10 Rising Social Media Platforms to Watch 2023
Apart from Facebook and
Snapchat, we are also looking at platforms like Reddit and Pinterest to improve
ads and marketing features. However, if your role
specializes in social media, visitor growth, or online engagement - or if your
company targets adopters in Gen-Z or early Millennials - you may still gain
momentum after looking for a platform.
Why? Developing youth,
committed social channels will help you decide which one is best for you to
join and which one is not suitable for your time. And, if you're just starting
out on a hot new social channel, you might have more time to choose what
promotional content works there. This will put you ahead of competitors who may
be struggling to get their accounts started later and come up with creative
post ideas.
To help you stay on the path to
social media, we've rounded up a list of five young social platforms you might
want to put on your radar this year. These platforms were either launched or
fully rebranded in 2016 or later. They have all garnered a large user base,
interest from investors or news buzz in recent months.
For each platform, we'll give
you a user base on how it works, why it might be promised to marketers next
time, and how you should approach it today.
1. TikTok:
In 2018, the lip-syncing app,
Musically teamed up with a one-year-old app called TikTok. Since then, TikTok has been reported to have passed nearly 500 million active monthly users. With about a billion users worldwide, TikTok is now the most popular app in the App Store than Instagram, Facebook and other leading social media platforms. Therefore, it makes sense for brands and influencers to spend on services such as buying followers, likes, and real views on tiktok videos to increase brand visibility.
For those who remember Vine or
Musical.ly, Tiktok is a mixture of the two. The platform lets you film short
videos that can be played in a recurring loop like Vinn's. However, you can add
fun effects, AR filters, text and musical overlays to Just Just Ups, like
Musical.e or Snapchat. Similar to video platforms, this is primarily accepted
by users under the age of 30.
Once you've created a video,
the app lets you customise it by adding hashtags that will make it easier to
find by searching.
One way the ticket has been
receiving hashtags is through its "Challenges" tab. This area of the platform will prompt you to offer a challenge
with a themed hashtag. When you post a video that responds to a problem, you
can include the related hashtags so that the followers of the problem can
watch your videos.
According to HubSpot's social
media community manager Crystal Wu, the app is "entering the brand's
Territory" in addition to being fun and entertaining. He explained that
more brands are on the platform and added, "The Washington Post is cool
and they're pretty popular."
As you would expect a newspaper
to post content with a more severe or investigative tone than you would like,
The post shows a bit of light behind the scenes towards its newsroom. In this
example, one of its journalists fights to walk down the stairs in the words of
MGMT's "electronic feeling".
Brands like Estimate have also
begun experimenting with TikTalk. To highlight the new line of denim clothing,
Speculation introduced the #IMiddleName Challenge to encourage users to publish
their own video of the "I'm a Mess" gas game denim wearing the Bebe
line.
At this point, fashion,
publishing and entertainment companies have begun to play with Tiktok. As the
platform grows, we see it expand into other industries that can get
creative and visual with their marketing strategies.
You can also try to brainstorm a few challenges or video ideas that can
better align with the young audience of your brand and platform. If you see a
brand that looks like the same brand, follow them for some inspiration.
2. Tinder:
While not exactly a social network, Tinder is
a mobile dating app that can pull the necessary information from your photos and your
Facebook account. Users can swipe "yes" or "no" to
potential matches nearby. If the feeling is mutual, people can chat within time. Android and iOS devices can access Tinder.
3. WhatsApp:
WhatsApp is a messaging app used by people in
more than 180 countries. Initially, WhatsApp was only used by people to
communicate with their family and friends. Gradually, people started
interacting with the business through WhatsApp. (When I was in the bank to buy
a new suit, I contacted Dorje via WhatsApp.)
WhatsApp is building its
business platform to help businesses have an accurate business profile, provide
customer support, and share updates about their purchase to customers. For
small businesses, it has created the WhatsApp Business App for medium and large
companies, there is a WhatsApp Business API. Here are some stories of how
businesses are using WhatsApp.
4. WeChat:
WeChat has evolved from a messaging app to an
An all-in-one platform like WhatsApp and Messenger. In addition to messaging and
calling, users can now shop online and use WeChat to make offline payments,
make money transfers, make reservations, book taxis and more.
WeChat is most prevalent in China
and some places in Asia. If you do business in those regions (where social
media platforms like Facebook are banned), WeChat can be a good option.
5. Sina Weibo:
Sina Weibo is often referred to as Twitter for
Chinese users (since Twitter was banned in China). It has features like Twitter
- 3-character microblogging, uploading photos and videos, commenting and
verifying accounts.
If you would like to find out
more about Sina Weibo, write a helpful brief on What on Weibo, a social trends
reporting site, Sina Weibo.
6. Messenger:
Messenger used to be a message
feature within Facebook, and since 25, Facebook has turned Messenger into a
standalone app and significantly expanded its features. Businesses can now advertise
in Messenger, create chatbots, send newsletters, and more. These features give
companies multiple new ways to engage and engage with their customers.
If you are thinking about using
Messenger for your business, here are seven ways you can use Messenger for your
marketing.
7. Bytes: Video looping:
It's a video platform with a 6.5-second
looping structure and it comes from Dom Hoffman, the founder of Vinn.
While we're still waiting for more
information on what this app requires with Hofmann's previous experience (and
success), it's likely the 2019 short-form video platform.
8. Vero:
Vero is an Instagram alternative that boasts
no advertising, no data mining and no algorithms. Vero users can share photos,
music, TV shows, movies, books, links and more. Furthermore, users can decide
who can see each post by following it in four categories: each close friend,
friend, acquaintance or follower.
9. Caffeine:
Caffeine is a social broadcast
platform similar to Twitch that created a team of ex-Apple designers and
focuses primarily on gaming, entertainment and creative arts. You can create
live broadcasts for friends and followers, and viewers can interact
with you in comments and emoji responses in real-time. According to Livestream,
5 per cent of consumers will watch videos directly from the brand rather than
read a blog, so broadcasting live on a platform like Caffeine can genuinely
generate a lot of attention and interaction. And it's not just for gamers. Your
business can be hosted as a live Q&A, a behind-the-scenes tour of your
organisation, displaying products and more.
10. Linkedin:
Linkedin provides social networking for
professionals. As the site grows, it becomes one of the best ways to build your
CV, find new jobs and network with your professional circles.

issues, including the use of nearly 90 million Facebook profiles (without prior
consent) to do so.
As a result, many Facebook
users have been alerted to this platform by other social sites at their
convenience, evaluating honest, transparent and personalised communication for
their users. The emphasis on confidence and transparency will continue in 2019
With Facebook itself promising to change how it collects data and uses
advertising metrics and sponsored content. However, marketers need to be
careful about their approach to this channel and make sure that their content
builds confidence. Another challenge that marketers face in this channel is the
pay-to-play system due to changes in Facebook's algorithms. In 2012, 16% of
your followers can expect to see your updates on Facebook. Last year, this
figure dropped dramatically to 6% at best.
This means you have to invest
in advertising, promotional posts and sponsored posts to get in front of your
audience, which can be expensive. Not only is social media predicted to
dominate in 2019, but Facebook has also adjusted its algorithm for videos. Also,
they have launched Facebook for creators.
