Thank You!

Friday, November 14 marks the end of my social media project. Friday, the final numbers will be tallied and the presentation handed in to my professor. Before I turn in the assignment, I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who helped and supported me throughout this project. I also wanted to let everyone know how some of my numbers are coming along.

I posted my first post to Fortitude, Grin & Grow on Wednesday, September 3.

Page Views:  Total number of pages viewed

• Personal Goal (September 3 - November 14):  4,000 or more page views
• September 3 - Morning of November 12:  3,404 page views

Pages Per Session:  Average number of pages viewed per session

• Personal Goal:  At least two or more per session, because it shows readers like the content and are engaged
• September 3 - Morning of November 12:  3.75 pages viewed per session

Bounce Rate:  People who only looked at one page. This is expressed as a percentage. The lower the percentage the better!

• Personal Goal:  10% or less, because the lower the number the higher the user engagement
• September 3 - Morning of November 12:  2.43%

Percentage New Sessions:  An estimate of the percentage of first time visits

• Personal Goal:  50 - 60% new visits show I am reaching new readers and capturing and retaining past readers
• September 3 - Morning of November 12:  59.87%

Geographic Goals:

• Personal Goal:  Readers in 50 states and at least 5 countries
• September 3 - Morning of November 12:  Readers in 46 states and 16 countries

I still have a little work to do in order to reach my personal and required goals - I still need 11 new LinkedIn connections and one LinkedIn recommendation. However, I am proud of the content I have created, the work I have done and the results I have received. Thank you so much to my family, old friends and new friends who have written guest posts and read, shared and commented on my posts. I appreciate your help more than you know.
