LESSON

Saying that most people spend a good part of their days on social media
would not be an exaggeration. Not in today's world. Social media has become an
integral part of people's lives and daily routines. Some are addicted to it so much
that the first thing they do after waking up is to check their social media feeds.

Given the importance of social media in consumers' lives, marketers and

businesses flock to social platforms in the hope of connecting with their target
customers. However, there is a content overload on social media, and the
competition is very high. It can be challenging for you to stand out unless you have
a clear social media marketing strategy. Staying updated on the latest social media
trends can help fuel your strategy and make you stand out in the crowd.

participation on the social network.

popularity has been influenced greatly by millions of users especially be teens,
university and college students.

process”. The social media displays a sort of immediacy in contrast to what was
obtainable in the previous eras. These immediacy and other features of the media

one would expect from such a deeply embedded and socially ‘shaping’ technology.
