Every day the Internet supplies an avalanche of advice as to what you should and shouldn’t do in social media.
I’ve come to a point in my career where I don’t need advice from people I don’t know telling me what more I should do. What I’d welcome is some advice on what I should stop doing. That’s why I decided to reach out to industry influencers and asked them, “What was once considered good advice regarding social media that you either did, advised, or agreed with, but now, given the rapidly changing social media landscape, you no longer recommend?”
The net result is this ebook, “Hazardous to Your Social Media Health: 50 Previously Condoned Behaviors We No Longer Recommend” which includes quotes and advice from 56 influencers (listed below).
