[![Robin Character bringing in the new year](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png)](http://jaymiescotto.sites.hubspot.com/2014-social-media-best-practices)You know the power of social media. You know it is a crucial aspect of a company’s online presence, and you know the importance of keeping your social media accounts active and updated. But, do you know how very rapidly the world of social media is evolving; and more importantly, how to stay on top of it all so you can continue to maximize that said power of social media? Have no fear, JSA's top trends, predictions and recommendations are [here](http://jaymiescotto.sites.hubspot.com/2014-social-media-best-practices). The JSA team has been monitoring the evolution of this medium from simple communications tool to a full-fledged self-promotion suite since social media’s inception. As the New Year approaches us, JSA has been busy at work looking ahead to what 2014 will bring to the social media world. For businesses, the prevailing theme for social media success largely focuses on how social media is a two way communication process taking place in REAL Life; it is not a trade show. That being said, personality is key, and it means the introduction of product or services should be natural, not obvious.
