In order to do well when marketing, one should have tactical knowledge and ideally, first-hand experience of the specific social media platform.

Social media is a continuous effort, not something that is only campaign-based. Campaign-based social media marketing only works when it complements continuous social media marketing. In other words, don’t show up in the social space only when you need a hand. Thanks for the comments, Kristen!

No, building your personal brand in social media does not count. In social media marketing, the assets are missing. Just because your wonderful piece of linkbait that drove 30,000 visitors to via Digg succeeded once (or maybe twice) doesn’t mean that you’re ready to go at having those clients alone. Much like SEO.
