Social Media And Free Membership Sites
By Christine Wales
Are you interested in reconnecting with your past? Perhaps you
need to find friends that have similar tastes. It may even be
that you need a site that allows you to share stories and your
photographs.
If this is you, then it is time to let social media into your
life. This form of media is a combination of blogging, pictures
and technology. It is a rather broad term that applies to many
different applications in your life. There are many different
websites that can meet your needs rather well.
Social Media Online
Business experts are taking a review of their options and are
perked up at the social media found on the internet. Places such
as Facebook, Youtube and MySpace have a tremendous audience with
younger generations, yet this type of media is not brand new.
It has been around now for quite some time and it keeps increasing
in numbers as more people join. This translates into money for
the business experts who have a share of the financial pie.
Project Advertising In Social Media
So is there money to be made through the Facebook or MySpace
websites? Yes, and it is through project advertising that this
is able to happen. Have you ever noticed when you go through the
Facebook login that you see advertisements located around the
sides of your profile?
Each time someone goes through this link and makes a purchase
or simply visits the website, a portion of the money is given
to Facebook. That is why the site is free to everyone. The investors
make their money through advertising services.
Free Websites May Soon Start Charging For Membership To Cover
Costs
However, one of the problems that Facebook is facing is that
it is being eclipsed by super giant MySpace. With thirty-six million
members versus MySpace’s seventy-six million members, money is
becoming an issue.
At one time, Facebook was a definite money making enterprise
but business analysts forecasted that the cost of running the
website would eventually eclipse the revenue coming in. This could
be a definite problem and it may result in the site becoming extinct
or being forced to charge for membership.
Free Social Networking Site
What happens if Facebook begins charging a fee though? Well,
why would you pay for a profile on Facebook when you could go
to its competitor MySpace for free? The only other alternative
may be for Facebook to be acquired by a larger media group, such
as Google or Yahoo. This would allow Facebook to remain a free
social networking site.
Though most of the social media sites, such as Facebook and MySpace,
are free, Facebook has had its fair share of loses. It is in the
shadow of super site MySpace and unless it finds a way to attract
more members, then it may eventually fade away as it loses financial
ground.
That is not happening yet and surely if that were to arise owner
Mark Zuckerberg may eventually concede to sell or merge Facebook
with another huge corporate giant to keep the website running.
But until then it is free to use and enjoy.
