It is a myth to think you can jump on the social networks and see immediate results. Many marketers and business leaders fail simply because they underestimate the amount of work required. They get sold on the social media easy button and “Facebook is free” mentality. Unfortunately many are unprepared, impatient and lack a cohesive marketing, business, content marketing and brand strategy, yet wonder why they see zero return on their investment.
The truth is that the ability to achieve real business results using social media requires proper research, education, planning, an understanding of your audience and much more.
