Karmacracy, one of the best complements for blogs and social networks
Those who have a blog, a Facebook page or a Twitter account may have asked these questions:
How many visits come from one of my Tweets?
How many visitors arrive the first hour after I post a link on my Facebook page?
How to program a tweet just today to 10: 35 in the morning?
What country do I visit when posting a Linkedin link?
How to send a one-time notice to multiple Tweeter, Facebook and Linkedin accounts at the same time?
Just for these questions there is Karmacracy, an initiative of Hispanic entrepreneurs that aspires that we not only have activity in social networks, but also have fun.
At first it did not seem so interesting if I was only working on something that pressured to maintain an influence based on karma, but in my case solved some of my expectations such as:
Hours of greatest impact
Usually I write my articles at 11 at night, when my productive capacity is more efficient in terms of inventing without distractions other than TV in the background and soft Andean music on my mobile. But if I notice that the article has been published, the impact that I will have will be less because the users of America sleep and will see the announcement in the morning along with others that arrived after mine. Whereas if I publish it at 10 am the next day; time when the followers on this side of the pond are in their offices having a good coffee and those in Spain thinking about what to do with the rest of life that is still beginning, they will see the ad immediately and if it's worth it, they will surely go to the site.
So Karmacracy allows me to send a notice in an hour that I have tested I will have more visits immediately.
Multiple accounts at the same time and at scheduled times
Sometimes I find a news so interesting as to notify them by Twitter, but also by the Facebook account and the Linkedin account. They imagine having to enter each account to post it. So I can from my mobile decide to share it immediately (or deferred) in several accounts of my selection, simultaneously.
Now, if I find several interesting news, it is also not wise to announce them together or with too tight a time separation. In my case, when an account saturates me with 5 posts in less than an hour, I will end up not following it, not because it stops being interesting, but because it becomes too annoying. With Karmacracy I can decide that those three articles that I found will be posted at different times, for example one at 10 am, the other at 12:07, the next at 14:35 pm ... anyway, you can even schedule an article for in two months, like a Christmas greeting, or April Fool's Day.
Also Karmacracy has allowed me to leave my account active even though my trips inland leave me out of connection, and also to avoid entering from my work schedule.
Over time…
There are more things that come later, such as the prize system (nuts) in which it grows as activity is naturally maintained. From the most interesting to the most absurd.
You can know how many visits we have sent to a specific domain and that other users have also done so.
Position keywords, based on what we post the most. In my case I have in priority the words topography, gis, utm, geomatica, mundogeo in recent dates.
As an example, look at this notice that I sent about the GIS Lounge article, in total it received 79 clicks, although almost the total in the immediate minutes. 60% came from Twitter, 33% from Facebook, and as you can see, the content on social networks is like the news in the printed newspaper ... they have an immediate impact but then fall into the abyss of what is no longer new . It can be seen that the largest number of visits came from Spain and the United States, although it was posted at 18:42 p.m. Mexico time.
The detail can be had by country to know the impact of each one of the accounts that we have and the same one can know of accounts of others based on what they post.
In conclusion
Karmacracy seems to us to be one of the most interesting ventures from the Spanish-speaking environment, beyond a simple link shortener, its potential to keep social media accounts alive is really effective. One day I asked them what their business model was like, since it would be painful if one day it ceased to exist and the shortened links were broken, and they told me a little about how the idea of promoting sponsored links was going. I saw it far away, but once they released cADs I was convinced that the boys are quite clear about their ideas. To be honest, time has led me to have little taste for sponsored links, but its filter criteria is interesting because the option only reaches accounts that have specific words positioned, so that it does not get off the subject.
In short, one of the best complements for those who have an activity in social networks.
