Return on Investment
First, have a goal (see: The Plan)
Use tools to monitor success:
Google analytics
URL shorteners that track usage (bit.ly, goo.gl)
Facebook pages monitor usage
Many new tools for monitoring social media usage
![Page 47: Social Media Goes to College](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042714/555320c5b4c90575768b4d93/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
You are not in control

When to Bail
It will take time
This is an enhancement, not a replacement
Don’t look at the number of people, look at the quality of connections
You’re using it whether you like it or not
