If you ask brand managers and internet marketing managers about social media, chances are that they will tell you one of the two things :
- It’s useless and does not help in selling my brand or product
- We are in the process of building a Social Media Strategy
Whenever I hear or read the above lines, I interpret that most internet marketers, just don’t get social media and the value it can bring to the brand or product.
Now, if you are struggle to explain social media to your clients or to your boss, just flip the presentation “What the F**k is Social Media” by Martha Kagan. The stats cited in the presentation make it well worth the read, after reading the entire presentation if your client or boss is still unclear about “What is Social Media” and “Why they should be using it” then even God can’t help them.

Very amusing video. I sometimes wonder if we are doing all these social media things because someone says it’s the thing to do. I have seen the traffic to my blogs increase by submitting posts to social media site.
Awesome! I can’t believe that many brands are not even using social media online today, especially since it is one of the best ways to establish relationships with many people and get your name out there. Even celebrities have caught on to the Twitter craze, so you’d think that other businesses would give social media a chance.
There are many good companies, which is not using social media to target peoples. But this is really very effective way.
There a lot of people who are using social media to target people. its not good way.
I don’t know someone who doesn’t know what social media is.
Unless they aren’t making money from the internet.

I’m one of the naysayers of social media. Perhaps our area does not ‘get’ social media, but I’m not seeing the advantages of social media that folks are hyping. We have our social profiles in place, kinda like a Navy has ships when there are no threats. We are ready if our neck of the woods decides to take up Twitter, Facebook, etc. But for now, we’ll stick with more traditional forms of online marketing.

Internet marketing and branding mostly revolves around social media sites. Without them, they would probably love a huge margin of their sales. Due to the fact that social media sites are nothing but viral, they are making more and more profits as technology and Internet progresses due to the fact that social media sites make information that much more viral.

Very nice slide show. Thanks for sharing it.
This is a great slideshow, those stats are pretty crazy. So many people use social media. Its a great way for things to go viral.
I think social media is media that is used to create awareness of a brand, but it doesn’t really mean that you would make sales from it.

Too funny, a talented social media person must be extremely innovative, resourceful, intellectual and be constantly interacting with other knowledgeable people in the field. Very few people fall in to that category, I know I don’t.
It’s just a new word really, for an old concept. Us humans like to keep on inventing new vocabulary for no reason at all.

A really nice video with lots of information and points. In fact the roles of social media are becoming more and more eminent just day by day.
Some years ago using the generally liked websites with lots of bookmarks could be like a suggestion but nowadays for the professionals they may be like a must actually.

Make a stupid type of social profile with number of pics and videos. You will be added by so many social friends. Put your url there and get free visitors.
Ha Ha thats a good article and ‘only god can help them’ is a good way to phrase the situation.
Ouch! Comparing Social Media to teen sex is quite an opener for the slideshow presentation. It does get the point across though, and is a great way to immeadiately grab the attention of the viewer. It sure is a good little marketing trick……
Tricks also may be useful especially in the market.

A lof of small businesses made huge success because of social media. It is a very powerful tool if used right. Its just not all marketers don’t know how yet. Don’t they realize huge companies and the US President himself have huge presence on Social media networks? That alone should move them and act quickly.
I can completely guide my client about social media. Its all clear and informative.
