5 Signs You Are Not a Social Media Expert

I just searched Google for social media expert and found 83,600,000 results. So how do you know if the person you are getting advice from is a really a social media expert or just a wanna be? Here are the top 5 signs that you should look for:

1. The call themselves a Guru
2. Their followers are a bunch of self promoting spammers
3. They never post their own tweets and they don’t engage in conversations (sign of automation!)
4. They don’t exist when you Google them
5. They are telling you to use outdated tools or resources

If you are hiring a social media expert make sure you get some references and at the very least check out their own social media sites. Are they branded? Do they look professional? Use common sense and take the time to learn about who you’re connecting with.

Take Care,
