Once you've created a presence for your business or organization on Facebook, Twitter, and other social platforms, you start to wonder - if we built it, will they come? Maybe so, and then again, it wouldn't hurt if you helped people out by letting them know in as many ways as possible. This presentation shares ten ways to build Likers (without advertising) on Facebook, ten almost-entirely-different ways to build Followers on Twitter, and wraps up by giving an overview on the topic of social media measurement. Likers and Followers are just one thing to measure, and this presentation shows what else should be considered for scrutiny. This is the third of three presentations presented by Lani & Allen Voivod of Epiphanies, Inc., for a "Bootcamp" workshop in a larger series presented by the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council (MWVEC), in partnership with Granite State College, Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH), the Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce, and Laconia Savings Bank.

Mark Twain“Figures often beguile me, particularly when I have the arranging of them myself; in which case the remark attributed to Disraeli would often apply with justice and force:

“'There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and statistics.’”

“‘There's no single standard [to measure social media] because the value must be defined by the organization's goals,’ said Jonathan Kopp, partner and director of Ketchum Digital.”

--Emily Glazer, for Dow Jones Newswires: Social Media Initiatives Drive Sales, Product Development, 7/27/10
