This past year, everywhere
you turned someone was offering help on how to succeed with marketing, aka
social media. Today I’m going to turn the tables and give you my top 10 ways to
fail spectacularly with social networking.
10. Never follow anyone back
when they follow you. Why would you? They aren’t nearly as interesting.
9. Never answer any comments
left on your blog. It’s just a waste of time to answer people who don’t know as
much as you.
8. Only post social media
updates when the mood hits you. After all, you’re too important to be tied to a
schedule and update consistently.
7. Never promote anyone in
your field or genre. Everyone knows you’re the expert, why would they need
anyone else?
6. Always plan your social
media updates to show up one right after another. The more updates in a row,
the more people will remember you.
5. Never waste a social
media update thanking someone for mentioning you. So many people are quoting
you it would take far too much time to thank them all.
4. Always get even with
those who’ve wronged you by calling them out publicly through social
networking. After all, you’re only doing everyone else a favor by letting them
know the truth.
3. Never repost/retweet
anything unless there’s something in it for you. You’re much too important to
repeat uninteresting fluff.
2. Always update social
media with everyday life. It’s encouraging for others to know you need to take
a break and visit the restroom just like an ordinary person would.
And the number 1 way to
fail spectacularly with social networking…
...Don’t bother to do it at
all. Everyone knows social media is just a fad.
Do you have any tips to add?
Inquiring minds want to know!

DeleteThanks, Edie. I jotted down the areas I need improvement in. Your list was very helpful, and I think your sense of humor with it makes it even more effective. :) May the Lord bless you and your ministry greatly in the coming year.
