The Social Media Expert Question

The Social Media Expert Question Posted using ShareThis

I was hoping ShareThis would post the video, but alas, it did not, so let’s just roll with it.  Click the link to see the video, or check it out on Facebook.

I’m not going to add much to this, but I did just recently mention CC in a previous post, and this video seems to have picked up a lot of traction in a short amount of time.

It’s common sense to CC, and it’s common sense to me, but Social Media puts a notion in people that they can become an expert in it with a perception in no time at all, rather than being an actual expert.  If you watched the video, you will see that CC says it simply takes hard work and just doing it.  Just like how to become an expert in anything else.  I’ve been immersed in Social Media since 2005, and I’m still learning new things constantly, but I’m four years ahead of everyone else just starting now.  That’s a pretty big gap.  And CC will be the first to tell you that if you think you are an expert in Social Media, you need to re-evaluate the term expert.  IMHO, there are very few experts in this field, and by very few, maybe 3 or 4.  Many others may be up there, but can’t call themselves an expert. (apologies for the vagueness of that statement, I’ll explain more later)

That’s it, just a few thoughts on what CC said.  Have an opinion?  I’d love to hear it.

Dude/Dudette! Thanks for coming back, you make my day! :D Contact me at jeremy@jeremyvaught.com and let me know what you are up to.

Cheers!
