In 2012 we saw rapid developments with social media and we predict there

will be much more where that came from this year.



SOcial Media Advertising

With an estimated $4.2 billion spent in 2012 on advertising with social media,

its already big business.





We predict that 2013 will see a further rise on money spent on advertising as

companies move away from traditional forms of advertising to internet advertising like display ads and

banners.



With social media advertising providing better ROI there will be a major shift in the coming year 2013.


Visual SOcial Media

Pinterest, Tumblr and Instagram visual social media platforms had a huge rise in the number of people using them in 2012 which will continue rapid growth in 2013.

We expect to see more companies producing more visual content in 2013 and beyond since visual content is easy to share, cheap to produce, and simple

to optimize for various social media platforms including on mobile devices.


Mobile SOcial Networking

Social media, smartphones and tablets go hand in hand and will keep rising

exponentially in 2013.






There will be a change in the type of content that is created for social media

users using their mobile phones and the way in which it is optimized for

various mobile platforms.


We can say goodbye to heavy content and long text stories and posts and say hello to shorter articles with focus on

visuals like videos, images and infographics.


2013 looks like it will be another big year in the world of social media!
