10 Social Media Lessons I Learned The Past 4 Weeks

It’s been a while since I posted something. Gig with Pillar To Post has been very busy educating operators on how they can talk to their clients through social media. Unfortunately, I can not discuss any of our social media marketing strategies and plan.

What I can talk about thought are lessons I’ve learned from my fellow social media marketers, conferences and training. Here they are:

1. Video marketing is here to stay. Your video will not just sit in video sharing sites, it will appear on google too.

2. When selling homes, the first open house happens online.

3. Got a really bad product review? Take a deep breathe, apologize and rectify the situation.

4. Twitter is not just a good source of information as what others studies suggest – it can be a relationship tool. I use it to connect with my offline networks.

5. Offline networking and tweetups can co exist.

6. Live tweeting rocks! It brings your brand to the eyes of thousands of followers monitoring the event you’re covering.

7. Teens are getting bored of Facebook. Ugh.

8. Twitter is not a lead generation channel.

9. You should not take online reputation management lightly. It’s for real. And here to stay.

10. You can be dumb – just not post it online.
