I can see where all the network platforms are really important to business, however, I'm not sure all of them are that important for an bookkeeper. Guess I'll find out as we get further into this. I've struggled a bit with assignment because I'm not sure Mary's page requires all the resources.
Mary should definitely be on Linked In and probably Google+ but I'm not sure yet about Instagram or Tumblr. As a bookkeeper I suppose a Youtube video would work for capturing an audience. We will need to look into creating one (or more) that would benefit her.
The 4 most widely used platforms according to the number are Facebook at 1.39 billion users
YouTube at 5.4 million users, Google+ at 5.4 million users and Instagram coming in at 300 million users.
Facebook is miles ahead of everyone and for good reason. It's a great way to see what you need to quickly with little effort.
YouTube is of course very effective because it is so much easier to watch a video of something verses reading a PDF. You have to be willing to have your 5 minutes of fame or find someone willing to take on that role. I suppose it may be difficult to make a good video interesting enough to get folks to want to watch as well.
Google+ seems like it has a few things to offer similar to Facebook but the images can be quite a bit larger. It doesn't appear to have a timeline. I'm still trying to figure it out. It will be good for my own business when I get it up and running to hang images that will be in need of exposure for (graphic design).
Instagram is all about the pictures of course. It allows you to place images randomly for a "behind the scenes" effect. Not sure this will work for Mary but, I could be wrong. Maybe posting pictures of events that she could have (open houses for example) may show people her sense of community...
