Happy new year! I hope everyone had a restful holiday and was able to log off of socials a little bit, too!
Even though January usually feels like such a long, dark, blah month, there are SO many fabulous, fun and important social media dates to post about. Your January strategy session shouldn't be too painful! 👌
BUT before we get into those dates, I thought we should chat about something that I find important as we enter a new year. Let's talk social media performance metrics. If you're going to go through all the work to create posts for socials, why not see how well you are doing?
Social Media Metrics You Should Be Tracking:
Reach - The number of unique accounts who have seen your post. Basically, how much traction are you getting from your posts.
Traffic - The amount of website clicks from the link(s) in your bio and Story sticker taps you have gotten. This is important to note because social media is a vehicle to get people to your site! So what's driving them to tap your links?
Shares - This indicates how many times another account shared your content. If it's being shared, that means it's resonating!
Saves - This is one of my faves and something I look for when sharing educational content. If your post/reel gets saved, that could mean someone wants to read/watch it again later. Such a nice feeling to know you've been saved for later!
There is more to checking up on your metrics than noting the likes or comments you receive on posts.
Alright, let's get into January posting ideas!
