As a real estate professional, you already know how important it is to have a strong Internet presence for your business. And while you may be fluent in social media, SEO and online lead capture, you may not realize how vast the Internet really is!
Here are some mind-boggling facts about the web that we found on Entrepreneur.com!
1. The Internet is only about 24 years old, but it has 47 billion websites.
2. It only took about 4 years for the Internet to reach 50 million users. By comparison, it took the telephone 75 years to be adapted by the same number of users.
3. Never doubt the power of entertainment. The "Angry Birds" app reached 50 million users within 35 days of launch.
4. Apps are being adapted at a rapid pace. By June 2015, over 100 billion iOS apps have been downloaded.
5. Email is alive and well. More than 205 billion emails will be sent and recieved during 2015. Email use is expected to grow at an annual 3% rate during the next 4 years.
6. Facebook dominates mobile app use. When Facebook-owned Instagram is also taken into consideration, the combo accounts for 22.4% of all app use. The next runner-up is Pandora at 10%.
7. A picture paints a thousand words - and in 2015, we will take 1 trillion photos! Shutterbugs have been empowered by built-in cameras on mobile devices. As worldwide use of mobile devices expands, photo capture, storage and sharing is expected to grow by over 16% a year. Now think about that Facebook and Instagram usage again; it's only going to increase!
Worldwide, Internet use is continuing to grow, with mobile web devices already outnumbering televisions by about 2-to-1. Yet we remain in the early days of mobile technology.
Real estate professionals must keep an eye on evolving technology and its impact on consumer behavior - your future leads may come from entirely new sources!
