So here we have stats for twitter which is ideal for micro blogging however you have to keep tweets under 140 characters. With 313 million users it I estimated there are 6000 tweets per second with the largest penetration being in the USA.

You can get a lot of engagement with Twitter using # to target topic searches, It is popular with age groups between 18-29 which will rise as that age group gets older.

Its an ideal platform to spread news and articles of interest. I browse the trending map for Twitter that can be easily googled to see whats trending. You can also look on the Twitter home page as well.

To build an audience I re-tweet 3 interesting articles a day in my newsfeed and tweet 3 or for times throughout the day. I don't want to bore people so I keep it to that but my followers are growing and I am getting more engagement.

Twitter is great for public relations.

Hi Chris

Your welcome. I hope it helps in deciding how to post in each platform.

I'm no expert but thought it a good idea to do a brief guide.

Thanks Darren! Interesting stats. Facebook for me is the obvious choice for social media, however I have heard others say they prefer Pinterest. I guess everyone have their individual pick.

What is your opinion as far as FB goes, a business page, or do you use your personal account?

Hi mark

I have a private group called the sensible selling group where I list and source daily deals for members on eBay and amazon using my affiliate links.

I have a fb page called stealthtowealth and a company page for my business.

I prefer Facebook but I do post on all of them.
