Great pointers. As an add on the #9, many people are taking that one step further and creating their own stand alone social networks.

Hi thanks I have bookmarked your website and an going through pages of really useful information on marketing.Social media sites and random business efforts to get off hand exposure seems pointless and without any true return.Video seems(imo)the only one aspect of marketing promotion that really does work.(a picture a thousand words) Twitter and the like are so static filled as to make most(especially service based)businesses fall off the map.

Most people I find give up too early in there Social Media efforts.

They don’t post any content or ask questions to invite comments and relationships.

So many people call themselves an ‘expert’ in their profiles. Especially in Twitter it seems.

Focus on one or two networks. Link the others to your main focus.

Excellent post, you have discussed some important mistakes many marketers tend to make. I especially like point #5, where you discuss Digg. Digg is great, your right, but I agree that it’s important to focus on small niche social networking sites, it is one of the best ways to target your correct audience and engage the people who you really stand to benefit from.

You’re not on Twitter. These days Twitter is the most important site in social media. Facebook is bigger but you can’t use FB the way you can use Twitter.

You have to contribute to the community. It’s completely fine to talk about your stuff and link up things your doing. But you must be providing other useful resources. Talking with the people who do click on your stuff. And just over-all offer that helping hand just like you would to a best friend. This is what builds community and trust which leads to social media success
