How do you get more followers on Twitter? It’s the age-old question, and while the number of followers that a profile has on Twitter is not always a true indication of status (and certainly quality), brands hoping to use the micro-blogging social network to raise awareness, drive traffic and generate sales will always be looking to proactively grow their audience. This is particularly true for small businesses. What can and should they be doing to attract relevant followers on Twitter?

You've seen videos of people doing ridiculous things on the Internet. But you probably haven't seen too many videos of small businesses sharing their good work. Web video is more or less the domain of the ridiculous — whether that means something cute or something painful. Even top ads and commercials have a touch of the absurd (Old Spice, Dos Equis, I'm looking at you). So how does a small business compete with disturbingly low attention spans and a whole Internet of viral videos? Read on for five ways that small businesses can take advantage of web video without blowing their budgets and let us know your own success stories in the comments below.... Via Jeff Domansky

This infographic is right on point. It explores what the user wants to achieve and which social media platforms might meet those objectives, how many users per platform, and the all-important breakdown by age, gender, education & income demographics.
I'm always discussing how important it is to match your target audience to communications channels. Relating audience demographics to platforms can be difficult, especially for the smaller nonprofits. This infographic will be very helpful.
