Why (Not How) Social-Media Marketing Works: It’s Just Like Dating

By Fausto Mendez

    Most people understand how social-media marketing works, but a lot of business owners and marketers can’t wrap their heads around why it works. In my most recent guest post at Smart Blogs, I break down “why” – not “how” – social-media marketing is such an effective marketing channel. 

    Actually, the answer is more closely related to the mechanics of dating than any subcategory of marketing. It turns out good daters may have it all figured out. I suggest you dive into my post at Smart Blogs for the details. It’s a short but insightful read, and if you’re involved in marketing in any form, you may find it more useful than you may have assumed.

    Once you understand why social-media marketing is so powerful, you may find a boost in your ability to execute more effective marketing campaigns in any marketing channel.

    I’m currently authoring a new guest blog for a different site, but the details are still up in the air. Needless to say, I’m excited. Of course, you’ll hear about it when it finally hits the air.
