Hi Jamie,

We are guilty to some degree with some of these, but you will save yourself lots of time if you try to avoid them as much as you can. Make sure to put a plan and a schedule together so it doesn’t become so overwhelming. Good luck!

Thanks for the tips! Being a small, start-up with just myself to do all social media in addition to all marketing tasks, it’s overwhelming. I’ll keep these in mind to stay on track and not get discouraged!

This is a fantastic list on what not to do in social media! Social media is something that any small business owner can do, but it can be very tricky to master. I’m sure that many small businesses will benefit from the list you made.

I can’t stand mistake #42 because it kills any type of relationship building. Mistake #21 is something where business owners should realize that it takes patience combined with implementing the right strategies to start seeing the rewards from using social media.

Thanks Mirna for great article!

Thank you all for your comments. Anne, yes I hate no photos too. People who don’t have photos are also mistaken for spammers.

You mention using inappropriate photos – what I hate is no photo at all…a faceless generic profile pix is creepy and sends a negative message – you’re hiding something, you can’t be bothered, you don’t take Social Media serioously.
