Measuring Social Media

“All one needs is a computer, a network connection, and a bright spark of initiative and creativity to join the economy.” - Don Tapscott -

Want to know who was looking your social media site? Want to know how many likes your page has? Want to know who finds your business interesting and favorites you? Social Media Measurement does just that. Social Media Measurement is a tool used to deliver the information you need to measure and evaluate the impact of your media strategies. This is important for your company to have. Believe it or not, the time of day you Tweet, post on Facebook, or Blog post influences how big of an impact it will have.

On my Facebook page for Painting Wood Work and Design I have reached 90 people. I have had 5 engaged, 5 clicks, and 10 people follow me. I noticed in March, when I made my account, the numbers were a little bigger. I gathered this information using www.Cyfe.com.

Twitter is faster and more to the point when using www.Cyfe.com to track your business. On Twitter I have tweeted 150 times. On Twitter I am following 16 people, and 10 people are following me. My most popular Tweet was:  Interior Design Ideas | @scoopit via @lidpid123 http://sco.lt/6Ej1vN.



Cyfe is an all-in-one business dashboard app that helps you easily monitor and analyze all of your vital business data from one place. Check it out: http://www.cyfe.com/

 

One of the best sites I found to improve social media analysis was www.Cyfe.com. They have developed a cloud based service that helps with media issues you might have.  They help with out-reach and inform you how to improve your numbers. They allow you to easily monitor and share your vital business data from one single location in real-time. I liked this site because it was easy to follow when I visited it. You will see what I mean when you sign up, add a widget, and add your social media sites that you want include in the analysis. It quickly analyzes your site. It pulls up all followers, likes, site out-reach, and favorites.

Thanks. Have fun.

 

A Whole New World

“We all live every day in virtual environments, defined by our ideas”
- Michael Crichton-

This week I researched a virtual world website that I have never seen before. I am very excited to share about it!


WWW.SECONDLIFE.COM

Second Life is online game you can play where “Your world your imagination.” In Second Life you can be anything or anyone you want. You can even create yourself as an animal or object. Then you live the life you want, whether you are an animal in the ocean or an ordinary everyday person. Second Life is a 3D world where everyone you see is controlled by a real person (user), and every place you visit is built by user too.

I think that a second life would be beneficial for my business. It brings awesome new ideas to the table that can be used to market and promote my company. I could create a fun and artsy woman with a shop offering the same type of stuff my company has in real life in Second Life. Then I could use her to promote my company in the virtual world.

YELP!

Have you ever wondered how to get a quick and easy review or second opinion for something, but you didn’t have time to ask anyone face to face?

No problem!

There is a site made just for that, and it is only a click away. www.yelp.com Yelp is a web site designed for people to visit and post their opinions and/or reviews on just about any retailer. Their posts are anything like doctors and dentists to restaurants and bars, plus anything in between.

Yelp was founded in 2004. Since then it has about 53 million reviews posted. Yelp is easy to join. Simply visit www.yelp.com and sign up to be a member. The membership is free.  

I chose to join Yelp because I like to read the opinions that are posted. I like to try new restaurants.  I like that the site has restaurant reviews right at the very top of the page. There are thousands of reviews to choose from. Yelp is clear and to the point, and that is something I like in a review. I feel like I am getting honest feedback from the reviews on Yelp.

What I look for in a review is honest information, graphs, and statistics. This is what I think qualifies as a good review. It is what people want out of a properly done one. So I advise you to check out www.yelp.com Take a little bit of time to research something before you try it out for yourself.

Have Fun & Enjoy!

Business Commercial on YouTube

The emotions you can feel from watching a commercial or video can be amazing. In a video you can get a message across in so many creative ways. A video can be motivational. It can change your perception on life. It can guide you through a learning process.

This week I made a video commercial for my company.
 

Check it out! http://youtu.be/2TFp72fYT-s

Here are the steps I took:

1. I picked a topic that corresponded with my company. In this case, the topic was my rhubarb leaves.
2. I wrote a script of what I was going to talk about and the message I wanted to convey.
3. I set up my workstation, making sure that I had all the props and supplies to covey a strong message.
4. I then filmed my video to the appropriate time length.

I hope that you are enlightened. Keep in mind that videos can be fun, and you can be creative as you like!

Have fun and enjoy!
