On Reblogs vs. Likes/Comments vs. Hits From a Business and Marketing Perspective
I see people complaining a lot that their art or stories aren’t getting enough attention because they have x notes and only 20% of them are reblogs (on Ao3, replace “notes” with “hits” and “reblogs” with “comments”). For instance, 150 total notes, but only 30 reblogs.
Here’s the thing: from a business marketing standpoint? That’s fantastically high. (Source: I have a business degree and took lots of marketing classes.)
A successful marketing campaign–a poster, a video, anything–is considered successful when it hits 5% interaction. When five percent of the people who see it share it or act on it. FIVE PERCENT. And that’s with paid ads to target it.
Anything above five percent? Congrats. You’re literally doing better than actual professional marketing agencies with none of the resources.
I know it’s disheartening. But very, very rarely are things shared that much. If a marketing video gets that kind of ratio, it’s an unparalleled success. So for you to get even 6% 10%? 15%? 20%?
If you saw an opportunity to help 3 of your closest friends and family earn $600 a month, and create a $7k yearly income stream, would that fire you up?

It was on this day, for the first time in my 23 years of living I was actually feeling myself.
Finally i looked good, felt good; emotionally, spiritually and of course physically. Wasn’t sure if it was one of my closest friends wedding or because I was wearing a 3 piece suit or maybe because it was the spicey wings that brought that feeling out… but I loved it.
Hope to God I get blessings on blessings this year and more of those feelings.
