- http://blog.kissmetrics.com/more-likes-on-facebook/?wide=1Over the past few years, thereās been a shift toward more visual content. Facebook fans were ignoring most link posts and going right for image or video posts, so many social media managers responded by focusing more on entertaining visual content to keep engagement up.To combat the high amount of low-value visual content being published and push more valuable news feed content, Facebook now previews larger images for link posts. This has helped boost engagement for link posts while making it easier for managers to drive more traffic from the network to their websites and blogs.While the new format levels the playing field for all post types, itās extremely important toĀ base your strategy on whatĀ yourĀ fans prefer.Plus, here are 5 tips for measuring and improving the performance of your Facebook posts:ā Test the TIMING & DAY of your posts -- check the peak times that your fans are online and be sure to post within 30 minutes. The author of the SME article recommends posting just prior to those peak times to ensure the post already has some engagement before the majority of fans are online. Also, keep an eye on the peak days of the week when your fans are most active on the site. You may want to post your most important posts on the days with most activity.ā” Test the post FREQUENCY -- for a good majority of Facebook Pages, 1 or 2 posts per day is sufficient. However, there can be a huge range. Some passion pages post as much as several times an hour. Keep in mind that Facebook recently lowered the organic (free) reach again, so if your previous post volume got more activity, you might experiment with changing that frequency (e.g. increase from 1-2 to 3-5). Check your post insights regularly and see if an increase or decrease in post frequency makes a difference in reach, engagement and clickthroughs.ā¢ Test the post LENGTH -- many studies over the years show that Facebook users prefer short posts, about the length of a tweet or just over (approx 160 characters). However, again, just like post frequency, it can vary greatly from page to page. Lots of pages keep the narrative short and sweet and it works well. I like to mix it up. This post is long (blog post length!). I find that it's often way easier and more efficient to compose an educational Facebook post than it is to write a blog post. I'm planning on changing that up in 2014 with much more emphasis on blogging and guest blogging! But, the point is, I know my audience is totally okay with me posting these longer posts on Facebook. So, test it out on your fans -- if you only write super short posts, try expanding it a bit now and then and adding more content.ā£ Test the POST TYPES -- experiment with post types (text status updates, photo posts, link posts, video posts, events, offers, milestones, cover image changes) and regularly review which ones do well with your audience. Keep in mind that one of the many factors in Facebook's News Feed Ranking Algorithm (aka 'Edgerank') is that a user will see more of the post type that he/she interacts with most. In other words, for fans who tend to like/comment/share photo posts, they'll see more of that type in their news feed. Whereas, fans that interact with link posts, for example, will see more link posts. This is why we have to continually mix it up and keep testing.ā¤ Test the CONTENT of your posts -- ideally, your page/business is known for one key focus. What problem are you the solution to? What can your Facebook fans consistently rely upon you to provide for them? Share your own contentāmixed with 'OPC', other people's contentāthat adds value and provides a level of quality education around your key area of focus. Broaden your topic range, but still stay on track with your area of focus about 90% of the time. Then, periodically mix it up with something fun, off-topic, entertaining, humorous, or thought-provoking. Try fill-in-the-blanks, questions/polls, caption-this, etc. (Of course, if the focus of your page is lighthearted and humorous, then perhaps periodically throw in something a bit more serious &/or personal!).com/more-likes-on-facebook/
- Watch the āPeople Talking About Thisā Metric:Ā The People Talking About This number is publicly displayed on the left sidebar under the number of Likes. This figure is a good top line indicator of whether you are, in fact, engaging your Alumni. Ā Ā You want to watch the number and how it is trending. Ā For an accurate picture, take the People Talking About This number and divide it by the total number of fans. Healthy pages have percentages between 1% and 5% (or more for great interaction). Ā The PTAT metricĀ Ā Ā includes all the following activities that happen on your page over a one-week rolling period:Liking a pagePosting to a pageās wallLiking, commenting on or sharing a page post (or other content on a page, like photos, videos or albums)Answering a question postedRSVPing to an eventMentioning a page in a postPhototagging a pageLiking or sharing a check-in dealChecking in at a place (if your page has a place merged with it)- See more at: http://www.bethkanter.org/engagement-fb/#sthash.W9GlEWxj.dpuf

