The popularity of social media platforms fluctuates over time.

Anyone remember MySpace? What about tumblr? Clubhouse?

Like music, there are one hit wonders and then there are artists who release album after album. They go down in history as being well-loved, popular and constantly changing with the times.

And then there’s The Hamster Dance.

Facebook, which was launched in 2004, is still one of the most popular social media sites around. It has evolved through countless trends and changes in the internet landscape. Platforms like tumblr, though still used by thousands of people each day, has fallen off the radar and into the so-called, “social media graveyard”.

So…what are the most popular social media platforms of 2022 and which ones are worth investing in from a marketing perspective?

The most popular social media platforms (2022) by user adoption

As of 2022, Facebook has 2.9 billion active users worldwide and 307.34 million users in the US. Facebook is really good for marketing a small business, especially through the business pages function. You can give your business its own Facebook profile that acts as a “second website” where your customers can ask questions, send messages and find more information on what you have to offer. The largest demographic on Facebook is the 25-35 year old set (18.8%). The 65+ demographic claims Facebook as their “favorite platform” though they aren’t as populous as millennials. Youtube is a great platform to advertise your company through targeted ads or to post your own videos about your product/service. You could also “sponsor” videos and have your business featured in videos by popular Youtubers. Whatsapp has over 2 billion active users worldwide and 573.6 million in the US. It is hands-down the most popular social messaging app of 2022. The biggest demographic of Whatsapp users are between the ages of 25 and 34. You can create a business profile and send Whatsapp messages to your customers or fans (instead of emails). Considering that text messages have a higher open rate (98%) than emails (20%), Whatsapp is a no brainer when it comes to marketing. Instagram’s largest demographic are millennials, so 31.2% fall in the 25-34 year old age group. Out of that 31.2%, 16.4% are male and 14.8% are female. Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms in 2022 for Gen Z and millennials. If your target audience is under the age of 35, you definitely should be active on Instagram.

5. TikTok

We cannot create a “most popular social media platforms (2022)” statistics blog post without talking about TikTok. TikTok only launched in 2017 but it’s already showing some very promising statistics. As of January 2022, TikTok had amassed 1 billion users worldwide and 84.9 million in the US. Around 43% percent of TikTok’s user base are teenagers and young adults between the ages of 18 and 24.

57% of TikTok users are female and 43% are male.

Also, only 3.4% of TikTok’s audience is over the age of 55 so if you are looking to reach this particular age group, you might want to focus on Facebook or Whatsapp instead. Pushing a product or service in your video is not really what TikTok is all about. This platform is all about fun, entertainment and knowledge. It’s a great way to reach Gen Z while sharing valuable information, facts or funny skits that relate to your business.

Something interesting to note about Twitter is that 38.4% of its users are female and 61.6% are male. If your business is aimed at men, you would be wise to open a Twitter account! A lot of businesses value Twitter for its ease of communication. Some companies report that 80% of their customer service requests happen on Twitter. It’s a great place to update your customers on things and share your opinion on global events that relate to your industry.

7. LinkedIn

If you are a social media manager or creation service who isn’t on LinkedIn…you’re crazy! Here us out…LinkedIn is one of the best social media platforms for reaching other businesses as clients. LinkedIn has 830 million users worldwide and 185 million in the US alone and their largest demographic (59.1%) is between the ages 25 and 34. Use LinkedIn to post pictures, videos and share links that are relevant to your business. It’s one of the best ways to network and to gain new clients organically.

8. SnapChat

SnapChat has garnered over 530 million users worldwide and 107 million in the US. India has the most SnapChat users at 126 million. SnapChat is definitely a “young” platform as 78% of their user base is between the ages of 18 and 24. If you are using SnapChat for business, it’s important to post to your story often as the posts only last for 24 hours. One of the really great things about Pinterest is that once you post a pin (which can be an image or a video), it stays in the algorithm forever. It’s technically a search engine, so your pin could co viral years down the road.

10. Reddit

As of 2022, 430 million users login and use Reddit each month. 48 million come from the US alone. The downside to Reddit is that it’s easy to make mistakes. Since Reddit is all about commenting on other people’s opinions, not following the rules of a subreddit or not responding appropriately to a post can get your downvoted and hamper your reputation (on Reddit at least). It’s also not suggested to just blindly post a link or photo. Reddit is all about conversation and many subreddits will ban you right away if you post a single link without any context. Reddit’s demographic skews young and is 70% male, so keep that in mind if you are planning on using it to market your products/services.

11. Telegram

The final and maybe most under-the-radar platform on our list of the most popular social media platforms (2022) is Telegram. Telegram has a worldwide user base of 500 million and every day 55.2 million of those users log in. As of 2022, Telegram users spend 2.9 hour per month on the app which is higher than the amount of time Facebook users spend on Facebook Messenger.

What should you focus on?

WIth all of these amazing options for social media exposure, it can be tricky to narrow down which apps to focus on. A good place to start is getting clear on your goals. What do you hope your fans and followers will do when interacting with your social media? Do you hope to build a community of like-minded people? Do you hope to lead them to a sales page? If so, you will have to choose a social media platform that allows you to post links directly in your posts. Also…demographic is huge. Are you hoping to reach mostly males? Or mostly females? What age group is your target market in? These answers will guide you in deciding on your social media strategy.

Ideal platforms for small businesses

Facebook is definitely a must if you are a small business, especially if you have a physical location. With Facebook “business pages”, you can create a custom profile for your business that lists everything from hours of operation to upcoming events. Whatsapp is also great for connecting with a small group of fans, past clients and followers. Instead of sending out emails, you send out updates on your business, new stock alerts and give your followers an opportunity to message you directly.

Is it ok to post the same content across networks?

You absolutely CAN post the same content across different networks, however; you will want to adjust your content based on the requirements of the platform and what is trending/popular at the time. There are software programs and apps that will help you create posts for different networks out of the same content. Just make sure it looks like you’re making each post a little bit different. You don’t want to copy and paste the exact same content across all platforms. That can get boring!

When you should delegate social media management to an expert

If you are unsure which social media platforms to go with or need help in creating content, then consider enlisting the help from a professional social media management company like MixBloom. Professional social media managers have been studying social media for a long time and know exactly which platforms would benefit your business and how to get the most out of your existing social media audience.
