Step #3: Which posts are working and which ones aren’t?

If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. This is a great rule that too many entrepreneurs dismiss when it comes to social media marketing.

Take some time to review your social analytics data. Go on, take a quick look … I’ll wait.

After careful review you may have realized some of your posts have higher levels of engagement than others. Take a look at the content that has loads of interaction. Then look at the following factors:

 

  • What time of the day did you post?
  • What time of the week did you post?
  • What kind of posts are they? Pictures, videos, links or text?

 

Now take a look at the posts that aren’t doing so well and consider the same factors. Is there a big difference? If so, try and adapt your posts so that they’re all like the ones that do work.

 

Social Media Synergy

Now that you have a way to identify the right social media metrics, discover where ideal customers are finding you, and refine content you can attract more fans. More importantly, you can measure how many people:

 

  • See a post and interact with it
  • Visit your website as a direct result of social media activities
  • Take a specific action within your sales funnel (e.g., sign up for your services)

 

By looking at social media marketing from a different angle, you can get a clear picture and a tangible social media ROI.
