We've just put together some of our latest stats as we're coming to the end of August which I think some of you will find very interesting.
Please remember, our site http://TwitJobs.co.uk only launched on March 16 2009, and as we approach our 6th Month anniversary this is great news!
This past week we hit the 40,000 follower mark on Twitter. We have 13 profiles on Twitter now and cover things like @TwitJobs_Sales @TwitJobsMarktng etc - We also now have over 2,500 friends and followers on Linkedin, Facebook, Mashable, Friendfeed and 4 other social networks. This makes a grand total of 42,500 friends and followers that we distrubute jobs and career advice to ever single day of the week.
Not bad. Well, to me the truely amazing stats are yet to come..
This chart was taken from a free tool called Twitter Analyzer which does what is says on the tin by analising elements of your twitter account. One of the great aspects of this is being able to see accounts that actually achieve RT's (Re-Tweets. Re-Tweets are a Re-Broadcast of your message, and therefore shared amongst other people and their followers).
From this chart between the end of July 2009 and August 24th 2009 you can see our average RT 'value' if you like is around 15 over each day. Now bear in mind that if each of the 15 RT's happening per day each have 100 followers, you can quickly see how the 42,000 followers we now have is actually a potential of many many 1,000's more.
Keeping in line with the stats for this month TwitJobs is now in the top 20 Twitter profiles in the UK. (stats via Twitterholic) YES! - The top 20 top Twitter profiles in the UK - sitting at number 16.
If you think about all the celebrities profiles and things like the Guardian and BBC - it's incredible that from ZERO 5 months ago, we are now one of the most used social media sites around, and one of the most trusted and respected ALREADY.
Theres a number of things that I think of that got us to this point. Honesty. Transparency. Privacy and Common Sense!
Lets face it some job sites are a little old hat in the UK - and the recruitment/job sector as a whole is a bit behind the times. We've been to those events, with the thought leaders speaking about 'how they should be using social media' but they are all looking to each other for what is going to work, so they can all copy it. Very few people are innovating in this space. Infact, innovation for some of these people is writing a blog.
TwitJobs is a truely independant company, based apon simple, straightforward, ethical practice to bring more jobs to more people and help people get back to work.
We're social media experts and provide social media consultancy for other businesses too (if you're interested in getting really plugged in contact jason@twitjobs.co.uk) - it's really that easy.
So - big day today, and we were very keen to show off our current stats. 16th most popular UK profile does'nt happen every day - so three cheers to us!
But seriously, we could not do it without each and every person we have following choosing to support what we are doing. Without them, there would be no TwitJobs. So to you, we say thank you, and here is to the next 40,000 followers and breaking into the top 10? - Can we do it? We're going to give it our best shot!
