Honestly
SMM marketing is based largely on personal interactions. The "spin" of traditional advertising is NOT expected. Social media messages are exposed to public view, so expect a high degree of scrutiny: facts will be checked and promises must be kept.
Passive strategy

To implement, seek out mentions of your business, its competitors and the category of industry and spend time listening to what people are saying. After achieving familiarity with the conversations, response can begin. Simply saying thank you and answering questions is a great first step.

The general rules of engagement provide a guidance on how to avoid a costly mistake by behaving properly on the social web.
Basic rule of permission marketing
both a blessing and a curse: money is enough to buy the way in. Effective permission marketers earn the attention of their audience.

comes from the customer or fan base, not the firm.

When selecting a social media platform,
marketers should consider the characteristics of the target audience, such as: - Is the target consumers and professionals? - Where do they hang out? - Is my product visual? - Are my consumers content oriented? - Do they like to collaborate? - Are product demonstrations needed?
