I think it really depends on the business and the product. But here's what I think about each platform: Facebook: Best for: Most businesses, especially B2C. Why: With its massive user base and diverse demographics, Facebook is a versatile platform for reaching a broad audience. It offers various ad formats, including Facebook Ads, making it ideal for brand awareness, customer engagement, and lead generation. Instagram: Best for: Visual and lifestyle-focused businesses (e.g., fashion, beauty, travel, food). Why: Instagram is highly visual and is effective for showcasing products or services through high-quality images and short videos. It's also suitable for influencer marketing and building a strong brand presence. Twitter: Best for: Real-time updates, news, and customer engagement. Why: Twitter is excellent for businesses that want to share timely information, engage in conversations with customers, and stay updated on industry trends. It's especially useful for B2B businesses and those in tech or media. LinkedIn: Best for: B2B companies, professional services, and job-related content. Why: LinkedIn is a business-centric platform, ideal for networking, lead generation, and establishing thought leadership. It's effective for targeting professionals and decision-makers. Pinterest: Best for: Visual and lifestyle products (e.g., home decor, DIY, fashion). Why: Pinterest is a visual discovery platform where users often seek inspiration. It's valuable for businesses with visually appealing products or content, and it can drive traffic to e-commerce sites. TikTok: Best for: Brands with creative and engaging video content. Why: TikTok's short-form videos are popular among younger audiences. It's suitable for businesses looking to showcase their creativity, run influencer campaigns, and build brand awareness among Gen Z. YouTube: Best for: Video content and tutorials. Why: YouTube is the second-largest search engine after Google and is ideal for businesses that can create informative or entertaining video content. It's also great for advertising through YouTube Ads. Snapchat: Best for: Brands targeting a younger audience with engaging content. Why: Snapchat is popular among Gen Z and Millennials, making it suitable for businesses with a younger target demographic. It offers ad formats like Snap Ads and AR lenses. Reddit: Best for: Businesses seeking niche communities and authentic engagement. Why: Reddit has specialized subreddits where businesses can engage with highly targeted audiences. It's valuable for building trust and credibility within specific niches.

For Community building: Circle 😉 It's basically a more user-friendly Discord which lets you build channels, wikis and even custom learning courses. We used to use it in the past and are now planning to reactivate Senuto's community there. HM

@mzatorski Yes, discord is good for building a community But, someday I think discord too much heavy on tech process. It's not seamless anyway. I would prefer, telegram. It's more simple and easy to access everyday
