#2DEFINE SOCIAL MEDIA BY
WHAT IT IS NOT
“It’s not social media. It’s marketing.”
-Paul Ollinger
“If you think of social media as a tool,
then you are a tool.”
-Ben Parr
Social media is also not:
Limited to teenagers, egomaniacs, andcelebrities.
A replacement for a marketing plan.
Going away.
Social media is:
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogging, Foursquare, etc.
Anyplace people are conversing online.
Person to person. Thought to thought.
How people educate themselves about life, love, parenting,eating, politics, life insurance, and woodworking.
Where anyone can be a producer, a critic, and an expert.
Just one spoke in the marketing wheel.
