Social Media & Me June 2016
Using a number of hits as a quantifier June 2016 was moderately successful.
- I exceeded my target of Twitter impression target for the 6th straight month, which means I now meet my revised upward year goal of having 6 months of 10K+ tweet impressions.
- June was the 6th straight month of 2K+ views to my blog.
- My Klout score reached my 2016 targeted value of exceeding 60.
With the three above wins above, I see that my life-long Adsense earnings have grown to US$3.30. That’s 98 cents of earnings for the month.
During June 2016 I had my first 2,000+ impression day. For the month 23.5K impressions of my tweets were served up by Twitter.
My revised upward goal 10K+ tweet impressions for 6 of 12 months has been reached. So, it’s time to revised the goal for a second time this year. My second lowest monthly impression for 2016 so far was 16.5K impressions in April. So, my goal is to have all remaining months of 2016 reach 16.5K impressions.
June began with 291 followers on Twitter and ended with 330 followers.
Tweet Categories
Japanese & Chinese Terminology Tweets
My third wave of vocabulary tweets is presently set to begin 4 September 2016. The 3rd wave consists of new content and content new during the second wave of tweets. Creation of new content will move the date forward.
A fourth wave begins 31 December 2016 using new and all previous content.This should provide a daily stream of tweets that would last at least 90 days.
Fintech Tweets
I’ve begun to curate content on FinTech through my Twitter feed with an attempt for regular postings at 6:06 AM US Central Time and 10:06 US Central Time. The 6-minutes after the hour strategy is meant to place my tweets above the mass scheduled tweet times of on-the-hour.
Retweet Strategy
A very successful strategy in gaining greater engagement on Twitter has been to retweet my tweets about 36 hours later. The audience at the different times are different and sometimes I find greater engagement with the retweet than with the original tweet.

The point of it All
The point of all this social media activity is to raise my professional profile. My 2016 social media goal of reaching a Klout Score of 60 was reached on 8 June as my score jumped from 59.99 to 60.06. The score declined to 60.23 to end the month after reaching a 60.37 high.
During June I recognized a new measureable way of checking how my Social Media feeds might raise my professional profile. The creation of compressed URLs that lead to my LinkedIn profile have been posted on my Instagram and Twitter profiles. In this manner, I can track the number of visits to my LinkedIn profile originating from my Tweets and to Instagram profiles.
