Oh, yeah… I remember the days of “You built me a website last week. Where are my new customers?” That was fun. Not.

Glad you enjoyed the post, Matt.

Ha! I get people coming to me with a glassy-eyed look in their eyes expecting that social media will be the things that:

1. Increases their sales
2. Makes people like them
3. Increases their sales
4. Doesn’t cost anything

This reminds me of 1998. When people came in glassy-eyed expecting a website to magically impact their marketing efforts.

Great post Kat. Made me laugh.

Thanks for the comment, David. I’m glad you enjoyed the post. It largely sprang from spending a lot more time than usual this last few months around college students. When I told them what I do for a living, the response was humorous.

I recall one kid in particular had a very good grasp of the situation. He said “I get paid to Facebook, too. My boss just doesn’t know it.”
