Fighting the MYTHS of SM
•Social Media is for kids.
•Social Media is not work.
•Social Media what?
• Social Media is ZAPPING.

11. Why should I be listening to you?
I don’t have a business, if I don’t have a Twitter account!
 Value – CHEAP
 Proposed Objective – WE NEED THIS? It does not cost a dime.
 Communication Strategy – Twitter account, Facebook Fan Page – 100 likes a
day is a must
 Measurement – how many likes I receive on Facebook, RTs on Twitter, views
on YouTube

12. Why should I be listening to you?
Answer me this
• Do you check your platforms all day long?
• Do you brush your teeth and check Twitter?
• Has your business become successful with Twitter and Facebook?
• All it takes is a Like, a RT and a Share?

13. Why should I be listening to you?
ENGAGEMENT and PASSION
MUCH MORE than 3 seconds, 6 posts, 7 likes and 4 share
“This service is really bad!”
What does it mean?
When you go to the restaurant, do
you order “more” fans?

14. It’s just as creative as ads
Do you express yourself in 140 characters? That’s all?
How much is it a status update and how much do you invest in each tweet?
All your updates start with Hi? Do you actually mean Thanks / Thx / LMK / MI?
9 to 5 or whenever you remember you have a social account? No, it’s your way
of life!
Is the Dunbar Law still relevant? Do we have 150 or 5000 friends?

brands!

Social Man vs. Market Man
• I learn. What have you learned from Social Media this week?
• I feel; I see; I understand.
• I share, I never get bored, I benefit, I find inspiration, I learn that it takes more
than just a tweet.
• Why are companies listening? To gain market share or increase awareness?
Social Media is not business, it is a way of life!
