The 6 Types of Social Media Sharers #infographic

Published by Web Desk Tuesday, August 22, 2017

Billions of social shares are posted every single day on Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and various other social networks. From cute photos of kittens to hyper-serious and actionable pieces about the environment, politics, and science, there is no shortage of the types of articles that are distributed through our social media accounts.

A 2016 study by social management tool, Social Pilot, found that 1.3 million pieces of content are shared on Facebook every minute of every day while 500 million tweets are distributed on Twitter every 24 hours. Pinterest users have created more than 50 billion pins across 1 billion boards.
