How To Attract Engagement On Your Blog

Measuring engagement means working out exactly how many people actually interacted with each of your individual messages across your social media sites. This will produce a very clear indicator of exactly which types of posts your fans and followers like the most (and of course which ones they like the least). When a follower engages with a post it means that they actually care enough about it to do something with it. If your levels of engagement are low, then it is imperative that you do something about it and take a good look at how you might improve your content to increase this figure.
Engagement metrics include:
·    Clicks
·    Shares
·    Comments
·    Retweets, Mentions and Direct Messages on Twitter
·    Ratings on your YouTube videos
The built-in analytics on your social media sites will keep track of all of these metrics for you, or again you can look to third-party services to keep you up-to-date.

 

Don`t Get Stressed Out Trying To Succeed

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired: “How heavy is this glass of water?”
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stresses and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them a bit longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed – incapable of doing anything.”
It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses. As early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don’t carry them through the evening and into the night. Remember to put the glass down
