  3. dpix answered: Are right? Maybe. I sure get the idea that the SALES PEOPLE for the social media are clueless. And this is hard… moving fast.

  6. vantagewest answered: I could not agree more ! what defines an expert? Where is the control. Well said!
  7. gregmadhere answered: Fact is when you’re off to the next BIG THING, they’ll still be spamming twitter feeds. Then they’ll read your book for overnight expertise!
  8. loganmchenry answered: he Gary some things need to be said, but the backlash was understandable
  9. soemarko answered: 100% agreed. plus true social media expert don’t call themselves _social media expert_
  10. pstonier answered: I’m with you, Gary. You have to be in it and understand it beyond theory. Creating actionable plans to execute over jumping in without a padd
  11. heathaplexvision answered: I believe what you are trying to convey is having a holistic understanding of the “social media” space is far more beneficial.
  12. mikemonty answered: Well i think the people bitching about this just read the title and then commented. where the hell is the rest of the convo? I wanna see it.
  13. nicklindwall answered: Nice post Gary. Totally agree. Here in the UK so many are jumping the bandwagon claiming to be experts and teaching people to suck eggs.

    point… It reminds me so much of...late 90’s when Blockbuster hired an army of “E-Commerce”...
  15. gcinteractive answered: Being a social media “expert” also needs to be about a willingness to take real questions from your audience, and not just “seed.” Good job!
  16. lazvillamil answered: Gary is absolutely right on! It is exaclty like late 90’s when Blockbuster hired e-commerce experts, and lost their market share to Netflix!
  17. sushisolutions answered: I agree with this whole video. The only thing I don’t like Gary, you should have had TYE sitting ontop of that green book at the end. =)

  20. thesecurityforcaster answered: Gary, I think you’re right on. I agree with you and we need to know who we’re hiring.
  21. leeegstrom answered: If you were offended or think Gary was talking about you when he said “95% of Social Media Experts are Clowns.” He was.
  22. collendubose answered: kanye west, bieber, and charlie sheen are the only “social media experts” because people give a fuck what they say
  23. theindieplaylists answered: You’re only a “clown” if your clients aren’t happy with the performance and brand you’re generating for them. They can always fire you!
  24. ibuildfanpages answered: Thank you Gary for opening this conversation. You must have the “chops” and if you don’t go get them. I know I am learning more everyday.

    Social Media Clowns?
  26. freedomtribe answered: Gary, you are right on. Their are Social Media folks who get it & make a great living at it. Other ‘experts’ are not on top of their game.
  27. markdasilva answered: I get what you’re saying Gary and agree completely! In the end cleaver marketing strategies can’t replace real life business experience!
  28. kyerussell answered: I’m completely agree, I don’t believe that there’s such thing as a social media expert..well, as they’re portrayed now.
