Measure

Review social performance monthly without obsessing over daily vanity stats.
Updated 1mo ago
Vanity vs Useful Metrics

Measure

Measurement should answer what to do next month — not provide hourly emotional roller coasters.

Measurement philosophy

  • Monthly rhythm beats daily checking
  • Useful metrics tie to discovery, trust, or conversation
  • Qualitative notes capture what dashboards miss
  • Patience is a strategy — see When to Change Nothing

What this section covers

Page
Purpose
[Vanity vs Useful Metrics](/measure/vanity-vs-useful-metrics)Pick numbers that matter
[Monthly Review](/measure/monthly-review)20-minute ritual
[When to Change Nothing](/measure/when-to-change-nothing)Avoid panic pivots
[Feedback Loops](/measure/feedback-loops)Turn data into posts

Minimum analytics stack

  • Platform native insights (free)
  • Bio link clicks with UTM in site analytics
  • Spreadsheet or Monthly Review Sheet
  • One CRM column: "source = social"
No expensive tools required at MVP stage.

What to ignore

  • Hourly follower deltas
  • Competitor vanity screenshots
  • "Shadowban" myths without evidence
  • Third-party "influence scores"

Review calendar

Block third Friday monthly, 20 minutes. Same slot reduces avoidance.
If a metric does not change a decision, stop tracking it.
