Me and Social Media (July 2018)

Social Media & Me - June/July 2018
June & July 2018’s Social Media activity targets results significantly under performed. The bullet pointed highlights are
  • Twitter targets were not reached in either month.
  • Blogger traffic fell rose a litter from May to June, but May’s impressions total was so low that June’s blog impression remained far below target. July’s total impressions declined slightly from the June total.
  • The other measure of influence -- how well I provide a platform for advertisers, I see that my life-long Adsense earnings to US$14.53.

Twitter

June 2018 began with 627 followers and July 2018 ended with 636 followers. At the end of July I was following 356 accounts. 23 tweets in June 2018 tweets generated 14.4K impressions. Coincidentally, 38 tweets in July 2018 produced the same number of impressions - 14.4K.
Tweet Categories

Japanese & Chinese Terminology Tweets

Several more vocabulary flashcards were created over the past 2 months. Their creation and tweeting did not appear to help generate more traffic to my blog posts.

The new flashcards are being used to build a November tweet list. Presently, I see that I will be able to have a November 1 to February 28 daily tweet series.
Instagram
The size of my Instagram following ended July 2018 with 2,385 followers. My feed averaged a little better of one photo a day. I’m seeing a longer term secular peak in the number of Instagram followers. After peaking just over 2,400 followers, my account has drifted above and below the 2,390 mark for the past two months.

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
  • Bonsai, brightly lit
  • Artsy bonsai photography
  • Long range grouping of bonsais; close range groupings are fine.
  • Statues
  • Furniture
I determine subject matter “Like” as what my followers regularly provide over 100+ likes for that content type.
YouTube
No videos were posted in June or July.

Ouch, that looks like bad, when my objective is “to have more views”.

For mid-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) STEM & 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