- Other tips for academic internships include: Clarify Internship Goals: Ā Ā Students will have specific learning goals for their internship on one hand and nonprofits that are supervising them might have others. Ā Therefore, it is important for the student to initiate the conversation about what the internship does or does not include and share any specific learning goals at the start of the internship. Set Regular Meeting Time with Your Supervisor: The host organization will assign someone to supervise the student. Ā The student should ask to set up a regular meeting time. Ā This way can avoid popping into the supervisorās office or feeling that the supervisor wonāt talk to them because they are too busy. Ā A regular standing meeting once a week for 30 minutes will avoid frustrations. Ā Also, the student may need more frequent meetings in the beginning. āUnderstand the Office Norms:Ā Some organizations have different cultural ques when comes to use of technology. Ā For example, some might frown at taking a personal cell call at your desk and view it as unprofessional, while others might find this perfectly acceptable. Ā Ā The same goes for dress codes. Ā In the work place, in office people dress in business casual or formal business attire. Ā Ā Coming to work in t-shirt and jeans may not be appropriate. Ā Observe the dress code.Get To Know People:Ā Spend time getting to know other people that work for the organization with brief break room conversations or having lunch, dinner, or coffee. Ā Find a few staffers that you want to shadow or learn from and develop a professional relationship.Participate:Ā Donāt feel confined by written learning objectives. Ā As long as you are accomplishing your goals, you may also want to ask about attending other meetings both inside and outside the office. Ā There is so much learn from observing andĀ understanding organizational culture, interactions, power dynamics, leadership practices, and team work.BuildRelationships:Ā The internship is not just about getting work experience. Ā It is a great networking opportunity. Ā Building relationships at the organization can help you beyond your internships.Thereās No Such Thing As A Stupid Question:Ā Students should not be afraid to ask questions. Ā Sometimes we feel that asking a question makes us look stupid. Ā It is the opposite, it makes you seem curious and an engaged learner, not a sign of inability. Ā Ā But be careful how often you interrupt your supervisor to ask questions. Ā Sometimes it helpful to keep a log and ask them during your regular meeting.Donāt Be Afraid To Try New Things:Ā Your internship is a great laboratory for learning new skills and ideas. Ā Just because the task isnāt specifically related to your degree, it might open up your world.Take Pride In Your Work:Ā Make the little stuff count, like managing your time, checking your work, and being respectful of others.Attitudes Matter:Ā Come to your internship with a can-do attitude and be flexible. Ā Ā Ā Donāt feel that certain tasks or work is beneath you. Ā Be professional, communicate clearly, show up on time, ask questions when you donāt understand, and be proactive about volunteering for new tasks. Ā Ā Think of your internship as an extended job interview. Ā Ā Also, if the internship isnāt the right fit, it is temporary. Ā It might be a good chance to network. Ā And in the end, if discover that working a particular type of organization, team, or task isnāt what you want, thatās a gift.-

- This course will be graded as pass/fail. To receive a passing grade, you must attend all class meetings, and complete and deliver the assignments on time and in an acceptable form. The pre-assignment of the rubric and online assessment described below is required. To complete the course, students will submit a final report that will be shared with their host organizations identifying their recommendations for the organizationās social media strategy. Ā Participation does not equal attendance, but is a notable contribution to class discussions and exercises beyond mere physical presence in the classroom. Last, the grading is pass/fail for this course.Ā As long as they post their bets effort for the assignment (e.g. a set of recommendations for making better use of SM to facilitate host organizationās mission/goal, drawing from all the assignments they did during the class) Ā by Jan. 25thĀ they could get a pass.Ā You could check with the students if 4 days would be sufficient.Ā Ā Longer than that may lead to them forgetting what they have learned.
