Going Beyond Facebook: 15 Niche Social Media Sites You Should Explore
Why it’s time to go niche
More and more people are becoming fatigued from the over-saturation of content on the main social media networks. They’re moving increasingly towards platforms that help eliminate the noise and posts that aren’t relevant to them.
Niche networks provide you with the opportunity to connect with a highly targeted and engaged community. Once you’ve connected with your audience, you can start to get to know them — how they think and act — and build closer relationships with them.
Niche social networks are smaller and serve only those who want to be there which means rather than being a small fish in a big social pond, going niche allows you to focus your communication more precisely. You won’t have to worry about beating any Facebook-like algorithms so you can increase the ability to get your content seen by a relevant audience.
There are plenty of niche social networks online catering to passionate users, united by specific topics or locations. Whether you’re a film buff, a DIY enthusiast, a crafter or a baker, there’s a niche network out there for you. Here are some popular places to start your exploration.
