Social Media Marketing is one of the fastest growing forms of marketing in this day and age. Along with that bring a list of myths that revolve around Social Media. That includes myths the belief that social media is free. In fact everything you post on social media becomes a form of data that the company can then resell. Another is that good social media must go “viral”. Social Media will replace traditional media. Lastly, good social media must reach millions of people. All of these myths have been thrown out of proportion. Companies and individuals have been brain washed by these ideas. These myths have set up the idea that for a product to be a good product the company selling it must have a social media page showing the product going viral or having millions of followers. It is sad to see how manipulative these myths have become in the marketing world and how so many individuals believe in them.
