Red Ten NYC: Social Media Giant Tops 1 Billion Users Through Strong Leadership

    NEW YORK, NY, October 11, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With a growing Facebook population of 33% (Forbes.com) in the past 12 months, the company has announced on Thursday, 4 October that it has surpassed 1 billion users worldwide. According to Bloomberg Business Week, Mark Zuckerberg's idea to connect people started from his Harvard University dorm room. Eight years later his company has reached over 1 billion active users. In the UK only, the world's largest social network has over 33 million users, which makes it number 6 in the ranking of all Facebook statistics by country (socialbakers.com). Red Ten NYC is fascinated by the achievement of the young entrepreneur Mark Zuckerberg who revealed some helpful tips at Under30CEO.com.

A spokesperson at Red Ten NYC says: "With a great idea and motivation anyone can start a company; however running a business means consistent development, discipline and a lot of hard work." Mark Zuckerberg for example was not a natural-born CEO. His top in-house recruiter was so frustrated that he said to Zuckerberg: "You'd better take CEO lessons, or this isn't going to work for you" (Under30CEO). Nevertheless, Zuckerberg has become one of the most successful businessmen in worldwide. Red Ten NYC recommends Zuckerberg's tips for young entrepreneurs, published on Under30CEO.com.

The start-up of a new idea is speedy, but taking on initiatives can be fatal, therefore Zuckerberg recommends learning how to say 'No'. Furthermore, Zuckerberg is convinced that being open to new ideas is a huge advantage in order to develop a business. A great example is Facebook's photo feature. When someone proposed the idea of tagging pictures, he felt it was the right approach and made it a priority for the company. Only a few months later it took the number 1 spot in the market.

Red Ten NYC's Managing Director adds "Zuckerberg actually recommends one of my favourite books: 'Good to Great' by Jim Collins." As Facebook's CEO, Zuckerberg is continuously focused on the success of the company and spends his time on what matters, such as the product and providing great service. Another tip of the young entrepreneur is to listen to the data to find out what is popular and what is not; however Zuckerberg feels that certain decisions need to be taken by using his own intuition. This is how he decided to launch the Facebook News Feed which received negative feedback at first but then it turned out to be spot on.

Entrepreneur and MD of Red Ten NYC says "Zuckerberg's achievements are so inspirational and such a good example of how the hard work pays off." Trends will now go towards mobile users as more and more people are expected to use mobile devices in the coming months and years ahead. According to Zuckerberg in an interview with Business Week, he says that there are already 5 billion people using it. Red Ten NYC is already looking forward to the next big headline of an inspiring young entrepreneur.
