Introducing Social Media Measurement1:19
Welcome to the course, a little introduction from me, about me, and what we are going to achieve in this course. Great to have you onboard!
Social Media Analytics: Subscribers, Engagement, Reach, Velocity, Sentiment11:23
Getting started and the fundamental question: What do you NEED to measure in Social Media? Some people think that social media can't be measured. But the real problem is that you can measure so much, what SHOULD you measure? And what are the best tools?

Measurement theory - what to measure?

Subscribers vs Engagement vs Reach analytics.

Call To Action (click, download, buy, signup)

Reputation/Sentiment Velocity/Time

and ecosystem/apps.

Discussion: What is important to YOUR social media activity? Do you need to measure differently on Facebook than Twitter than Instagram? Let me know in the discussion area.

Measuring Likes and Followers and Subscribers on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram4:09
Starting fairly basically, how do you measure "circulation" - the number of people that connect with you (Subscribers)? If people Like your Facebook Page, follow you on Twitter or Instagram, connect with you on LinkedIn or circle you on Google Plus they are subscribing to you (like subscribing to an email newsletter but its on a social media platform). The most popular statistic question "how many people follow you on social media?" it is the first evaluation to perform. We call this "Owned Channel". PS You'll see in Engagement (a later lecture) that is "Earned Channel" and different analytics.

Discussion: how important is "circulation" to your organisation? Would you prefer more people saw your content or more people subscribed to your social media channels?

What is Engagement and How to Measure Engagement on Facebook & Twitter6:38
It's all very well to have, say, 10,000 Likes on your Facebook Page but are they liking and sharing and commenting on your content? And how do you measure engagement on your Facebook Page, Twitter account and so on?? Examining the analytics of actual Facebook and Twitter accounts (case studies), we can see social media Engagement as a factor of Likes (circulation or subscribers) vs Reach (actual receivers or readers).

Facebook Analytics and the various options for exploring Engagement

Twitter Analytics and Engagement

Discussion: Let me know how YOUR Engagement looks as a % of Likes in Discussion area ;) Are you getting the numbers you expect?

Reach - Can Actual Exposure and Reach be Measured on Facebook and Twitter?5:56
There are two types of reach on Facebook and Twitter and other social media platforms - "actual" and "possible". Just because someone has 100,000 followers on Twitter doesn't mean that they are reaching 100,000 people with every tweet. Sometimes someone with 100 followers can reach 100,000!

If all of YOUR Twitter followers were actually online, and if all THEIR followers were online all day you would reach a LOT Of people.

But of course, many of those friends of friends are not online so actual reach is only a small % of possible reach.

But if you get a lot of retweets, your 100 followers might reach 100,000 people with enough retweets!

In this lecture we look at social media tools for measuring both actual and possible reach.

Discussion: What % of your possible reach is the actual reach?

Measure Promotions: Call to Action and Signup/Download/Buy in Social Media8:49
Would you like to measure a social media call to action of "download this from my website" or "buy this" or "click here" or "play this video" or "please read my blog"? Do you want to know that if you put up a link or an offer on Facebook or Twitter, that people are clicking on that link and going to your website?

Tools that can be used to track links on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest etc

Hootsuite/Owly integration demonstration for Facebook and Twitter

Bitly tip for measurement of links on Facebook and Tweet.

Discussion: What call to actions would you like to measure on social media? Are you social media marketing (signup to emails, clicks to download ebooks) or social media sales (buy this product, discount coupon for that product)?

Reputation Measurement with Klout Scores on Social Media & Twitter Facebook etc6:40
Klout is a scoring system that gives everyone a reputation score whether they are using Klout or not (it's being used in job interviews and with social CRMS). Klout and reputation scoring systems look at how influential you are on social media. Also how influential your customers are - do you have a client who can tweet or blog "buy this" and lots of people pay attention?

Investigate Klout dashboard and scoring of social media people

Integrate Klout into social media campaigns

Measurement of Reputation online on Facebook and Twitter

Discussion: Do you think this quantification of a person's life is helpful? Did you know that banks sometimes use your "social graph" (how influential your network is on social media) to determine if you will get a mortgage? Worth investigating!

Social Media Sentiment: They Hate you or They Love You Measurement & Analytics4:23
We look at a range of sentiment/favourability tools that measure social media emotions online:

Start Small: Let's look at 3 or 4 basic social media sentiment tools - which one do you prefer?

Brand Ambassadors and "passion" measurement in social media

Big Tools: Integrating sentiment into Social CRMs (social media customer relationship management systems)

Discussion: Is "all Press good Press" or would a negative sentiment hurt your brand and purchasing decisions? How do YOU deal with nasty Facebook comments and Twitter trolls?

Velocity in Social Media - Facebook Virality and Twitter Trends9:32
How fast is your message getting out there? Did you get to 100,000 views of your YouTube video - but it took 48 hours rather than 2 years? Velocity is a unique to social media measurement (Traditional media has a short head and long tail, but social media has a J curve of velocity).

Impact of Boosting tweets and Facebook Ads on velocity
