guy, for Once a Day Marketing. It’s Digital Friday and before we begin today I would like I want to encourage you again to give me more “likes,” to “tweet” me more often, to share my blog and to give me more comments because I take all that information and I keep trying to enhance what I deliver to you as my valuable customer. Today is Digital Friday as I said and I wanted to bring to you today some really eye-opening facts and figures about social media. I arbitrarily went out and identified 10 different facts and figures that I thought were kind of interesting related to social media. And whatever number I give you in a moment I know that when this video blog is done those numbers will already be obsolete but let’s just start. There were 1 trillion YouTube views in 2011. At present, there are 800 million Facebook users The #1 most-watched video on Youtube is called Charlie Bit Me and it has 436 million views There are 290 million Tweets on Twitter each day There are now150 million LinkedIn users There are 50 million Tumblr posts per day There are 37 million fans on Coca-Cola’s Facebook page There are 23 million follower for Lady Gaga on Twitter * There are 200,000 text messages per second * There are 100,000 new Word Press pages each day The point I’m making here is that social media is here to stay and theses numbers are only going to increase. They’re just going to get bigger and bigger. In fact a year from now when we do this again it will probably be mind-boggling how vast the difference really is. Strategically what you have to do is you have to 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 to your friends.

I am Jim Glover, That Branding Guy, for Once a Day Marketing and we will see you next time.
