Seth Godin on FB and Twitter for Biz:

He's speaking my language.

I've said it here before... Social Media is Self Media. The reason why it works is it's intensely personal.

Who cares if your on FB if only Dung Beetles will read your s**t !?!.

So many factors play in and if you're not on FB or Twiter it's not going to have an impact on your business... my.:2cents:

If you are on have a strong strategy the coin ends up with more then two sides. Should I talk? NOOO, because our strategy sucks right now but I'll tell you I've pounded back the kool aid and am working my tail off to come up with a stong SEO oriented plan to leverage social media. If over the course of the month it can move me up in organic search and gains me an extra 500 eyeballs then through conservative math, that will sell me at one car... $3500.
 

✨ AI Highlights

Joe Pistell challenges whether social media marketing (Facebook and Twitter) actually drives measurable sales for car dealers, arguing that time spent on these platforms would be better invested in proven marketing channels with clear ROI. While some respondents report modest Facebook transactions and note social media's value for reaching younger generations, the thread largely validates Pistell's position that social media is a low-priority branding exercise that shouldn't divert resources from core internet marketing strategies and conversion tools like chat and improved website content.
