3 Reasons People Fail at Social Media

3 Reasons People Fail at Social Media

Social media platforms are databases of people, facebook leading the way with 800,000,000 twitter in 2nd followed by linkedIn with 120,000,000.  Most businesses if they got 1 new client a week would be considered a healthy business.  Some only need 1 a month.

The #1 reason people don’t succeed on Social Media Platforms is because they haven’t read Dale Carnegies book “How To Win Friends and Influence People” and if you have, you probably are not applying the principles the book teaches.

  • People like talking to people, not logos
  • Take a few extra seconds to personalize notes to new connections
  • Social Media is Networking and Networking is Building Realshionships

The #2 reason people don’t succeed on social media is because they think it’s a silverbullet, sorry kids no silver bullet until you become really good at #1

The #3 reason people don’t succeed on social media is that they are not persistent and consistent.

Social Media is not a one night stand… Social Media is a commitment not a campaign

People do not like to be sold but they do like to buy, if that statement is true and it’s true that people can unfollow at anytime, then why would you ever try to sell on social media? 

You may have heard it, but do you apply it? Engage by educating and entertaining.   I prefer to think of these 2 words “adding value” when I post, reply, comment online.
