Most entrepreneurs take years to perfect their brand going through multiple steps and tons of research to make sure that their product or service is perfect before releasing it to the public. The same kind of effort you put into your brand should be put into you social media marketing strategy. Although you may not see this as part of your brand, a lot of businesses flop because they do not have the right kind of exposure on social media.
Playing off of the first mistake, the second mistake is not committing adequate resources. The question is not “How much time should I spend on social media?” but “How can I utilize all these different resources?” One thing that is not lacking in the world of social media is resources that are easy to use and find. You must be committed to take the time to adapt to these resources in order to have an effective social media platform.
The third mistake is probably the easiest to avoid; it is important to realize that social media takes time. Just like it takes time to build relationships in your life, it takes time to build relationships in social media. It is important to remember, that as hard as it is to build those relationships once they have momentum it is a lot easier to produce returns and revenue.
