RK's first lesson in social media?

[MJ DeMarco]

Not sure if any of you are "friends" with Robert Kiyosaki on FB, but he posted a status update that other day that looks like it blew up in his face.

Most school teachers are communists. They want to get paid more for doing less. They talk capitalism, but practice communism.

There are 100's of comments on this update and most of them negative. Robert has not commented to any of them and some of them are from "ex-fans".

While I understand the point of his "status update" I don't believe polarization (most political posts are polarizing) is a good tactic for a mass-market brand. In other words, I don't think he sold any books as a result of this update.

My rules on Facebook are to avoid political postings (which I had to learn the hard way) ... seems like Robert has not adopted a similar philosophy.

I thought this was a great lesson in branding and social media ... what NOT to do, unless you are selling political books.

Your thoughts? (And not on the thoughts of his comment)
