5. Social Media is Fast
False. Social media is by definition slow. Done correctly, social
media is about developing meaningful relationships with
customers and prospective customers in their natural habitat.
That’s not a “wave the magic wand” scenario.
You have to create content, be part of many communities, and
proceed incrementally.
Many successful social media programs take months (or even
more than a year) to really germinate.

6. Social Media Results Can’t
be Measured
False. Especially in comparison to many other communication
programs like traditional PR, TV advertising, outdoor
advertising and others, social media actually offers pretty solid
metrics

7. Social Media is Inexpensive
False. As Charlene Li (Altimeter / Forrester) said recently,
social media trades media cost for labor cost.
Done correctly, social media - even a simple reputation
monitoring program - is a time intensive proposition that
requires daily vigilance.

8. Social Media is Optional
False. It doesn’t matter what the demographics of your
customers are. It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in.
Your customers and prospects are talking about you online.
Your company needs to be part of that conversation. Today.
Online is where many people do their talking, so that’s where
you need to be.

to get journalists to write about your
products? Are you still making websites? Is
your social networking strategy to “get a
