Get an email from someone who wouldn’t talk to you in high school saying that they want to be your friend on something called MyFace or something. Get an account there and write up your bio. (It’s okay to fib a little). Discover the world of vampires and food fights and share quizzes with the other people. Extra points for tagging your friends in unflattering photos

Great post - very funny. I am going to change my status to Social Media Expert everywhere for the next week and see what happens. Btw I am also an expert photographer and have a Flickr account to prove it! LOL!

LOL! This is hilarious! I totally get what you're after here.

On a more serious note...I don't believe for a minute that blogging is dead. Twitter's great for briefly announcing stuff you're doing in your home-based business (or to generally stay relevant in your chosen career, if you're over 40-something) and to just blurt out cool (even inspirational) thoughts that popped into your head but are so profoundly Zen that they don't need much elaboration.

But blogging allows one the freedom to elaborate. Twitter does not. Twitter allows you only 140 chars. Blogging allows however many words your mind and soul requires to furnish the nitty-gritty details of one's latest ventures, deepest thoughts, etc. Blogging even gives you a platform if you desire to turn your thoughts into a hardcopy book and you want to be published by the Big Houses.

Definitely lovin' the satire! As someone whose ancestors were very likely the bards of old who satirized crappy kings and chieftains, I say keep the sarcasm coming! :-D

Hi Chris, thanks for this post. Actually does Social Media Expert come in tablet form so I don't have to spend 4 days on it and if so where can I get it ? LOL But if you are seriously interested in taking the first steps to becoming an expert, Simon U. Ford has already given serious time and commitment to learning and teaching how to use social media and he has offered a huge amount of value...that's a major thing I have really learned from him. (kinda like you Chris!) He has already used social media techniques to sell thousands of copies of an excellent e-book (Social Traffic: Conversation marketing in a new media scape) and got Google Friend connect high up in Youtube rankings..he's one to watch.

I is there any way to speed this process up? I'm a fast learner I could do the program in a day! Do I get a special avatar or certificate I could print out for myself?

ha hA HA Hilarious! hoo hoO ;] too fnckin' funny ... i'm glad i went back in time and caught up w/ this one ...

i apsolutely LOVE: You can just PRINT MONEY at this point! ... i mean, this will likely be the future for the US Treasury anyhow ... download and print your budget for the week ...

AND

of course

i LOVED the MyFace reference ... i too have often tried to tittytwist the nomenclature for the new social web landScape of tools, tricks an' the like ... and besides MyFace, others that came up were SpaceBook, SpacedIn, FacedIn, FaceOut, FaceOff, Twatter, Pussederous, Bebo ( oh wait, that's real, grrrrrrr ... or NOT? ), SpaceIn, and the list could potentially go on ( but could be a bit too predictable ... ) ...

Thanks for more social web amazingness ...

Go back to your employer. See if it's not to late to get your old job back,...

Great stuff as always Chris. Not one thing that I could add, or disagree with....

Well, maybe just one. You forgot to work in the phrase, “Follow Me On Twitter.” Clearly, a social media expert would know this key phrase to use to gain millions of followers in one day.

If you have HubSpot, you can (and should!) use the HubSpot blog software. We use it for our own blog, and hundreds of HubSpot customers do the same thing because it is specifically built for a business blog. Anyone who already has a Wordpress blog can keep that and still use HubSpot if they like. HubSpot integrates with other websites/blogs.

The sad truth is that this post is spot on.

So many people get into this social media thing just to make money with no real commitment. Then they go sell the $27 ebook, get some suckers to buy it and never look back.

I took Simon's course too and one thing I learned was to always add value. Most of these people are so busy taking value that they never get their heads out of their a$$es long enough to see that they look like idiots to the rest of us that know better.

I got a good laugh from this post Chris, love everything you do, THANKS!

Ooopss! Sorry about the typo CHRIS. I need to proofread my posts more often.

Nice one Chirs!

Reminds me of something what Syndrome might say, something like "When everyone's a Social Media Expert, no one will be."

BILLY MAYS HERE!!

I appreciate the gentle mocking of people who claim to be Social Media Experts just because they looked up the meaning of SEO and SEM.

As for me, well, Social Media Commando isn't a Social Media Expert...

But I can Add up all the Change in your Purse Really Fast!
