Here’s Why Social Network Health Is More Important Than Size
For far too long, many marketers have seen social network size as one of their primary KPIs. The reasoning is that the larger the network, the more people you’re reaching with your message. Hopefully that then translates into more page views and more sales from social. While this may sound reasonable, it’s rarely true. Here’s why.

If things drop, they assume something is seriously wrong. Should you see a drop in your social following, it’s not a time to panic. It’s time to figure out if it matters.
