How do you set up an online membership community? Why shouldn't I rely on social media sites alone?

Online membership communities are an incredible way to get your message out, and gain the trust of your audience. But it is a little hard to know what to do, where to start, how to set everything up, and so on. Social media sites have really changed the way people interact with one another and have made it easier for organizations to communicate with their target markets. The question is, should you rely on them alone as your only means of communication?
