Jason Hope is a “futurology guru,” and people seek his advice on the future of social media websites. He was kind enough to share his thoughts, and we listed them below:
Companies Will Use Social Networking to Advance Their Businesses.
Social media is the reason that businesses can grow nowadays, so Jason Hope believes that social media is even more important than it used to be. Social media websites are driving direct sales. That’s because businesses have Instagram pages, and the number of followers on these pages is very important to users. If a business has a large number of followers, other people trust the site, and they purchase the company’s products.
Social Media Websites Are Entertaining.
People spend more than two hours on social media websites because they are entertaining. At the same time, these sites provide the latest news, so users have two reasons to spend a significant amount of time on them. It is because of this that Jason Hope believes that the future of social media websites is good. Users love these websites, and they check their social media accounts the minute that they wake up in the morning. It looks as if social media is here to stay.
The Popularity of the Mobile Device
According to research, 91% of people who use the internet access it from their mobile phones. Companies are well aware of this, and they have mobile apps for these customers just for this purpose. Jason Hope opined that a business needs a mobile app to nurture a strong online media presence and that this is more important than increasing traffic to their websites.
Activist investor Jason Hope also believes that Facebook is experiencing tough times at the moment but that it is not ready to die yet. Facebook caused its users to have trust issues because of the data leak, but he believes Mark Zuckerberg can bring people back if he can help his users trust him and Facebook again.
