Personal Social Sharing, Advertising Credits and Facebook Video: The Future of Social Advertising

10 years ago, social media marketing consisted of businesses asking individuals to post on their behalf on popular social media sites and blogs.  Bloggers would write about products while younger consumers would be paid to post about products on their MySpace or Facebook accounts.  At first, these methods were clever and could bring hordes of new hits to websites.  However, the general public quickly grew weary of this practice and personal sharing of professional products went out of style.

Generation Z is commonly referred to as the crop of people born after Millennials, beginning in approximately 1997 and ending sometime after 2010. In other words, those who do not remember Hanson’s “MMMBop” topping the charts are a part of Generation Z. Different scholars use different years as the generation’s advent, but the common ground appears to be the late 1990s. These people have lived their entire lives with the internet, coming of age as Facebook and Google ruled the internet.
