1 Define your objectives

Before you launch any social media outreach campaign, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish and how you will measure your success. Do you want to increase your brand awareness, generate leads, drive traffic, or foster loyalty? Do you have specific numbers or targets to reach, such as followers, likes, shares, comments, or clicks? Having SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) objectives will help you focus your efforts and align them with your overall community outreach goals.

Beginning with the end in mind is such a critical step that many people tend to overlook. Like anything else in life, “if you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail”. You won’t know where you’re going if you don’t have some sort of plan in place or an idea of where you want to go. If you don’t know where to start, start with what you love/enjoy. But don’t just worry about the size of your following. Numbers have a way of stroking our egos and playing a trick on our minds. Take care of the community you’re building (especially the first few consistent ones). If you can take care of a few extremely well, you’ll be able to do the same for more that will come.

See the Degrees of Connection of the Comments and Reactions One way I know that my content is creating impact and getting reach, is when people in the 2nd & 3rd degree in my #LinkedIn network comment and react to it. It tells me that it's crossing barriers and going beyond my immediate expectations.

2 Choose your metrics

Once you have established your objectives, you must select the metrics that will help you monitor your progress and assess your performance. Metrics are the numerical indicators that demonstrate how successful you are on your social media platforms. Depending on your objectives, you may want to focus on different types of metrics, such as reach, engagement, conversion, retention, and advocacy. Reach is the amount of people who view your posts or stories, engagement is the amount of people who interact with your posts or stories, such as likes, comments, shares, or reactions, conversion is the amount of people who take a desired action after seeing your posts or stories, such as signing up, donating, or buying, retention is the amount of people who remain connected with your organization and follow your posts or stories regularly, and advocacy is the amount of people who recommend your organization to others or share your content with their networks.

3 Use the right tools

To accurately measure your metrics, you must use the appropriate tools to collect and analyze data from your social media platforms. There are a variety of tools, both free and paid, that can assist you in monitoring and evaluating your social media outreach campaigns. Popular and useful tools include native analytics, such as Facebook Insights, Twitter Analytics, Instagram Insights, or LinkedIn Analytics, as well as third-party tools like Hootsuite, Buffer, Sprout Social, or Socialbakers. Additionally, Google Analytics is a web analytics service that can help you track and measure website traffic and conversions from your social media sources, such as referrals, campaigns, or landing pages.

4 Analyze and improve

Analyzing the data from your social media outreach campaigns is the final step in measuring their success. Compare your results to your objectives to determine if you are meeting or exceeding expectations. Identify what is working well and what is not, and the factors that influence your performance, such as content, timing, frequency, or audience. Make adjustments and optimizations to your campaigns based on your analysis, such as experimenting with different types of content, such as images, videos, stories, or live streams; testing different times and days to post, depending on when your audience is most active and responsive; increasing or decreasing your posting frequency, depending on how often your audience wants to hear from you; segmenting and targeting your audience, depending on their interests, preferences, or behaviors; and encouraging and rewarding your audience, such as asking questions, responding to comments, or offering incentives.

In my experience, data has been so valuable when it comes to growing my audience/followers. Data will tell you what is resonating with your audience/community. When you have a clear understanding of what they like, you can produce more it. And the same goes for the opposite. If you find that things aren’t working well, then you can stop posting those things.
