The average time spent went up from 24 minutes in 2019 to 34 minutes in 2021 which is a nice thing for influencers as it means people will sit longer staring at their phone/computer screens and are more likely to stumble upon your content in their feed.

It has a user base of around 1.3 billion that’s as much as the population of India. More than 10 billion messages are exchanged between businesses and users monthly making messenger something that shouldn’t be overlooked especially by an influencer. In recent surveys, it was found that messenger marketing leads to a 70 percent open rate than email marketing.

You can use it to interact with your followers, spread a message among the masses or use a bot to push your products around the world without a sweat.

Facebook with its advertising audience of 2.14 billion is one of the best places to run your ad campaign. You will be glad to know that an average user clicks on 12 ads per month which means it's much more likely that a user might end up on your Facebook page. While 47% of Facebook’s ad revenue comes from North America but your ad campaign has a high chance of reaching a substantial amount of users (above 13 years of age) in countries like the Philippines, Libya, Malta, Samoa, Aruba, Mongolia, Ecuador and Peru with some countries having a reach as high as 100%.
