Today companies are launched to social networks just as they started to create a website. Some are a great success, others neither fu nor fa, and many have disappointing results. Thus we see lately recurring articles, with great success of hearing, on the few revenues in sales of the strategies in social networks.
It goes without saying that we could estimate more than 2 million businesses in without a website. No one has yet deceived them to do so. Sorry, I mean, no one has yet put forward a coherent concept that they can understand, and explained how to take advantage of a website and online marketing in general.
Where is the problem?
The problem in my opinion is that often professionals who offer these services, such as web page development, social media management and general online marketing, know these tools, weapons, but lack adequate knowledge to apply them correctly. They do not understand the business of their clients, do not have enough marketing knowledge, and perform a standardized application of the tools. Thus, success becomes practically a matter of chance. Based on using the same strategies in the end is right with some company to which it works.
The weapon does not make the warrior.
