This editable selection includes sets of colored, filled, flat and outlined styles available for personal and commercial use. Available in the following formats: svg, ai, png, jpg, sketch and psd.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, <i>experimentation<\/i> can sound a bit intimidating. I know because I\u2019ve worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs who feel that \u201csocial media tests\u201d are some obscure tactics only data scientists can handle. Nothing could be farther from the truth.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-element content-element\">\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4375 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/modeltheme.com\/mt_konsulting\/wp-content\/uploads_dummy_data\/2016\/03\/ui-icons-filled-awwwards.png\" alt=\"ui-icons-filled-awwwards\" width=\"941\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Given the right tools, and having adopted the right mindset, I strongly believe that anyone can manage a lean social media testing program. I\u2019m writing this article to share seven simple tests that you can run today. But before we begin testing, you need to lay out some metrics to input your data in for analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Microinteractions are such a fundamental part of website design these days, that any site without them will probably look boring and bland. We like to think of them as the magic components that add delight, create surprise, and offer something entertaining and engaging.<\/p>\n<p>However, creating fabulous microinteraction design isn&#8217;t always easy. You&#8217;ve got to create something practical which makes the user&#8217;s life easier. It needs to be intuitive, human and responsive.<\/p>\n<p>In short, if you haven&#8217;t got microinteraction design mastered by now&#8230; you really need to get on it pronto! To make sure your test results are as clear and informative as possible, decide which metrics matter for the changes you are trying to provoke.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if your main social media goal is to increase shares, prioritize metrics like shares, retweets, and repins.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"section-title section-title-default \" style=\"text-align: left;\">Setup Your Metrics for Documentation<\/h2>\n<div class=\"text-element content-element\">\n<p>To make sure your test results are as clear and informative as possible, decide which metrics matter for the changes you are trying to provoke. For example, if your main social media goal is to increase shares, prioritize metrics like shares, retweets, and repins. That being said, for each of the following test ideas, I\u2019ll be sharing two alternative social media post versions that you can try. When you think about these different versions, here\u2019s a handy format to collect data:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4374 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/modeltheme.com\/mt_konsulting\/wp-content\/uploads_dummy_data\/2016\/03\/interface-icons-freebie-awwwards-transparent.png\" alt=\"interface-icons-freebie-awwwards-transparent\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They quote a 2009 study from Georgia Tech where over 1 million Pinterest graphics were evaluated to determine which colors were related with the most shared pins. Researchers concluded that red, purple and pink promote sharing, while green, black, blue and yellow all stop people from sharing. Considering that fonts can also play an instrumental role in how social media graphics are shared, launch two posts where the only difference is the font used to communicate the message.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trying to catch up with every new social network?
