The web designer’s guide to social media

With an overwhelming number of new and unique social networks entering the market, it is becoming increasingly difficult to stay focused, or even gain a significant benefit of being a member of any social networks at all.

Social media has become so engrained in people’s lives, often times it would be difficult to communicate without it.

In early 2013 the average user would spend roughly 3 hours per day on social media. At the moment, there isn’t more up-to-date data available, but we can imagine that this number has grown significantly, especially after the rise of social networks like Instagram and Pinterest — true suckers of time and energy.

As web designers, we’ve got a broad spectrum of specific niche social networks available to us. You could say that this part of the Web has got its own system to work with, but I’d like to stress that the big six (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Instagram), are still invaluable when it comes to building your business, or gaining more clients.
