Statistical Overview




The importance of statistics in business cannot be emphasized enough. When properly analyzed, data can spell the difference between success and failure of any business undertaking. The fact that I am social media marketing naive is probably the reason why I was so surprised that a simple blog post can generate quite a number of statistics. 

In the month or so that I have started my blog, I learned that my page has been viewed 131 times last month and a total of 143 times since I started it. I have garnered 7 followers from among my classmates and professor and been viewed mostly in the United States, and (surprise!) in the Ukraine. Of those who viewed my page, 62% used Chrome and 37% used Firefox, 75% used Windows OS and 25% used Linux. Below is a graphic representation of my blog's statistics:



My most recent blog, "The Science of Social Timing," received the most views from among my postings. The low number of views may be due to the fact that I have not been able to actively promote it by reaching out to people through my other social media accounts like Facebook and Twitter. I will try to be more engaged and engaging and will try to reach more people via other platforms. I will also try to follow more people and participate more actively in community exchanges.

    Hi! It's very interesting that you have viewers from Ukraine as well. In addition, I really like that you included a graphical representation of your blog stats. I also agree that actively promoting your posts would most likely help boosting views.

Summarizing my SMM class data

The term is coming to a close. For whatever it is worth, I can say that I definitely know more about social media and social media marketing than when I started this class in January. Back then my only social media exposure was Facebook. Now I am blogging, Tweeting and am finally on LinkedIn. Learning about these platforms is already a big stride for me. Then there is the matter of Social Media Marketing. This is a totally new world insofar as I am concerned. Blogging is an avenue that I could learn to be comfortable with. Since the class started, I have had 7 posts, this being the eighth. My page has been viewed a total of 209 times since I started it, with 98 views last month, mostly from the United States. It is interesting to note that I got over 60 views from different parts of the world, most of them countries where I don't even know anybody. This tells me how small the virtual world has become and how much more I could reach with a little more effort. Below is a summary ...

Online Communities - are they for me?

It is interesting to explore online communities or groups. I have always been wary about joining such groups, afraid of the unknown. Beyond my own little circle of friends, I have not participated in any online discussions. This week I had to look for a group that I could genuinely stand to gain from and to which I could contribute. At first I tried the groups on LinkedIn (another first for me this week) and I did put in requests to join two groups, one of which is a group for alumni of the university I graduated from. As of this time, I have not heard back from the administrators of the groups. So I tried to go around the instruction to join public groups versus closed ones - did not get me very far...yet. Maybe they will when they do respond to me. For purposes of compliance with SMM class requirement, I just jumped in and joined two very different groups: the first was Spark People, an online community that I have actually been following for a while, but mostly as a spectator ...

Learning from others

Learning about Social Media Marketing is a daunting task for somebody whose only exposure thus far has been Facebook. It is overwhelming enough to learn how to navigate different platforms, it is even more challenging to learn how to market myself. I was raised in a culture where talking about one's self can be viewed as distasteful if not downright tacky. I realize now that this is definitely from another era and if I hope to catch up, I will have to get out from under the rock I have been living in and embrace the 21st century means of communication, aka Social Media. I have decided to follow my classmates, professor, a physician who is very well known in her field, Starbucks and UC Riverside on Twitter. While the selection seems random and totally unconnected, I believe I have something to learn from each one of them. My classmates are definitely a good resource because I think they are more social media savvy and know what to say and how to say it. From them I hope to learn t...
