From our Online Marketing Community:

On How to Improve Influencer Engagement? Avoid These 50 Fails, Muba Mi said, “Wonderful list of fails on influencer marketing. A few of them even make one never be in connect with a targeted influencer. They are the people who don’t have time to review their decision and once they de-friend someone never add him again. Thanks a lot for sharing this epic post. Have a great day mate.”

heidicohen commented, “Lee–Thank you for including me. I love how fun you make this piece to read. Every PR professional should print it out and post it in front of their computer before they call or email. Happy marketing, Heidi Cohen”

And tompick responded, “As outstanding as this list is Lee, I think you missed a big one (or am I the only person this happens to?) – completely off-topic pitches! (Which show the PR flack really has no idea who you are.) I blog about b2b technology marketing and related topics – yet I’ve received pitches about fast food restaurant videos, new menswear brands, Hollywood movies tie-ins to food brands, and pet care products (just in the last few days). Ugh.”
