This post is part of my Bad Career Advice series in which I expose outdated, clichéd, and counterproductive advice for exactly what it is. I understand the sentiment behind this piece of advice and clearly, its intent is to push you past your own perceived limits. While its heart is in the right place, I believe the advice to “never give up&# also ignores the blatant reality of life and instills the idea that quitting for any reason is an unacceptable act of defeat.

Some claim that social media can revive failing businesses; others that it can significantly increase your brand power. Like most marketing forms, the value of social media is variable. Some will generate direct income from it, while others will find fairly mixed results. There’s one field in which social media truly shines: SEO. However, most of the web’s well-known social media marketers are focused on branding and direct sales, with very few dabbling in anything but the most basic
