Friday Facts: Interesting Facebook Statistics

I was reading through a couple sites this past weekend and came across a site that promises to teach you "the secret system Facebook Marketers are Using."  Naturally they want you to pay a lot for their course that guarantees you'll see more lead generation, etc., but I've always been highly skeptical of such promises - especially when it takes FOREVER to get to the bottom of the page to find out how much it costs - then see, as I quickly scroll, they cover a number of the same topics that are posted on my blog and similar blogs.

Either way, this isn't a rant about those types of sites, but rather, the useful stats one of those sites provided.

• Facebook is currently the largest social network with over 1.19 Billion Active Monthly Users.
• 93% of marketers use social media for their business.
• Facebook has 728 million daily active users.
• Facebook Like and Share Buttons are viewed 22 million times a day.
• There are over 50 million Facebook pages.

Since I found those stats interesting (and easy to find) I figured I'd share them with you, as well as a link to the source.

Keep in mind, I always recommend starting out with one or two forms of social media and seeing what works for your brand.  Because of these statistics and personal experience, I encourage you to make Facebook one of the forms of social media you set up first.

Happy Friday!
