Many now are using Facebook for a business networking platform, (yes I understand it can be great for personal connections to).   However a trap is becoming very obvious to me and many of facebook are guilty of this very Facebook sin.

The type of user this is directed at is the user pushing out so much content that others do not get to push their information in between.  There content is coming so fast you see nearly a whole page of their status and feeds.  This is the perfect example of someone that will have their facebook feed hidden or worse taken off a list.  The arguement is on the other side its a good way to see who really wants to listen to you, it also gives you leverage.  I disagree in  life variety is good.  Business and your audience is not all about one dimension of content or information.  If you do this you could be classed as giving information over load.  I call it a sin as its not strategy savatarging your presence and your authority, it undoes your hard work in Social Media.  It is not strategy making people sick and tired of hearing you.

Overkill is happening, their is a way to ensure your not guilty and your feed is not taken off their home page.  There are steps to ensure you do not look like the kid that is starving for attention.  I watch this often even with great people.  I know what the person is trying to achieve like all business on Facebook traffic, exposure, presence or leadership in niche.  However this is what happens.

• Your feed is hidden
• Your unfollowed as over bearing
• Your audience stops communication and conversing on your stream
• You are no longer getting paid attention to at ALL.

On Facebook the importance is on your Status and your feed whether it be a page or profile.  In business strategy its an important core of your Social Media presence.  With strategy its important to note to keep your audience intrigued or entertained.  However not the most important strategy to engage your audience.

A  quality with presence and respect I am sure is everyone’s aim.  Whether you be a leader or follower building a relationship must be the core focus.  Getting trust and building on this trust must be the core focus in any Social Media Strategy.  To do this is quite simple.  You add value where you can add something to a conversation.  You can comment and get to know your followers paving the way to further communications and everyone knowing who you are.  Giving others attention, giving others credit is part of being good at facebook.  When I watch those who use facebook effectively, they communicate, they comment, they answer and they follow up.  They watch others that provide value and add to the value if they can.  This strategy is noticed.

That is when you get friends that see your Contribution then wish to know you more as they liked what you said, so not only do you contribute you build your relationships and get more.

1) Not using your name on your profile.

2) Never learning how to do a @ reply, you are missing viral effect & marketing advantage and leaving money on the table.

3)Sending repetitive messages that show duplicates on your profile, (also the same deadly sin is sending 5 messages at once), its unprofessional, do not do it.

4)Not uploading your personal photo to your personal profile, You are real you are a person use your photo.  Do not use alvin and the chipmunks, a book or icon, if its personal use your own Photo not some movie stars.

5)Using Twitter with no Background, Like not even having a front door on a house……….not done.

6) Having code showing in a message, (this could be html code or BBC code it looks ugly everyone knows what you were trying to do its horrible).

7)Not getting to know whom you are following; this could prove a dilema for your reputation if for example; Your a Child advocate and have a porn star follow you………..this connects you with a porn star……….do you really want to be connected and have your name associated with that topic?

This Sins of Twitter where produced to provide some unwritten laws of twitter that one must abide with.

With all the talk on Social Media Marketing, one cannot help but think of the old trusty Twitter.

It is part of the furniture, my husband a NON-EXISTANT Twitter user knows it. Its on the News.

There is where I come to My Headline, “10 DM’s on Twitter that make Social Media People Squirm”, not even sure squirm is the right word. Perhaps unfollow is the correct term or delete contact.  That is how a bad DM can make someone feel about that contact.

Almost as commonly as anyone knows Capitals are Yelling on Twitter, so is the Bad DM. So much so many just will not use DM’s on twitter. (Fact)

My example I have had recently was a person inviting me to expand my list of Twitter followers.  Their Twitter followers Size was 395, how can that person say they are using it more effectively that someone with 3,000++ on their list of followers?

Do not get me wrong a list of 395 can be productive and great conversation marketing, that is not my point.  The point is some DM’s just stink to high heaven.  So here is my top 10 disgusting DM’s Received.
