The Minimalist's Guide To Social Media Metrics

The Minimalist's Guide To Social Media Metrics | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

The buzz around startup culture lately is all about “minimum viable product.” It’s the idea of creating a product as quickly as possible — in its most minimum viable form — so you can then make it better by adapting it to what your customers really...

 

What if we could pinpoint the metrics that provide the biggest bang for our buck in terms of telling us whether our efforts are paying off while taking the least amount of time to measure? Focusing only on what matters (and nothing more) could satisfy the ROI demons, keep bosses and clients happy, and give social media marketers more time to do what we’re supposed to be doing: engaging and connecting with our communities.

 

So, whether you’re still struggling to measure social media effectiveness or simply want to declutter your measurement efforts, Here’s your minimalist guide to social media metrics....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

You'll find these very practical social media measurements to be easily implemented. A good guideline.

Whether You Like it Or Not, You Need #Klout | Social Media Today

Whether You Like it Or Not, You Need #Klout | Social Media Today | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

It seems to me that whenever I bring up the topic of Klout, I get three types of reactions. One type of reaction is confusion – “what is Klout?” or “I have heard of it but not sure what it really is”. Another type of emotional response is passionate hate and anger whenever anything about Klout is mentioned. Then the last form of response is understanding it and wanting to learn ways to work with Klout and use it to the individual’s best advantage....


Your Klout Score Does Matter

Yes, it does. Especially if you are a business owner or are in fields that involve marketing, PR, coaching, music, writing, politics, or anything that involves social media – which has become more prevalent now and will continue to do so – you need to face the fact that your Klout score is looked at more than you realize....


Jeff Domansky's insight:

The case for Klout: Yes, your score does matter.

Pinterest Analytics User's Guide | Social Media Today

Pinterest Analytics User's Guide | Social Media Today | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Pinterest announced that they're now offering their users access to a rich set of statistics for their pins and pin activity. Called simply Pinterest Analytics, it is available to any user with a verified website (not just "business" accounts). This is a much-needed asset for business owners and bloggers as it will help you see not only how your pins have performed, but what content other people have pinned from your website and how those pins have performed.

 

The analytics includes how many people pinned content from your site, how many people saw those pins, and how many people visited your site from those pins (clicked through). You will also be able to see your most popular pins, the ones that have been repinned and clicked the most, as well as most recent pins. Businesses can use Pinterest Analytics to evaluate the value and ROI of a Pinterest presence. At 10.5 million users and rising, Pinterest definitely provides a rich and growing audience for business owners, and these new analytics will show off just how much traffic and interest the site is generating in your brand....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Useful walkthrough of Pinterest analytics.

Five ways to avoid social media fragmentation | Econsultancy

Five ways to avoid social media fragmentation | Econsultancy | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
The most common problem I’ve come across in social media is what I’ll call ‘fragmentation’. It’s the attempt by marketers to use as many platforms as possible in an effort to reach a potential audience.

 

What generally occurs is a fragmentation of attention and resources away from what suits the company best – and whatever ‘strategy’ was in place consequently falls flat because it lacks focus.

 

This post is a five step guide to approaching a multi-platform social media strategy. Hopefully you'll be even more resistant to tech press hype and clearer on how to integrate your social media platforms by the end of it....
