6 mistakes of social media marketing

I wrote this initially on Twitter. When I tweet more than 6 messages in a row on a specific topic, I realize, I've got me a blog post. Maybe.

Here's the series of tweets, my micro-seminar for this week, or today.


6 Mistakes of Social Media

#1 treating online community members as sitting ducks for sales hype w/out real interaction

#2 thinking people join social networks to receive deals, opportunities, commercial messages

#3 fast results from inauthentic, non-altruistic, self-referential content, instead of value

#4 treating social networks as just another ad medium, instead of customer relations paradise

#5 mixing relentless inspirational quotes with sales messages instead of participating like a real human

#6 ghost contenting = pretending it's Guy Kawasaki but it's really a subordinate team you relate to
