- Once the video is uploaded, processed, and ready to view, you will be notified. The closed captioning will be viewable at that time.

When creating a Facebook Business page, the very first step is to choose what type of page you would like.

Whether you are using Facebook for branding or not, your competitors are using. A very big market opportunity waiting for you.
Facebook Messenger is the top mobile app by the number of downloads. And the main Facebook app is second on the list. The dominance of mobile implies that entrepreneurs need to make online content mobile friendly.
WhatsApp is third and Instagram is fifth in terms of downloads. Did you notice all these Apps are from the same company? Yes, Facebook is the leading company.
- Focus on Gen Z
- Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1944 and 1964. ...
- Gen X: Gen X was born between 1965 - 1979 and are currently between 39-53 years old (82 million people in the U.S.)
- Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1980 and 1994
- Generation Z, are those born in 1995 or later.
Focus on Gen Z in 2019. Gen Z has entered the workforce, and this generation has over 75 million people who are not teenagers anymore – they are consumers who influence $600 billion of family spending.
Gen Z can quickly and efficiently shift between work and play, with multiple distractions going on in the background...working on multiple tasks at once. Just think about how this kind of flow might reshape the office.
Consider this data: 80 million small and medium-size companies are marketing on Facebook on monthly basis. 25 million businesses promote their products on Instagram. 94% of B2B marketers promote their brand by posting regularly on LinkedIn.
The challenge is, how to keep up with the changes on various digital platforms. The answer is to read and study changes in social media sites. Better still come and meet me every Wednesday online at this time. Knowing the latest trends is a proven way to change your social media marketing strategy and sustain the company's success.
Snapchat and Instagram will be the most important social media channel in the year 2019, because Gen Z will dominate the market soon.
- Include the following in your 2019 action plan:
1. Amongst your busy schedule does not forget to reply to people who are commenting on your post. This one task you need to do it yourself. All other normal postings etc. you may outsource but replying to comment need to be handled personally. This is almost a daily, or once at least once in two days task.
2. Another regular task in reviewing and revising keywords. This needs to be done once in three months.
3. If you are planning any EVENT, make sure you announce the same well in advance. In addition to Facebook Event, post on Meetup and Eventbrite. Do not forget to link the Eventbrite URL in your Instagram profile. See 'Get Ticket' button example (on mobile)
What do you think of the social media marketing trends for 2019? I will be happy to know more in the comments!
