Deep dives
Social Media ROAS Analysis: X Has the Highest Return on Ad Spend
In a study analyzing the return on ad spend (ROAS) of various social media platforms, X emerged as the platform with the highest ROAS over the last 30 days. However, it's important to note that this doesn't necessarily translate to the highest revenue generation, as other platforms like Facebook have a larger user base. The analysis was based on a substantial data set, including client accounts managed by agency NP Digital and aggregated analytics from over a million websites. Elon Musk retweeted the study, which garnered significant attention with over 8 million views so far, but it remains to be seen whether it will have a tangible impact on analytics and lead generation.
The Value of Consistency and Niche Content for Organic Reach
The podcast hosts discuss the importance of consistency and niche content in social media marketing. They emphasize that going viral does not always translate to increased revenue, citing examples like Mr. Beast's videos, which require large budgets but don't necessarily generate high revenue per view. On the other hand, content that targets a specific audience, such as B2B content, may not attract as many views but can generate more qualified leads. The hosts highlight the significance of quality over quantity, focusing on capturing the attention of the right audience and delivering value to them.
The Misconception of Virality and Revenue Generation
The hosts challenge the misconception that going viral equates to higher revenue. They emphasize that while viral content may attract views and followers, it does not always result in substantial monetary returns. They discuss personal examples, such as a Twitter post with 82,000 views that generated only two qualified leads, compared to an Instagram post with 394,000 views that did not result in qualified leads. They stress the importance of aligning content with revenue goals and focusing on quality over quantity when it comes to generating revenue from social media efforts.
