10 THINGS THAT SOCIAL MEDIA “GURUS” TEACH THAT ARE MISTAKES

We do things differently in Social Media United… 
Here’s a list of 10 ways you can avoid these major social media mistakes:

1. We don’t get “paid on performance”.
   1. Get paid a set retainer – leave the ‘paid on performance’ for those who run that type of agency (they have TONS of experience).
2. We don’t get paid AFTER we work.
   1. Always start work after the invoice has been paid.
3. We don’t believe that the customer is always right.
   1. We love our clients!!! BUT – we also love them enough to tell them when their ideas of the best marketing plan aren’t in line with their actual best interests.
4. We don’t build our businesses at the expense of our families.
   1. Family, friends, freedom ARE life – we don’t live to work… We love to work and live lives of freedom!
5. We don’t chase shiny new tactics.
   1. PROVEN strategies only – no shiny object syndrome!!!
6. We don’t reinvent the wheel – we use proven templates and processes.
   1. You’ve got EVERYTHING you need inside of the SMU portal – templates, worksheets, guides.
7. We don’t FAKE some influencer lifestyle – we build a life we love.
   1. No need to pretend you’ve got a Lambo… You want to drive a minivan? GO FOR IT. I like 3 row SUVs because they’re practical with kids.
8. We don’t give up when it’s hard.
   1. We choose to THRIVE when most people are surviving.
9. We don’t bash people or make them feel stupid for asking questions.
   1. We respect one another – SMU CREW FO LIFE
10. We don’t see other social media managers as competition. That’s our community.
    1. Rising tides lift all ships. YES PLEASE.

We created a MANIFESTO for social media managers inside of Social Media United, and we LIVE by it.
