Is Facebook A Waste Of Time?
Is advertising on Facebook a lot of hype and are you wasting your time and money?
Many direct marketers are asking this question. Over the last month came the bad news over disappointing Facebook IPO following the announcement that GM was pulling its Facebook advertising because of its ineffectiveness.

Investing in social media marketing maybe a trend that is on it’s way out at least for a while until you can measure an return on investment, like you can with any other advertising channel.
The current situation with Facebook and advertising maybe a passing trend and many new advertisers may prove that you can indeed make a profit by getting your prospects to hit the like button.
