Working as a social media consultant, I’ve noticed that it’s not the social media sites themselves that clients have a difficult time mastering, it’s figuring out what to say once they get there.
They’re excited to have a new platform to talk to their customers and to be part of this ever-growing social conversation, but they’re lacking those handy conversation starters and the types of tweets they should be sending out to the masses. So they say nothing at all.
