Because social media is so interactive, it can constantly shift and change; therefore, a savvy marketer needs to be extremely familiar with the community and know how each social media website audience is different from the next. Also, one story on the Digg home page does not an expert make.

Their goal is to send press pitches, not to buy ads on your site. If a blogger outreach consultant or social media agency emails you a story pitch, read their signature. Most PR people aren’t in a position to buy ads. Rule #4: This could be the start of something big. Perhaps, real ad sales will follow.

Yes, Twitter and Facebook and Digg and other niche sites cost nothing to join, making social media a relatively free marketing option. Audiences there are large, but they are there to connect, not to buy. Companies need to leverage different social media channels if they want buyers.
