All marketers need to be on social media, but it can be tough to know where to start. In this post, I’ll cover the top ten social media marketing sources you should use as a marketer in 2019.
Facebook is the most popular social media platform in the world. It has over 2 billion monthly active users and it’s used by businesses to interact with customers, build brand awareness and drive sales.
Facebook offers several ways to use their platform for marketing purposes:
- Create a Page for Your Business – You can create a Facebook page for your business or organization by going to https://www.facebook.com/pages/. When you create an account through this link, you’ll be prompted to enter some basic information about your business including its name, address and phone number (if applicable). After setting up your account as described above, go back into Settings -> Basic and update any information that may have changed since setting up your profile (e.g., email address). Once everything looks good on both pages within Settings -> Basic Info & Privacy Settings make sure that everyone who works at this location has access
Twitter is a social network, microblogging platform and real-time information platform that allows users to post short messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length. You can also include photos, videos or links in your tweets.
Twitter was founded by Jack Dorsey and launched on March 21st 2006 as an SMS service before expanding into other platforms such as desktop computers and tablets. The company has continued to grow over the years with millions of users across the world tweeting daily!
Instagram is a social media platform that allows users to share photos and short videos. It was acquired by Facebook in 2012 for $1 billion, and now has over 1 billion monthly active users.
You can use Instagram to:
- Build brand awareness by posting images of your products or services to be seen by potential customers
- Drive traffic back to your website with links in the captions of your images
LinkedIn is a professional networking site that allows you to connect with other professionals in your industry. It’s the most effective social media marketing source because it provides access to an endless supply of potential customers and leads, including employees, clients, customers and vendors.
LinkedIn can be used as an effective tool for finding new employees or candidates for employment at your company. You can also use it as a way to find out which companies are looking for individuals with certain skills or abilities so you know who might be interested in working with yours!
Pinterest is a visual discovery platform, social network and search engine that allows users to share and curate content.
Pinterest allows users to organize and store images of interests such as fashion, travel and food. Users can “pin” these images onto their virtual pinboards which look like corkboards or bulletin boards. The site was founded by Ben Silbermann in 2010 when he was still working at Silicon Valley startup Evite; he launched Pinterest after leaving Evite when it was acquired by Ticketmaster/Live Nation Entertainment (NYSE: LYV).
After joining Google in 2003 as employee #30 at age 24, Ben spent his career there working on products like Gmail before co-founding Pinterest with Evan Sharp in 2009 when both were working at McKinsey & Company’s New York office
YouTube
YouTube is the second most popular search engine, and it’s owned by Google. YouTube has over 1.8 billion users and is the second largest social media site in the world (with Facebook being first). If your company has a video that you want to promote on social media, then YouTube is a great place for that!
Snapchat
Snapchat is a social media platform that allows users to send photos and videos to friends, called “snaps”. The messages are viewed for up to 10 seconds and then disappear. Snaps can be sent to individual recipients or to groups of friends.
Snapchat was created by Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, Reggie Brown and Frank Reginald Brown in September 2011 while they were students at Stanford University. After its release in July 2012, Snapchat rapidly gained popularity among teenagers because it allowed them to send pictures that would self-destruct after being viewed.[1] In May 2013, Facebook announced its own version called Poke; however this app failed quickly due to lack of use.[2] In 2014 both companies settled their dispute over copyright infringement claims[3].
Google+
Google+ is a social network owned by Google. It’s a competitor to Facebook, but it has a more professional feel than Facebook. Google+ is good for sharing content and connecting with other users who have similar interests.
Reddit is a social news website and user-generated content platform. It allows its users to share links, create their own discussions and comment on the content of others.
Reddit was founded by Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in 2005. The name “Reddit” comes from the phrase “I read it on Reddit.”
There are many different types of communities on Reddit that cater to specific niches or interests, like r/dataisbeautiful for data visualizations or r/gifs for animated GIFs (which has over 2 million subscribers). You can also find subreddits dedicated to everything from politics (/r/politics) to funny images (/r/funny).
These are the top social media marketing sources.

As you can see, there are many different social media platforms to choose from. Each one has its own unique features and benefits, so it’s important that you find the right one(s) for your business or organization. You should also keep in mind that some platforms may not be right for everyone–even though they’re popular among other businesses, maybe your customers don’t use them as much (or at all).
