Great information Diane as always.

Great stats Diane, it is a huge market ... however, marketers must be prepared to pay for ads, as the days of free business promotion on Social Media are quickly coming to an end!

Social media without a doubt are a good source of traffic.

It's nice to see the stats, thanks for that, Diane!

Thanks, Diane for the great post.

Great post thanks for the information about all the stats. I should look into some of these a bit more. Keep up the good work.

Excellent ! I was a bit stunned by the statistics. I would never have thought that instagram or twitter would be so populated. Very interesting article.

PS
We can even wonder if we still need a website, ,,

Fleeky ... there is always a need for a website and SEO ... LOL

There are 4.39 billion internet users in 2019, an increase of 366 million (9 percent) versus January 2018.
There are 3.48 billion social media users in 2019, with the worldwide total growing by 288 million (9 percent) since this time last year.

SEO is still a major factor in effective online marketing ...

Hey hey Allan
So true!

We better have one...
🥰
