7 New Social Networks You Don’t Know Yet

February 9, 2015 By Erik Emanuelli 138 Comments

Are you using social media to market your website or to create relationships within your niche?

In this post, you are going to discover seven new social networks, that you can use to promote yourself and build new connections.

Some of them are brand new while some others are a little more known.

Aside from Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube or LinkedIn, be sure to take a look at these social platforms and hurry to register your name or brand.

You don’t want to lose the chance to jump on the next social media trend!

Here are the 7 new websites to consider.

 

1. Ello

Simplicity, beauty, transparency and a “virtual place” where whatever it is published is not drawn for online advertising.

This is, in a nutshell, the manifesto of Ello, a social network similar to Facebook (but perhaps even more to Google Plus), and very minimal.

At first glance, I think it’s hard to understand how to orient and interact in a fun way with other users.

The “noise” section offers a caldron of random posts (Pinterest syle), which makes Ello, at this time, a mix of things already seen.

Pros: start from scratch with a new “Facebook”.

Cons: how will they keep the platform ads-free and prosper?

Ello is invitation-only. Hit me if you need an invite code.

2. This

“This” looks minimal like Ello.

It claims to be the best place to find entertainment, art and journalism news on the web.

Still in beta, you need an invitation to join.

Ask friends if they are already into it, or add your email to database to receive an invitation when the public beta will be launched.

I’m still waiting for an invite to register.

 

3. Shots

“A fun place to meet people“, that’s Shots motto.

It’s a social platform (mobile only) you can use to meet other people through the selfie!

In fact, the structure is in all respects similar to Instagram, but focused on selfies though.

The app is super usable and intuitive and it would be an excellent social media for those fashion bloggers, for example, who want to pierce the internet with their image.

You can just upload live images from the front camera of your smartphone and it’s aimed at a “teenager” target.

About 1 million downloads, at this time, with 75% of female users under 24 and used by several celebrities.

Pros: excellent user experience and a well-defined target.

Cons: what will happen when selfie won’t be popular anymore?

4. Pheed

“A place to express yourself.”

Pheed is mobile app that allows you to upload text, photos, video and live broadcasts.

A novelty compared to other social media is the fact that on Pheed you can earn money online.

Well, yes: you can request a fee ranging from $1.99 to $34.99 to allow users to access your content.

It’s an interesting social where combination of potential quality content and monetization meet.

Pros: if you will truly find “excellent” content, it could be an interesting place to enjoy quality information in any field.

Cons: will it become popular?

 

 

5. Medium

Of all the social media listed, Medium is perhaps the best known.

It offers a list of recommended content (top stories and staff picks) in a minimal graphic, very light and airy.

It collects content from very influential authors, because at first it was addressed (by invitation only) to popular writers and “thinkers”.

Since one year, it opened the doors to everyone and is, in effect, a particularly trendy alternative to Tumblr and WordPress.

Pros: it ranks “higher” as quality content than Tumblr, for example.

Cons: it risks to being a “mere instrument”, used especially by writers or professional journalists.

 

6. Chirp

Chirp focuses solely on the sounds.

I find it very original!

Basically, you can register your “chirp” : a phrase, a special offer if you have a shop or a photo, accompanied by an audio caption.

Your “chirp” will be collected from users who are nearby, as long as they chirp activated.

Pros: great tool for local marketing, implemented in real time.

Cons: not so popular. Will it ever spread?

 

7. Tsu

Born this fall, Tsu got 1 million users through word of mouth in a little over a month.

Tsu focuses on the generation of valuable content from members, encouraging them through a very strong message: 90% of advertising revenue is distributed among its users!

To join Tsu right now you need an invitation: just visit my profile to register.

The goal of Tsu is to generate a solid network of users, rewarding people for being “social” and influential in terms of relationships.

Be sure to take advantage of this “social wealth” when joining Tsu.

Pros: users are strongly encouraged to publish their best content. You can make money by just using Tsu.

Cons: it slips into the vast sea of the social platforms used just for publishing content.

Important note: TSU was taken down on August 2016.

 

Conclusion

Hope these resources will help you increase your connections online, while marketing you and your content.

 

And you, are you already on these social networks?

    Hey Erik,
    Wow! These platforms keep coming up every single day or what?

    I signed up to Tsu but did not really use it 😉 One thing I know is the more platforms you join, the more less productive you become. There should be a maximum I think.

    I just requested for an invitation on ello. Will be trying that one out.

    Thanks for bringing these platforms to our notice man.

    hope you are ready for a wonderful week ahead

      That’s right, Enstine.

      There are so many new startups and projects on the internet,
      it’s hard to follow them all!

      Agreed.
      We should focus on finding the right social media for our audience, and stick with it (or just few of them).

      Most of the time, I sign up to these new social networks, just to “reserve” my personal name.
      When I come back to the URL after some time, I discover how things have gone during my inactivity.

      I’ve just sent you a personal invitation to Ello, from my profile.

      Hope you’ll receive it.

      Otherwise, let me know.

      Thanks for visiting and commenting today, my friend.
      Have a good rest of this week.

    Hello Erik Sir,
    Thank you so much for this awesome post.
    Actually I am familiar with only three from this list.
    Yeah, as you said, Medium is more familiar to me. And I have heard about Tsu and Ello a bit. All others are new to me.
    Let’s see how these beat the existing social network giants.
    Thanks again for the post sir.

    Perhaps I’m getting old but I’ve never heard of any of these sites. But if we learned anything about social media, overnight a site can sky rocket from going viral. I remember when Facebook started getting popular, my e-mail was spammed daily from friend invites…. I was one of the last people to join the site, and I’m glad I did it’s an amazing income stream for traffic and sales

    Hi Erik,

    Awesome post indeed! Jam-packed with lots of information 🙂

    Honestly speaking, I’ve just heard of 3-4 from this list, the rest I heard for the first time and would be checking them in a while. But the point being, how active can we remain on all of these…lol…I would be lost just in these new ones if I were to sign up for them. I am glad you mentioned the pros and cons of each one, which helps for sure.

