It&#8217;s a hefty bill, but looking at it now, that purchase is worth it. With over 4 billion monthly users in Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp combined, Mark, can bring these billions of users into one big pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_76 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69f23b540d69a\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-69f23b540d69a\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/sagaratechnology.com\/blog\/how-facebook-transform-social-media-into-business\/#The_Idea_of_Integrated_Messaging\" >The Idea of Integrated Messaging<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/sagaratechnology.com\/blog\/how-facebook-transform-social-media-into-business\/#Facebook_Instagram_and_WhatsApp_as_Business_Platform\" >Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp as Business Platform<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Idea_of_Integrated_Messaging\"><\/span>The Idea of Integrated Messaging<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It all started with the idea to make these social media work simultaneously, especially in the messaging part. Mark Zuckerberg wanted to deliver a streamlined messaging experience to billions of users. It allows users to interact with family or friends even if they don&#8217;t use the same apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine if that features really happened, it must have been weird. Users might have trouble differentiating Instagram DM&#8217;s and WhatsApp if they become integrated with Facebook&#8217;s massaging service. Not to mention, different behavior in each Social Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let&#8217;s take a look at Facebook Messenger, the user is likely to use this platform to talk to family or friends, and it is similar to WhatsApp. But Instagram messaging on the other hand is quite different. Instagram Users are mostly comprised of young people to share content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at it from Business Perspective, imagine life would be easier for marketers when cross-platform integrations happen. Even a small business owner can take benefits from this by taking branding to a whole new level, and they can add their phone number to make an appointment with a client.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facebook_Instagram_and_WhatsApp_as_Business_Platform\"><\/span>Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp as Business Platform<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Idea of a cross-platform messaging service might be sound too drastic, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sagaratechnology.com\/blog\/social-media-impact-in-marketing-strategy\">Facebook<\/a> is very serious about making it a Business Platform. A series of features had been rolled out, and it aims for businesses better connect with customers across platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Company said that it wants its family apps to be the best place for business. To support online business, Facebook added a new WhatsApp click-to-chat button tool on Instagram, so the customers can interact with the shop. Another big thing to help business owners is a price quote request and a buy option, and available on Messenger, DM&#8217;s, and WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook now is more business than social media as it is more focused on Advertising. It is generating almost 98% of The Company&#8217;s income. The way they do this is by Target Matching and Targeted Advertising. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The core business is matching user content and turning it into data and collecting user profiles. And from there, Facebook can offer advertisers a place for their ads that matches the targeted audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Facebook was founded in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, and over the past year, it became the world&#8217;s largest social channel.
