Facebook is the largest social network in the world. It helps u to benefit in every way,either,as an individua or for bussines. Its good for online sales,mobile apps,fun,advertising,bussineses(especialy photographers, e-commerse retail,travel agencies).  LinkedIn -FOR B2B advertisers – the world’s largest professional social network – offers valuable opportunities to get their message in front of the right people. Its really worth considering for advertisers who know exactly what type of professional they want to reach.

Google,of course,You tube,Twitter..

The one which you are familiar with is the best  for you. Not only because you that your target audience is present on that medium but also since you are awareness of strategies and tactics available with the features for the particular channel. If you are already active on the particular channel, you may have a persona which will appeal to the audience and you know what works and what doesn't. It is a starting point. Social medium requires a lot of time and patience apart from quick responses whenever needed so its best not to spread yourself too thin by having a presence on all the medium.

It depends entirely on your business. In case of B2B, Linkedin is going to be most effective, Facebook will act as an awareness platform (if you're careful in selecting audience esp custom audience), YouTube can be used for customer testimonicals, general product videos, achievements etc, Twitter can be used to create conversations if you're careful in targeting your potential groups, hastags etc. Whereas instagram come at the bottom & won't be able to provide required ROI. 

 

In case of B2C, you can use all social media platforms to reach your audience but it would be better to focus more on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, etc instead of Linkedin (as it's a professional network).

Facebook. It has a global range coverage & almost everyone can access it. Even people without "expensive smartphones" can access it now because mobile phone developers are now producing phones with facebook inclusive. In terms of publicity, facebook provides a better plaftorm to share & access information of all kinds for instance; updates, posts, uploads- vidoe & audio, sharing, invitations etc.
