Me & Social Media - January 2018

Social Media & Me - January 2018
January 2018’s Social Media activity targets were better than many recent months.
The bullet pointed highlights are
  • Twitter target hit
  • Blogger target missed by 0.001%.
  • Klout score dropped

The other measure of influence -- how well I provide a platform for advertisers, I see that my life-long Adsense earnings increased by 10¢ to US$13.05. So, there is one positive result for the month.

Twitter
January 2018 began with 597 followers and ended with 603 followers. At month end I was following 343 accounts. 94 tweets in January 2018 tweets generated 21.6K impressions.

Japanese & Chinese Terminology Tweets

T

he 6th wave of daily vocabulary card tweets began on 2 December 2017 and continues through to 2 March 2018. New material will be added to the end of the wave for the purpose of extending the duration of the wave and continued twitter & blogger traffic. The first month of this does seem to drive traffic to the blog posts cited with the tweet.

The tweets of pre-existing materials are scheduled to repeat in 2018, 2019, and 2020. New 2018 material will repeat in 2018-2022.

Instagram

The size of my Instagram following ended January 2018 with 2,380.  My feed had least 3 posts every 2 days over the month. Based on low like numbers, I have found my Instagram followers do not have interests with statues.
What my Instagram Audience Likes
Likes
Not as well liked
  1. Bonsai, brightly lit
  1. Artsy bonsai photography
  2. Long range grouping of bonsais; close range groupings are fine.
  3. Statues
I determine subject matter “Like” as what my followers regularly provide over 100+ likes for that content type.

For early 2018 I have a several ideas for Special Issues to add to my regular monthly language postings.


2017 Top 10 most frequently appearing characters in the main vocabulary.


Cumulative 2017 Tech, telecom, culture corner, & finance terms. That’s 8 Special Issues on these 4 sub-topics. 4 topics X 2 languages = 8 Special Issues


Special subtopic editions such as (i) Industry names in Chinese, (ii) software terms, (iii) chemicals, (iv) banking terms, (v) stocks, (vi) central banker terms -- a catch all for finance terms.


Each of these Special Editions would be accompanied by a listing of all the year’s TTFM posts
The point of it All


The point of all this social media activity is to raise my professional profile. My 2018 target is a Klout Score of 60+. My Klout score dropped to 53.44 at the end of January from 55.53 on 30 December 2017.





In what I still find odd is that my Kred score, a second social media influence measurement too, continued to increased in January 2017 to 705/6

2018 KPI Targets

Goals

Grow Twitter followers to 700 while increasing the ratio of Followers-to-Following from 1.8.

Continue the 1 or more Instagram posts/day. Along with the Non-KPI of hitting 2K followers on Instagram during 2017. To reach such a goal around 2 accounts/day would need to follow me.

Reach a Klout score of 60 during 2018. A non-KPI is to track my kred score along with the Klout score and what the correlation.
