The Best Entertainment in Town
Many years I was spending my time doing nothing. I was living carefree and spent my time for entertainment (playing games, talking on social media networks, etc.) Through years I learned one important thing:
“When a person has no goals in life then his only worry is to entertain himself.”
I am telling this from my experience. I see people without goals every day and I know them personally. They are entertainment seakers. The majority of them have a job and their only worry is to go to work and make a living. They don’t complain because they are without any other goals.
And there we have some unemployed people who receive social help and spend their days only for fun. Some of them think “Why should I work if the state is supporting me?” Some seek a job but don’t find it, so their time is spent for entertainment.
What is the best entertainment these days and how can you waste your time having fun? The answer is social media.
The main purpose and benefits of social media for society are hanging with other people, exchange information and communicate.
We saw how the number of social media users is growing, but why?
Socializing patterns changed with the formation of social networks. People are still hanging out together in the real world but the socializing transferred to the internet. As I said, internet demolished all boundaries.
Now you can talk with someone from Japan in a matter of seconds. People spend hours on social media networks like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Instagram, Flickr and others. But why are people so attracted to them?
Why do You use Social Media Platforms for?
People use social media for talking, searching for ideas, staying in touch with friends, meeting new people, sharing pictures, videos and opinions. Some of them use these networks for entertainment and some make social media account for sharing their hobby.
How about transforming the idea of a hobby to a business opportunity? Did you ever think of using social media networks for business? No? Well, let me tell you my story.
My life changed dramatically when I start to think differently about life. Many years I was without any worries. My only worry was how to spend those 24 hours a day without boredom. I found social media so handy for me! I always liked people and sharing opinions about anything. Therefore social media was the perfect tool for me to get out there and spread the word.
In that time, I knew that there were many social media networks but I had my favorite – Facebook. My friends and peers had it and it was very easy to figure it how it works. I was not inviting many people to be friends with but people invited me, so I accepted their requests.
Facebook was my savior because I didn’t have any other important work. I also loved to share my favorite music on Facebook and some recipes I made. But I never thought of using Facebook for other reasons. Everything changed when I moved to town and became independent.
Benefits of Social Media for Society and Business

Social Media 100% Transformation
I started to think more ambitiously when I moved to town. Tadej and I establish an online business that is making our lives worthy. We love our business and also love to help people to find their true life purpose.
Social media networks came into our minds and it was a result of constant everyday learning as we grew our business.
We know that people are spending a lot of time on social media networks and that this is our big opportunity to reach out to them and establish communication.
So we opened accounts on different social media platforms and we see that it was the right decision. I saw that having a website won’t bring us traffic and engagement, so it was an urge to do.
There are many benefits of social media for society and business. Now we have straight forward communication with people and customers that are interested in our business. They can ask directly what they need to know.
I took control and shifted my behavior on social media from talking to making business opportunities.
