  • WordPress improved quite a bit this week as we saw performances across several campaigns jump in engagement. There was a drop in Twitter followers this week, but not related to content performance, but rather a small number of deactivated accounts on the platform. Despite the drops in Twitter, we still managed to improve our score by 991 net-new followers. However, the real winner this week is in our engagement. While we saw fewer impressions overall, we actually increased our engagement levels by 46.3% (7,045 total) and a 2.3% engagement percentage based on impressions.
  • The overall performance came from the WP 6.2 campaign. This campaign ended up with all 3 of the top 3 posts for the week, as excitement builds for the release and has garnered lots of attention.
  • Here is a look at some of the performance numbers for the last week:
    • Impressions: 300,977
    • Engagements: 7,045
    • Link clicks: 2,030
    • Engagement Rate: 2.3%

Collaboration Session

  • #114 Discussion: Create plan for short-form video content on Tiktok
  • #187 Develop shortform video content and related copy with Learn Team
    • This conversation focused on creating a plan for short-form video content on TikTok and developing short-form video content and related copy with Learn Team. Jetpack offers a Story BlockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. that could be used to make short-form content for TikTok, and LearnWP has Jetpack enabled. Currently, the Learn team is focusing more on clips and shorter versions of more traditional tutorials, but the original marketing ticket was intended to look at activating the WordPress TikTok account and using that vertical, quick in-and-out format.
    • The group discussed using the same videos on several sources in a vertical format, as well as multi-purposing the content to maximize its use. They suggest creating bite-sized hacks/tips content from existing tutorials instead of creating standalone, unconnected content. The group also plans to explore using the Jetpack stories block on a disposable site and to hold a Zoom session to discuss it.
    • The team discussed the use of TikTok for WordPress promotion, and Dan expressed his reservations about its effectiveness due to policy and government issues, the fact that people don’t go to TikTok to learn about WordPress, and that TikTok wouldn’t provide long-term value as a storage place for videos. However, the team pointed out that vertical videos could also be used on other platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Jetpack Stories. The team also noted that TikTok can be viewed from the viewpoint that it is now the second-leading search engine for younger adults behind Google. When viewed as discovery tool rather than just a friend-to-friend chat app, it begins to see greater importance.
    • The team also discussed the need for content creators and suggested that the Learn/training team would be the primary creators, and that the person on camera doesn’t have to be the one who knows the content. Santana suggested revisiting a proposal to launch a pilot program, “A low-effort, time-limited test could help us begin answering some of those questions.”
    • The team decided to dedicate the next coffee break to explore Jetpack Stories and how that feature could be used to develop and publish short-form vertical content on WP.org.
  • Google Analytics Statistics for Docs and Learn
    • This conversation focused on whether there are statistics available for WP.org docs sites and who has access to them. Estelaris asked if there were any statistics available. Courtney suggested LearnWP is looking for similar stats. EidolonNight responded that they had access to Google Analytics and had previously provided stats to Hugh for Training; they can provide data on one-off requests, but there are some unspecified issues and caveats with the current Google Analytics setup. The LearnWP team is looking for more data on video playtime and would like to connect GA to their team email that only Learn Faculty have logins for. Dan Soschin will need to do some digging on Learn video performance as there have been difficulties connecting the dots in the past.
  • #201 Develop a widgetWidget A WordPress Widget is a small block that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in sidebars also known as widget-ready areas on your web page. WordPress widgets were originally created to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the WordPress theme to the user. for WordPress dashboard to offer Mobile app installation
  • #204 Mobile app promotion campaign
    • The conversation centered around developing a widget for the WordPress dashboard to offer mobile app installation and promoting mobile app marketing campaigns. The team discussed how the mobile app could be promoted and its possible promotion with a link in the WordPress dashboard. A member requested feedback from the mobile team about the idea, and another suggested that planning for the campaign should start early on, so they are ready when the mobile upgrades are complete. The team also mentioned the new mobile support forumSupport Forum WordPress Support Forums is a place to go for help and conversations around using WordPress. Also the place to go to report issues that are caused by errors with the WordPress code and implementations. that the mobile team has been working on for a few months.
    • The group continued the discussion of the mobile app dashboard widget, suggesting that it should be a marketing tool that links to a download page on dot-org with details and various download links, whereas the current Mobile page is extremely sparse. Many members emphasized that the mobile app can bring a lot of value to WordPress users, but many of them are not aware that it even exists. The team discussed additional ideas for promoting the mobile app, such as dashboard widgets, materials for meetups, and more. The group also suggested adding the mobile team to the conversation to provide more information and support for the promotion campaign. Three team members will work to combine the two tickets into a more specific ticket covering the mobile conversation to move it forward.

Next Steps

Our next meeting is 04 April, 2023 at 15:00 UTC.

  • WordPress improved slightly this week in net-new followers with a 1,070 jump through the week. This is still over our usual target of 1K, which is good to see. We ran more campaigns throughout the week and did see an increase in impressions.

More on that shortly.
  • The overall performance came from the WP20 campaign. This campaign ended up with all 3 of the top 3 posts for the week and was really 5 of the top 6, which is exciting for its early promotion of it.

For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. comments about this note-taking process: Per our marketing team process goals for developing a notes system that is manageable and useful for the team and the overall project on a long-term basis, I developed a step-by-step process for note-taking in the above format. Today I was able to time the process, and it clocked in at 28 minutes (not including posting), which beats our team-rep goal of a notes-taking process that averages 30 minutes. Woot! I’ll be preparing the notes from March 1 shortly, and will time it again. As we are still in our notes-development process, please be sure to leave comments on these notes, both what works for you, and what’s missing, so we can incorporate your experience. Thanks!

WordPress continued some strong individual performances this week but this was seen most in the number of new followers again earned this week with a total of 1,869 net-new followers. Impressions and engagements were lower this week but based on the fact we had fewer campaigns. Instagram was again our leading channel in terms of growth with another 646 new followers which is a 55.7% jump over the previous week.

Part of the overall performance came from the WP Learn campaign and WP 6.1 features campaigns. These 2 campaigns ended up in the top 3 for the week respectively. The WP 6.1 posts actually ended up with 2 posts in the top 3.

Here is a look at some of the performance numbers for the last week:

WordPress had a successful week this past week as we scored the highest amount of net-new followers for WordPress ever in a weekly period. With 1,946 new followers (a 6.9% increase over last week), we passed our September high when WordCamp US was running. Considering we didn’t have any major events this week (SOTW, WordCamp US/Asia/Europe) this is a milestone week for us. Impressions increased and while engagements are down, that can be attributed to a couple of campaigns that were more announcement only posts with no CTAs asking for direct clicks to the website. Instagram continues its meteoric rise with new followers again adding another 508 followers alone.

Part of the overall performance came from the WP News post on “Why WordPress” and WPDiversity. These 2 campaigns ended up in the top 3 for the week respectively. The WP News post actually ended up with 2 posts in the top 3.

Here is a look at some of the performance numbers for the last week:

Impressions: 223,720

Engagements: 3,869

Link clicks: 1,067

Engagement Rate: 1.6%
