How Christabel_SMM got her groove…

I started the Supermodelme.tv and Christabel_SMM fan page to help Andrew Peters increase traffic to the supermodelme.tv site using Facebook.

I took this opportunity to volunteer my service as it gave me a chance to experience the advantages of Facebook fanpage over Facebook groups.

A lot can be learned from the last month of activities.

Fan growth is not immediate

Setting up a fanpage is fast and easy, but getting fans may take a longer process.

From this graph, you noticed that it took awhile for fans to join Christabel_SMM fanpage. The first week or so was quite slow with only 14 members. It took lots of interaction to increase the fan base.

I am still trying to determine twhat caused the spike of fans on June 18. Is it because the online show has started and many were trying to find out about Christabel?

As of writing this post, the number Christabel_SMM fans stands at 371 and this was after I threw out the challenge to fans to get more fans to join this fan page in order to beat the other contestants in fanpage standing.

Fanpage is about interaction and contribution

Interaction with the fans as the admin of the fanpage also help to increase the fan count.

One of the contestants, Evelyn_SMM was leading the fanpage race, but the lack of interaction between her admin and her fans resulted in comparative more fan growth then Christabel_SMM fanpage.

Reward your fans

I have been trying my best to get something from the organisers to reward the fans of Christabel_SMM but their responds have been very slow.

If you are looking to create a fanpage, reward your fans occasionally. You could run a simple contest or a short quiz to get the interaction going.

I hope that the organisers will be smart and quick enough to do something that to reward the fans as the fans deserve it for supporting Christabel_SMM.

Remember, the tipping point of a successful social media campaign  is about how you interact with your audience.

If you are thinking of just using social media to push content down, you are not going to get much success in the long run.

You may be popular and you might get quick and sudden spikes in fans, but most important is to keep your fans returning and aim for constant growth.

Hey great post laid out in a very understandable manner.
Your point about "long term goal" VS "short term goal" makes a lot more sense with this case study.

Will mrbrown's post on Mr Tan Kin Lian's thermometer app "misadventure" promote technology ageism?

I am not ashamed to say I support Mr Tan Kin Lian as a presidential candidate because I believed in what he stood for. And when Mr Tan posted his "misadventure" with a thermometer app, I did shake my head in disbelief that he did that. Source:   http://www.mrbrown.com/blog/2013/07/we-could-have-had-him-for-president.html Thinking twice, there could be a possibility that Mr Tan misunderstood how this app work. Most  thermometer app take data from various weather stations to display the temperature on it. Yes, the technology savvy will do a #facepalm when they read the post and mrbrown's post demonstrated it perfectly. Wrote mrbrown , "Maybe the former Presidential-hopeful didn't realize he needed to upgrade to the Pro version of the app. Then his iPhone would not only measure temperature, it would also measure current PSI (PM2.5 included), tell you if you are having your period, and cook instant noodles. Good thing he didn't try to measure boil

How UOB's Paper Trail Amplifies IT Greatest Security Threat

UOB required you to do everything on paper. If you want to change your mobile number for your banking account with them or for your credit card, you need to fill up a form. Yet, this paper trail represented a potential security fail for the bank - Human Error. So a bitcoin expert walked into UOB to open a bank account. The bank employee had to print a form from a online pdf document to fill in this bitcoin expert's particulars. When it came to entering the bitcoin expert's email, that's when the forgotten art of handwriting was the most obvious of the digital generation. Wrote Robert Capodieci, My name is Roberto Capodieci, as most of you know. and my email address is very obvious to decode. It is not a p4l_l337_s0u1@gmail.com, but it is a more obvious roberto@capodieci.com, thing that, right after reading my name in the same form, should come out easy. Still, a data entry personnel of the UOB bank (or of a service provider the UOB bank uses) entered it as roberto

NEL Train Fault Shouts Lack Of Crisis Communication

The North-East Line train fault of 11 April 2018 was my virgin experience of a rush hour train fault since I moved to Punggol. One would have thought that with the number of train faults experienced by the North-East Line operator, SBS Transit, they would have improved the communications and handling of train faults. However, my personal experience told another story. First, there were no announcements at the Punggol LRT stations of the train fault even though SBS Transit manages them. The train fault was reported as early as 7.10am as I had a friend who was also stuck in the train. I boarded the LRT at Coral Edge around 7.30am and I didn't hear of any announcement nor was there any signage to inform me o the train fault at Punggol Station. Second, the announcement kept saying that there would be a 15 minutes delay, but 15 minutes passed and the trains, on both side, wasn't moving. If the announcement would be more frank to say it will be a longer delay, commuters would
