INSTAGRAM How to Measure Each Instagram Follower's Value? Favr Town · 2023/10/05 Here is an answer from chatGPT:"Measuring the value of each follower can be challenging and depends on several factors, including their engagement with your content, their purchasing behavior, and their potential for generating brand awareness or word-of-mouth referrals. Here are a few ways to begin measuring the value of your followers:Engagement rate: Track how often your follower engage with your content, such as liking, commenting, or sharing your posts. The higher the engagement rate, the more valuable your follower may be in terms of generating interest and awareness for your brand.Conversion rate: Monitor how many of your followers actually convert into customers or make a purchase. This can give you an idea of how valuable each follower is in terms of generating sales.Influence: Consider the potential for each follower to influence others, such as their friends and family, to become customers or followers of your brand. This can be difficult to quantify but can be an important factor in determining the value of your followers."It all sounds logical. The problem is, how do you execute it? For example, where can you find the number of likes a follower has given you on Instagram? The answer is, nowhere. The same answer goes for all other parameters. You can't get the number of shares and sales a follower has made. It's almost impossible to calculate each follower's value on Instagram, Facebook, or most other social media platforms.Then comes the question: how important is it to measure each follower's value? The answer is, it depends on how much you'd like to get out of your followers. No differentiation, no maximization, as evidenced by different pay scales in the workforce. If you aspire to maximize the output from your followers, you'll need to match the reward with the contribution. Otherwise, you'll need to accept the fact that the number of followers doesn't always translate into sales.If maximizing the benefit of your social following is your interest, favr.town can help you accomplish that. In favr.town, rewards match with contributions. That's how successful businesses are built. That's how rewarding relationships are made. - In favr.town, this post is archived under FACEBOOK, FOLLOWER_WORTH, INSTAGRAM, REWARD and SOCIALMEDIA.
SOCIALMEDIA How Long Will You Keep Winking . . . If She Never Looks Back At You A loyalty program is just like dating Favr Town · 2023/10/05 That's how I feel as an Instagram follower - keep winking with all the likes or flirts "Yummm!", "That looks so good!!" or emojis, but never getting a glance back from those I'm following. Yes I know, they are busy businesses, big brands, and famous celebrities - people much more important and taller than me. There is no better place than social media to make me feel more trivial.After a period of self-pity and resentment, I developed a self-defense mechanism. First, they are not getting more than a cheap flirt from me. No purchases. No "Go Fund Me" donations. No sharing their posts with friends (why would I want to spread my sourness around?).Second, I use it for my own free entertainment. It's like the monkey in the zoo situation. Between the monkey and the human, who is entertaining who? That makes me feel taller, maybe even on the same level as those at the center of the stage.Third, I feel superior because I'm in the dark watching while they perform in the light. I know everything about them but they don't know anything about me. I'm the one who holds all the cards due to the information asymmetry.Last but not least, I don't get attached. They moment they try to monetize from me, like representing some third-party products, I stop sending likes. When their performance loses novelty, I cut ties and switch to someone else.Thanks to my defense mechanism, I like social media and myself again. It's a perfect dating market for no-strings-attached relationships. Once the music stops, we all go back to our own homes. No obligations. Not even an afterthought.So the answer is, I'll keep winking as long as the performance keeps going for free. After all, I'm not the mouse trapped in a wheel like the performer, tirelessly churning out content on social media.I'm very worried though, that one day a performer will recognize me and call me by name. That would be disastrous for my wallet. - In favr.town, this post is archived under DISLOYAL, NO-STRINGS-ATTACHED and SOCIALMEDIA.
