Who Will Amplify This, and Why? (and more great advice from Rand Fishkin)

I'm really benefiting from Rand Fishkin's recent posts (founder of Moz and now Sparktoro).

There's a little nugget in this particular one that I keep repeating almost like a mantra:

"In a marketing flywheel scenario, amplification comes first from engagement by your existing audience, and is then (potentially) boosted by algorithms on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google, etc. If a good engagement rate with, for example, an email newsletter is 20% and a good amplification rate (i.e. sharing of any kind by those who’ve engaged) is 2%, your 200 subscribers might yield 40 readers and 0 sharers. Keep going! Perhaps next week’s 40 readers will include 2 sharers that lead to 20 more subscribers, and your flywheel can turn a little faster."

For me, this was a vital insight at the moment I needed it because it's exactly where I am.

Say something nice to mizkirsten…
