padding:8px 0px;\">In California this number is quite high as the entertainment state has a big appetite for anything new, modern and technological.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Did you know that millennial business owners ages 18 to 34 are more likely to use social media for their companies than Generation X and baby boomer business owners 35 and older?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is indicative of millennials&rsquo; higher personal usage of social media.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">About 79% of millennial business owners use social media, while 65% of Generation X and baby boomer business owners combined use it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Millennial-owned businesses use social media more because they see its value.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;The older people didn&rsquo;t grow up with social media, so many don&rsquo;t understand how to use it for their business,&rdquo; said Shawn Alain, president of social media agency&nbsp;Viral in Nature when we asked him. &ldquo;They went through a significant part of their life without even the internet, and they remember what it was like to not have a smartphone or email.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Generation X and baby boomer business owners have lived &ndash; and possibly run businesses &ndash; before the age of social networks, so this group doesn&rsquo;t always see the need for social media.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Millennials, on the other hand, don&rsquo;t know anything different and cannot imagine a life before the internet,&rdquo; Alain said. &#8220;Millennials don&#8217;t know anything different and cannot imagine a life before the internet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Millennials&rsquo; greater personal use of social media means they are more likely to have social media profiles for their businesses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For example,&nbsp;My Millennial Guide, a personal finance website that gives financial advice to millennials, was founded by millennial Brian Meiggs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meiggs knows of social media&rsquo;s importance in reaching My Millennial Guide&rsquo;s target audience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&ldquo;By posting topics that millennials are interested in, such as ways to pay off student loans or invest, more millennials learn about my brand and my website,&rdquo; Meiggs said. &ldquo;This leads to more clicks to my site and potential sales later down the road.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Because millennial business owners, like Meiggs, understand social media and use it themselves, they can more easily post topics that appeal to their audience, which can eventually lead to a sale.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That being said, more and more people will start a business online.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In California this number is quite high as the entertainment state has a big appetite for anything new, modern and technological.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It is being said that California is a trendsetter in our always busy society and if things catch up here with the Millennials, they will spread around the globe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have a business or you are thinking of starting one the social media provides the best alternative to document, learn and start generating revenue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/upcloseagency\/\" target=\"_blank\">UPCLOSE Agency<\/a>, a digital marketing agency located in Costa Mesa, California, so if you need help with getting you started feel free to <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/upclose.agency\/\" target=\"_blank\">reach out<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style='font-size:18px !important;'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Company Name:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/companyname\/upclose.agency_46520.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">UPCLOSE Agency<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> Media Relations<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=more-millennialowned-businesses-use-social-media-according-to-upclose-costa-mesa\" rel=\"nofollow\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> +7814864738<br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> Costa Mesa<br \/><strong>State:<\/strong> California<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/upclose.agency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/upclose.agency<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=more-millennialowned-businesses-use-social-media-according-to-upclose-costa-mesa\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;More and more people will start a business online.&#8221;
