IS NOT going to occur. Because of this, you MUST have a DAILY online presence in order to participate in the community and be seen and heard. A tree doesn't develop in spurts. It must exert itself consistently. The same holds true for your social media promotion.
2) Concentrating excessively on being heard.
FIRST LISTEN, THEN SPEAK. Listening to what is being said on social media, by your prospects and customers, and on social media in general. You wouldn't burst into a party or other social gathering and shout out what you wanted to talk about.
You shouldn't do either on social media. Only participate in the ongoing dialogue after you have LISTENED and LEARNED. It will be your turn to initiate the conversation.
3) Stealing from the social media community rather than giving.
Yes, there are many takers in the Web 2.0 era. NOT YOU, however. LEND first. Add value. Make recommendations. Offer guidance. Provide suggestions. Encourage others. impart news Provide Fresh Options. Express gratitude with words. But, avoid taking constantly. You'll get the cold shoulder and be called that.
