Social Media & Me January 2016
On a number of hits quantifier January 2016 was a success. I got more tweet impressions during the month than any month ever. I got more visits to my blog than in any month ever. I gathered numerous new followers on Instagram.
With the three wins above, I see that my Adsense balance remained close to US$1 for the entire month.
Twitter
With 78 tweets in January 2016 I generated 16.6K impressions nearly, but not quite, double my previous highest number of monthly impressions. The months results were quite a surprise to me as I did not expect to have the first of my 2016 Twitter-goals of two 10K+ impressions/month in the first month of the year.
February is likely to see nearly as many impressions as January. I have already lined-up 20 days of Chinese or Japanese Tech, Telecom, Finance flashcards. I plan on trying to post a FinTech story each day during the month. I might need to find a third theme to help generate more impressions.
Instagram
My Instagram account added 84 followers to reach 422 follower on 31 January 2016.
I kept a pace of at least a picture posting a day. However, I did not post any flora content videos in the month, so I still have 24 to make for the year.
Sina Weibo
In January 2016 I posted twice to generated 601 views on the site.
YouTube
I had no additions to my YouTube channel in January, so I still need to do
24 flora-content driven videos based on images that first appear on Instagram
12 Telecommunications’ Industry related videos
12 East Asian Language videos composed of flashcard images seen on Twitter/Sina Weibo. These videos will use thematic flashcards -- such as software terms, balance sheet terms, hardware terms….
Blogger
My Blogger account saw 2,601 visits during January 2016! Like my January Twitter impressions, this is more in any one month than ever. Given that my 2016 goal was to have 2 months of 2K+ visits and January 2016 reached that goal, I have 11 months left to get a second 2K+-visit month to meet my target.
With February having 2 less days than January, I may need to wait until March to meet my 2016 Blogger visits goals
The point of it All
The point of all this social media activity is to raise my personal profile. At least one way to measure this would be to reach a Klout Score of 60 in 2016. At the start of the month my score stood at 57.06, I reached a high of 58.58, before slipping to end the month at 58.04.
