Common Social Media Myths

While many professionals and business owners use Social Media to market, others are hesitant to jump on board due to fears and uncertainties. Here we debunk some common myths about Social Media.

Myth #1: "Social Media is for teenagers and college students"

FALSE! In 2009, Facebook (#1 social networking site) reported a 276% growth rate amongst users 35-54 years old and a 194.3% growth rate amongst ages 55+ (Source: iStratgey Labs). And, according to the Nielsen report (link above) the users most likely to visit the popular micro-blogging site Twitter, are between the ages of 45-54.

Myth #2: "You have to be computer savvy to understand & use Social Media"

Most developers today understand that ease of use is one of the most important factors in whether or not their products will catch on and keep users coming back for more. If you know how to turn on a computer and send and receive email, you'll have no problem learning how to use Social Media to market your business.

Myth #3: "I'm way too busy and don't have the time"

In order to see any benefits from Social Media, someone must be willing to devote at least 20-30 minutes a day to it. If that's not possible, one could always delegate the task to a trusted member of their staff.

Myth #4: "Social Media doesn't produce results"

This is 100% true... if you don't know what you're doing. There is a reason why many of the largest corporations in the world have integrated Social Media into their overall marketing strategy. (e.g. Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Pizza Hut and Oprah to name a few)

Social Media enables us to attract an audience interested in what we have to offer, build trust, establish relationships, and communicate our message to our followers on a regular basis.

Do you think a business could generate leads and sales marketing this way?

Myth #5: "Social Media is the only form of marketing you need to do"

While Social Media can be a very powerful and effective way to market a business, we always recommend using an array of tools and strategies. Email, face-to-face networking, and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) are some of the most effective.
