Measuring Social Media

In my social media class, we are starting to learn about how to measure your social media accounts. You can count via quantitative or qualitative data. You should measure what you are posting, if people are liking and following you accounts, as well as how often people are visiting your site. This made me start to wonder, what am I doing with my social media accounts?

On my Instagram account I have 501 followers, I am following 772 accounts, and have posted 70 pictures. On average I get about 70-80 likes on each photo with me posting usually photos of my life. Recently though I am starting to get into photography, so I am wanting to post pictures with some of my better shots while out in the field.

My Twitter is a little weaker because I never used it until recently. I have 194 followers and I am following 293 accounts. I had Twitter for two years back in high school then deleted it, but then re-downloaded it freshman year at ONU. I usually don’t post anything unless it is some musical lyrics that really speak to me. Then of course the retweets and responses that I tweet to people. Mainly I use Twitter to laugh at something or see cute animals.

It is amazing to think that I am friends with almost 800 people, if you add both Twitter and Instagram followers and take out the doubles. Social media can bring people together from all over the world and therefore I love this type of media. It has its pros and cons, but at the end of the day it connects and helps us learn more about each other as human beings. That’s all I have to say about that, how is your social media measured?
