We’re all Social Media Specialists

by Noland Hoshino on January 20, 2010

Saw this cartoon and it made me think of whats to come in the next year or two. A few “experts” will claim to be  “Social Media Specialists” just because they are on Twitter and Facebook.

Not.

Success in social media for a business is more than being on the web, but an overall communication strategy that engages passive customers into loyal customers.

How many customers say “I saw your announcement on Twitter or Facebook?” If the answer is none to a very few, then your social media communications strategy by your “Social Media Specialist” isn’t working.

Yes!

When personal computers made it to home desktops we saw a significant rise in the number of “graphic designers.” When cameras went digital the number of “professional photographers” went through the roof. I’m willing to wager that the number of social media specialists will catch graphic designers and photographers.
