A First Glance at Decoding Analytics
Ruthie
So, Amber, you had some questions that you were asking in one of our Zoom calls about decoding Instagram analytics. Your question was, "How do I use analytics to develop awareness of my podcast, and then drive that traffic to the podcast and convert them to listeners?" Let's talk about that! So, you can use and study your analytics in a lot of different ways and let me tell you, there are so many analytics. Which brings me to an important point: If you're listening to this, be sure you have a Business Instagram account, because that's going to be the key to giving you all kinds of Instagram analytics.
Amber
I'm really just curious about how to use Instagram analytics when it comes to what time I post, and should I pay attention to the age of the people looking at my posts? I'm also wondering, how do I really track that to help me with my future posts?
Ruthie
OK, so you can look in your Insights to view the top posts, top videos, top days, and your impressions, account visits, and things like that!
Here's how: Go to Insights, found underneath your follower count. The first thing you see when in analytics is "overview," and then below that you can review Accounts Reached, Content Interaction, and Total Followers.
