New Blog Post: Measuring YOUR Audience's Participation in Social Media http://ping.fm/DcPa8

Business Success in Social Media by Setting Goals and Monitoring

Earlier this week, I wrote about how to measure success in your social media marketing, today, I’m going to look at one of the key steps in measuring success that should happen before you even step in the arena of social media marketing — defining your business goals in using social media marketing. Measuring success begins with understanding what your business goals are and what you expect to achieve in using social media. Without this, how can you possibly start to measure your success?

Social Media Marketing Metrics

Social media is here and it seems wherever you go online, you hear about your absolute need to use it, participate in it, and if you don’t do it — you’re losing out, right? Yes and no. The most important question, one that tends not to be on the minds of most using social media is how exactly do you measure success in your social media marketing? Friend, that is a loaded question. Some social media experts will tell you it’s impossible, you can’t measure the dynamic nature of social media. Other experts will tell you it’s as easy as measuring this and that. Well, I say, their both right and their both wrong. Huh?!
