Sometimes a business will join Facebook with visions of instant success and many followers. Forbes offers a few reasons why your business may be failing on Facebook.
You’re trying too hard.
Spamming your followers with non-stop brand-related chatter will make you lose followers, not gain fans. Social media works best when it involves an element of play. Develop a compelling voice. Be entertaining. Use humor. This the internet, not a board meeting.
You don’t get it.
Here’s the thing: You don’t have to understand social media. In fact, those who refer to themselves as “social media rock stars†really don’t get it. The truth is: Nobody gets it, not really, not yet. It’s evolving. Today’s expert is tomorrow’s idiot.
You don’t own it.
You hired a company to do your social media for you. Since you became their client, they’ve had a dozen different people working on your account. How can you expect your business to succeed when your social media plan amounts to passing the buck?
