I understand the appeal and get myself pulled into it from time to time, but most people probably don't need social media. I'm typing this in the hope that I'll remember it myself too. The social media sites show people with millions of followers which appears appealing because they usually don't do much work for those followers. Basically free sales right? They just type a bit from their toilet. However, it's a power law. Getting to the number 1 inside some niche is extremely hard and requires hard work and some luck.
