"Why should a company hire someone like an ‘expert’ when they can just as easily get an intern for free, or on the very cheap? From the outside, it looks like all someone like me has to do is get on Facebook a few times a day and write up a silly post, share a picture, or answer a question."

"Social media has increased the expectation among consumers that your business will have a credible online presence. Those conclusions are based on first impressions made through your Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Pinterest pages. Visitors not only critique who you are due to the design and content found on your social sites, but the approach, voice and tone of the page. Most importantly, they are looking at whether you maintain a consistent presence."
lizebizz's insight:
Block to success: planning on the front-end and no strategy to drive any achievable or measurable goals forward. Knowing your end goal and desired results allows you to focus your time, energy and money on what is working rather than simply throwing ideas at a wall and hoping they stick. Identifying which social channels your target audience is using and then knowing how to connect with them is crucial to social media success.

4 incredible social media metrics help crystallize effectiveness of your SM efforts: Conversation, Amplification, Applause & Economic Value.

Great article that explains on how to calculate metrics from what actually matters in Social Media: "Not the number of Friends / Followers / Subscribers or the number of posts / tweets. Not the ridiculous Followers to Following ratio. Because what matters is everything that happens after you post / tweet / participate!"

"Do you wonder why always the same people engage with your page posts? It's simple: because Facebook isn't even showing your posts to the other fans. Before showing a post to a certain fan, that fan first has to like, share or comment on your page. At least once."

BOOSTING FACEBOOK POSTS
Do you wonder why always the same people engage with your page posts? It's simple: because Facebook isn't even showing your posts to the other fans. Before showing a post to a certain fan, that fan first has to like, share or comment on your page. At least once. So, if you want to ensure all your Fans get to see a certain status update, you will have to pay for that, as Facebook offers you to promote (or 'boost') that post. Underneath article explains very well how this actually works. I will try it out too and tell you about the results! |
