Where did this list come from? 

Thanks to AddThis.com here is the list of the most relevant and top social media sites as of September 8th, 2015.  Including some more that are not as easy to share with an addthis button but still worthy of the ultimate list of social media websites.

What am I to do with all these social media websites? 

Take advantage of their visibility, pick the social media sites that fit your brand and product, and build a community around your social media. Start a conversation with your followers and give them the information they are starving for. Create a profile and link it back to your website or blog. 

Should I start a profile with everyone of these social media websites?

No. Pick the best social media sites for your business, website, brand or blog and make sure to post to them on a regular basis. Whether once a month or 3 times a week, make sure you are consistent so your followers know what to expect and don't drop off after long absences. Post relevant, informative and interesting content to your social media sites to keep your followers engaged.
