Are you a social media expert?

    Hello guys,

    I am just so curious about your reactions regarding this statement,” There is no such thing as a social media expert.” I got this from the other speakers in the social media arena and they confirmed that statement. Do you have the same opinion with them?

    So, what do you think guys? My belief is that once you are a speaker to a group on social media, you really acquire the proven know-how, right?

    If you know how to control social networking and bookmarking sites, know what the most popular sites are and how to dominate on them, gaining traffic and making your site popular on these sites... there is no reason you couldn't be called an "expert".

    I think so. I guess you exactly disagree with the statement.

    It all depends on how you understand what an expert is, some might not really be contented with just understanding how social networks are, what their advantages etc, so probably a great definition of an expert in social networking/media must be established.

    I think when you have worked much with social media, know how everything is working and when you can explain to others how it works that you can be called an expert.

    Yes, that is correct. When you have already a lot of experience and worked much with social media, then I think you deserve to be called as expert. Well, experience outsmarts everything.

    Why can't you be an "expert" in Social Media? I don't get it.

    It is because others believe that if you are really an expert in social media, then you are earning a lot now with the help of social media. Do you think this is the basis?

    I think we should define first what an expert in social media really is. Is he someone who got so much rich through social media? Is he someone who knows every ins and out when it comes to social media?

    I think what people mean when they say "One can't be an expert in social media" is that social media isn't something to learn. It's an approach to marketing, IMO.

    If you understand marketing and consumer psychology, and you know how to utilize social media to help you market..then you're a marketing expert, not a social media expert.


    Just my 2 cents.

    How about we get an official definition on social media, then expert and put them together.

    Whoever says there is no such thing is a completely retarded long-lost jonas brother, who should never be found.

    What makes you buy into their statements? Of course there can be experts in any field, it comes from experience and gaining wisdom and insight into something, eventually you will know much, much more than the "average" person, making you an expert to them. Stupid thread, come on guys we have better things to waste our time talking about :)

    i think its a statement created for conversation , you can become an expert in anything when you know how to turn nothing to something successful
