>3.5 BILLION PIECES OF CONTENT
ARE SHARED / WEEK
How can we make sense of all this?
BUT IS CALCULATING
SOCIAL MEDIA ROI
EVEN POSSIBLE?
Skeptics think social media is too “fluffy” to
adequately measure return on investment (ROI)
Would you calculate the ROI of a phone?
Would you calculate the ROI of your mom?
Would you calculate ROI of your pants?

THERE CAN BE
AN ROI OF
ANYTHING
THAT PROVIDES
And there is an ROI
VALUE
of your mom, a phone
and wearing pants

Editor's Notes
That’s because it’s only going to get more digital. The pace isn’t slowing down—it’s accelerating.Here’s one example how: More video has been uploaded to YouTube in the last 2 months than if ABC, NBC and CBS had been airing new content 24/7/365 since 1948; the date, by the way, when ABC first started beaming its signal into American households.But wait. That’s just the way many think about digital today—in terms of the “desktop.” What’s just around the corner is yet another sea change: the Web that’s not dominated by mobile. Reports now estimate that “mobile will take over the Web as soon as 2014”—in just 4 years. When they predict it will be 2x the size of the desktop Internet. How? The continued adoption of 3G and smart phones is a big reason. So is the unquenchable demand for the iPhone, iTouch, iTunes, and now iPad ecosystem of digital consumer content.
Each visualization is made up of a series of branches, starting from George. As each branch grows, re-shares split off onto their own arcs.Sometimes, these re-shares spawn a new generation of re-shares, and sometimes they explode in short-lived bursts of activity.The two different colors show gender, and each successive generation becomes lighter as time goes by. And the curves are just for snazz.http://www.facebookstories.com/stories/2200/data-visualization-photo-sharing-explosions
You might have heard that social media ROI can’t be calculated, but you can track things. Or that the ROI of social media is that you will be in business in 5 years, Or why would you calculate the ROI of social media, would you calculate the value of putting your pants on in the morning or of your mom. People who tend to say this are the early adopters and innovators and I think because they inherently get that there is value to social media…And while some of these statements might make you chuckle and others might seem like they are true, they don’t really help you in a business meeting with peers and executives who want real business answers. So how do you speak intelligently about a field where people are comparing the ROI of wearing pants to the ROI of social media?This and more are part of the challenges of this topic
And the truth is… there IS ROI to anything that provides value…Meaning that because your mom provides value to your life, there is an ROIbecause there are benefits to having a phone and wearing your pants… there is an ROI…I love this infographic… its kinda poking fun at this whole conversation and I really appreciate that…Math with humor is more fun!
