Social media and online
marketing isn’t about the
tools you use or the online

tools you use or the online
community you join, but
about the story you tell and
presence you make.

There is a lot of misinformation,
speculation, opinion and hype
being spread about online
marketing. Worse is the
expectation that social media
should be free, effortless, and
easy, yet produce greater ROI.
HYPE & HYSTERIA

While social media is free to
use, it is not free to do. Weigh
time and attention against
opportunity and return. It is
also not a task you complete!
