A social networking website is something that allows you to connect with lots of people from your computer. Two of the most popular social networking sites out there right now are Twitter and Facebook. Both of them give you the ability to promote your business online and both of them have a huge following in the home based business arena. So which one is better for your business? This is a smack down between Twitter and Facebook!
Here’s how it’s going to go down. There are 5 categories: How easy is it to use, popularity, freedom to market, ways to market and number of people on each website. We’ll go over these categories one by one and then the winner will be crowned! You ready? Here goes…
Round 1 – Easy To Use
While both social networking sites are extremely user friendly and can be figured out without much trouble I have to give this one to Twitter. There are really very few things you can actually DO on Twitter which is what makes it so easy to use. While Facebook is by no means hard to understand the simplicity of Twitter makes things a while lot easier.

Round 2 – Popularity
At the time this article was written Facebook was the 4th most visited site online beat only by Yahoo, Google and Youtube. Twitter, while very popular was number 49… Not even close.

Round 3 – Freedom to market
While you can certainly market on Facebook, Twitter gives you much more freedom. Facebook will penalize you if you add too many friends at once and you also can’t send out very many messages. Twitter doesn’t give you those restrictions so the round has to go to Twitter

Round 4 – Ways to market
This one is Facebook all the way. With Twitter you are limited to the things you can do and while you can post links to pictures it’s just not the same as Facebook. There is just so much more you can do on Facebook that we had to declare them the winner and that brings us into a dead heat as we move to the final category…

Round 5 – How many people are on it
Obviously the more people that are on any site the better because it gives you a better opportunity to talk to more prospects. When we did our research we found that of everyone on the internet 1.8% of the people online visit Twitter daily. When we ran the numbers on Facebook we found that over 17% of internet users visit Facebook! This is hands down Facebook’s round.

That means that while it was a very close race the winner and champion is…. FACEBOOK! Of course you can market with great results on both this was really just for fun but we believe that for marketing your business online Facebook is a better choice than Twitter.