    Ana Hoffman was kind enough to send me an invite for Ello once she joined, though I’ve yet to check it our fully, and even Tsu I’ve got people asking me to join, just not got down to it so far, though heard a lot of positive reviews about it. Some people are really earning well from it, though they are also very active there, which is what brings in the money, isn’t it?

    Ah….I need to take a break from the ABC and start off with a little of these, especially Medium as you recommend it.

    Thanks for sharing this with us, and good to see our Ahaians in full swing here! Have a nice week ahead 🙂

      Hi Harleena,
      what a pleasure to see you! 🙂

      You’re right.
      I receive a lot of comments from Ahaians at my blog,
      and this is awesome!
      It’s one of the reasons I wrote that post about Aha-Now blog community, to recommend anyone to join!

      I listed these new social networks to give people some alternatives, but you’re right.
      It’s impossible to manage too many accounts.

      Better to focus on few ones, and do a nice job there.
      After all, we want to target a specific audience, right?

      Thanks for taking the time to visit my post today, and leave your comment, Harleena.
      Wishing you a great beginning of this week. 🙂

    Hi Erik!

    Wow! Except Ello, I have did not have any info on the other social networks….until now.

    I just stick to a few of them which appeal more to me and to my audience. More the number of such platforms you join, the difficult it becomes to manage them. We do however have a few tools that unify most of the popular social media platforms so that you can access them from under one roof.

    Thanks for the informative post.

      Hi Arpit,
      you’re right.

      Just use the social channels you think may fit your niche and audience.
      And focus on them!

      I use HootSuite PRO to manage all my social media accounts into one single dashboard.

    Hey Erik!

    I’ve heard of a few of these before but not the others. I haven’t signed up for any of them (and probably won’t, to be honest) but some of these are very interesting and I’ll have to follow them.

    If any of them actually takes off, I suppose I’ll have to say that I heard them from you first, huh?

    These are certainly interesting and I wish I had time to at least give them a look, but I just managed to cut out a lot of time I spent on social media by purchasing HootSuite. Last thing I need is to get sucked into a bunch of new networks, LOL.

    Still, nice to hear about them though. Thanks Erik!

      Hi James,
      good to see you here.

      The problem of having too many social media accounts is then finding the time to manage them all,
      even if you have Hootsuite now (I use the PRO version).

      We want to focus on few social channels that work for us and for our audience

      As I mentioned, I’ve signed up to each of these new networks, also for reserving my personal name, as account.

      You never know if some of these website will become the next trend of the internet! ;-).

      Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment, James.

    Shots is too funny. Should’ve know it would just be a matter of time before selfies would become an essential part of a social media platform.

The business idea sounds interesting. I heard about Pheed many years ago, and thought it sounded like a fad. I have heard about This, Shots, and Chirp

    Not sure if I’m going to sign up for all of these though. But they are interesting. I know I received an invitation for Tsu but haven’t signed up yet.

    Still I didn’t join Ello I just heard that name few months ago. I use tsu but I didn’t use it so much.
    Other 5 social media are too new for me. Even I didn’t heard their names. 😛

    OMG, I am aware only about two out of the list, Ello and Tsu. However, I am not using any of them but do have an account over ello.

    Thanks for this awesome list Erik.

    Hi Erik Sir,

    This is an amazing list of social networks. I don’t know how I missed to leave my comment in this post, Atish shared your post today and I immediately headed over here.

    I know Ello, Tsu and medium and unaware of such a great list of networks to connect with the people of same wavelength.

    Time is my biggest constraint and thus limiting my social presence.

    Have a great rest of the week 🙂

    Hey Erik,

    Thanks for sharing these with us. I assume there will always be new social platforms popping up trying to eventually beat out some of the more popular ones. Just like most things, they all eventually fall by the wayside at one point or another right! These are coming on the scene just hoping to have enough of a following to swoop in and take the lead.

    I don’t use my mobile that much so I definitely wouldn’t join the ones where it’s an app access only. That’s why I don’t have an Instagram account. I know, I’m so old school it’s pathetic. LOL!!!

    I won’t be trying any of these though, I can barely keep up with the ones I’m currently on but they’re good to know about at least. When someone mentions their name I can’t play dumb now!

    Have a great week.

    Hi Erik,

    Well packed and given the information for us. This quiet interesting list to know about of new pop up in social media world. Ello – Started loving it, awaited for long time and received the invitation to join in it. I eventually see that there is a lot on conspiracy between that Ello will beat Facebook, what do you think of that ?

    Tsu – I remember I got some dollars by referring some colleagues :D. The rise and fall of some social media app is always quite often, but we as Blogger need to adhere which tool that makes us benefit form our business. It always a time changing game

    Thanks for your list and I came to know some of them

    Hi Erik,

    I have to make a confession. I have not heard of any of them. Perhaps I am like Adrienne, old school or perhaps I have been hiding in a cave.

    I did check three of the ones you mentioned and ended up reading an long article on Medium, which basically talked about blogging perhaps joining the dinosaurs. How depressing.

    The one that caught my attention is Tsu. I like the idea of income sharing. Reminds me of Squidoo before they went all uppity, forgetting that it was us, the squids that made them famous.

    I will have to hit you for an invite to Tsu, which I’ll do after I finish this comment.

    Nice share, Erik.

    I just stick to a few of them which appeal more to me and to my audience. More the number of such platforms you join, the difficult it becomes to manage them. We do however have a few tools that unify most of the popular social media platforms so that you can access them from under one roof.
