The best in social media are the people that don’t ever get comfortable with what they’re doing in the moment.

The only way we know if we’re successful or not is by watching the numbers change for better or worse. I really liked this infographic about how to set up and use social media metrics as a driving force behind your overall strategy. It offers a simple 5 step process for measuring results that applies nicely to almost to any business trying to figure out where their social strategy stands and where it’s trending.
