I thought I’d share some insights on two particular questions that I ask myself when building social media and general marketing campaigns.
- Will this produce the right type of engagement I seek or is this just for a short term dopamine release to bump my numbers?
- Will this campaign attract the type of personas I want as part of my audience/community?
I find that by asking myself these questions, it keeps me accountable to not only the why of what I’m trying to accomplish but also maintaining the results that I actually want for my work.
Thus, not seeking what I would describe as short term gratification and investing in vanity metrics.
In deploying these questions, they enable me to:
1/ Looking at why I am doing this?
2/ Will I achieve the results I actually need?
This helps me focus on the long term, consider the quality of the connection I want to make with an audience and not seek that instant gratification that could do more harm than good to my intended goal.
