Social Meida and its Goods
Has
social media taken over the world or has it become something that benefits
people? This has been the argument since all the big social media websites have
started such as MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and the list goes on and
on. For many people, all the social media websites have just been distractions
and nothing more. People complain about all of the negatives of these websites like
cyber bullying, sex predators, scams and the most used excuse: procrastination.
Everyone talks about how bad it is and what a distraction it is, but why don’t
people talk about the benefits? For a small business owner such as myself,
social media has been the key to success for our team at Livevil Clothing Co.
We are a small clothing business out of Long Beach, CA “targeting all the
people who want to dress freely but also doing it with style”. This is our
motto and it’s up on every social media website you can think of. These
websites have been the key to our success but it’s not a benefit only to
businesses. The websites help support many other good things in our world, such
as the Kony 2012 campaign. Kony 2012 was the idea of helping Africa capture criminal
mastermind Joseph Kony. When I saw this campaign on Facebook.com, it changed my
point of view on social media way more than I thought I could have. It was the
first time I saw that something had brought the whole world together so
fast. Social media can be a benefit if
you use it the right way. What is it going to be to you—just a plain excuse for
procrastination or something you can use to be a part of success in your life?
