Thanks for your thoughts……
I have done a lot of those mistakes, most people do that initially anyway. I persisted with blogger for a long time, that wasted valuable time, work put into the free blog… but even when i started out i was not having a proper plan of action. Its a big mistake not to have a plan, a target divided into goals.

Thanks for your effort………
I think that additional media marketing mistakes:
1. forgetting to establish clear aims and audiences before embarking
2. forgetting to work out a company strategy for how you will deal with negative comments.
3. forgetting to include review and measurement as part of your strategy

I couldn't agree more with your "direct messages" and "being a robot" points. Automated messaging will ruin the authentic person to person communication element that drives our interest to Twitter. You need to sell yourself before anyone will consider buying your products. www.JavaSocialNetworking.com

I guess I should “never say never” – that is one situation where the standard message will do just fine…as long as that isn't how you introduced yourself out loud too!

Thanks for the feedback Waylow, Leslie, Gerald, Marci, and Mohammed.
Interestingly, while you have different angles on these “mistakes”, my
takeaway from all your comments is the same: Thoughtless automation makes
social media easier, but dramatically lessens its benefits – even to the
point of alienating your existing network. Definitely appreciate your
responses.

Mistakes #3 and #8 regarding retweets and linking can be just can as detrimental to your personal brand as it can be a positive platform for conversation and spreading information. I have begun to ignore (and even stop following in some cases) the content of some people I follow on facebook and twitter because there seems to be no thought behind their messages, it's all about volume for them. It is a constant barrage of links and retweets. Make your content count and stop worrying about the number of followers you have.

Very useful info., thanks for posting. I too hate the auto DM's on Twitter! Either take the time to write a personal note or don't say anything at all. It does nothing for me that you are sending me a message you send to everyone…..except irritate me! I thought the point about connecting all your profiles, I am going to make sure mine are connected right now!
